The '''Nami''' were a group of nomadic warriors who became [[Pirate/Legends|pirates]] in the [[Outer Rim Territories/Legends|Outer Rim Territories]] after the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]].

==History==
Originally from the [[Core Worlds/Legends|Galactic Core]], they were driven into the Rim during the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]] and largely forgotten.

Years later, a female Nami leader named [[Ali Tarrak]] came to power. Forces under her command captured a prototype of the new [[TIE/D Defender]] [[Starfighter/Legends|starfighter]] produced by the [[Galactic Empire/Legends|Galactic Empire]], and very nearly precipitated an arms race by attempting to sell that technology to the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebels]]. Under her leadership, the Nami proved a serious new threat to the balance of power in the Empire, having acquired one its most advanced starfighters and assembled their own facilities to pursue independent production of these starfighters. The Nami also proved a highly tenacious foe in battle, wreaking havoc on TIE Defender facilities loyal to the Empire during Tarrak's reign. Eventually she was captured and sent to [[Coruscant/Legends|Coruscant]], where she would be trained to serve the Emperor.

Prior to their short-lived acquisition of the TIE Defender, the Nami also flew the [[R60 T-wing interceptor|T-wing interceptor]] as their primary strike fighter, along with a formidable wing of [[BTL Y-wing starfighter/Legends|Y-wing starfighters]]. They also maintained a small fleet of combat ships, several of them [[Strike-class medium cruiser|''Strike''-class medium cruisers]], such as the ''[[Bognog]]''. They maintained numerous facilities for manufacturing the TIE Defender upon their capture of such ships, but these were eventually destroyed by the Empire, depriving the Nami of their brief spaceflight advantage.
