The Noghri Overclan represented the combined clans from the planet Honoghr, located within Wild Space. The Noghri were a species organized into clans with a hierarchical tribal structure, and the Noghri Overclan served as the supreme governing body. Soon after its founding, the Noghri Overclan gained acceptance into the New Republic.
From the end of the Clone Wars in 19 BBY until the death of Grand Admiral Thrawn in 9 ABY, the Noghri regarded the Galactic Empire as their dominant clan. This was due to their appreciation for what they believed was the Empire's role in revitalizing Honoghr's environment, which was suffering from a major ecological crisis, and the subsequent occupation of their world by the Empire.
