During the Imperial Era, Silvasu Fi, a member of the species, served the Cloud-Riders as they stole supplies from the Empire and Crimson Dawn in an effort to fuel a rebellion. Another member of the species, the bounty hunter Xonr, worked for the Bounty Hunters' Guild and tracked down the rogue hunter Beilert Valance in an attempt to eliminate him, but was killed by the cyborg on Coruscant.
During the New Republic era in 9 ABY, a member of the species was present on Nevarro, walking by the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and later chatting with a fellow human. When Din Djarin and Grogu were searching for Jedi to reunite the Child with its kind, a member of this species could be seen amongst an audience watching a pair of Gamorreans fight.
Around 34 ABY, a female member of the species was present on Canto Bight during Rose Tico and Finn's search for the Master Codebreaker. She walked by Dobbu Scay and the astromech droid BB-8 as the former attempted to use the droid as a slot machine.

The species made their debut in the 2017 film Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, directed by Rian Johnson. Artist Jake Lunt Davies designed the species for the film and revealed as such in an post on Instagram. Though he himself was unaware of the species' name, or if it had been named, Leland Chee responded and advised that they had named the species "Namara". This name was provided to the developers of Star Wars: Datapad, a 2019 mobile game for use in Disneyland, though it did not get used in the final product.
