Nogri Hessen was a Trandoshan male who made his home on Tatooine throughout the time of the Galactic Civil War. Subsequent to the Battle of Yavin, Hessen could be found in Mos Eisley's cantinas. On one occasion, Hessen placed an order for Tasty Dried Critters, but he was dismayed to discover that Byxle Pedette, the chef, had included a live gorg that consumed his entire meal.
Nogri Hessen functioned as a non-player character in Star Wars Galaxies, the massively multiplayer online roleplaying game from 2003. This video game was created by Sony Online Entertainment and brought to the public by LucasArts. The game was shut down on December 15, 2011. Hessen was incorporated into the game when "Publish 25", also known as the "New Game Enhancements," was released on November 15, 2005.
