Nokk

Nokk was a Trandoshan female who worked as a hunter with her husband Winloss. In her clan, Nokk was talented at hunting, and her elders saw promise in her abilities. However, during her coming-of-age ceremony, the hunt leader Skikkesk forced her to kill and skin a baby Wookiee, which Nokk refused to do, leading to a purge of her brood line. Nokk escaped with her life and swore to a life of non-violence thereafter, hunting to capture rather than to kill. While working as a trapper, Nokk fell in love with the human Winloss, and the two chose to work together as hunters.

She and Winloss were hired by the archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra as part of Aphra's attempt to escape being eaten alive by the Shadowfang Beast on X3-299-11. Nokk and her husband survived the ordeal, but were abandoned by Aphra before they could be paid. The two later received a new job from a disguised Doctor Cornelius Evazan, who tasked them with the destruction of the assassin droid 0-0-0. While initially refusing, Nokk discovered Aphra was with the droid, and decided to take the offer. She and Winloss found their targets on Milvayne, being hunted by the undead vigilante Tam Posla.

While Aphra and Triple-Zero managed to briefly escape, the hunters eventually led the fugitives into a trap, capturing them. Before Nokk and Winloss could take their captives away, the Coalition for Progress, in response to the disorder caused by the chase, fired on the city, forcing the hunters to escape from their crashing starship. Nokk and Winloss tracked Aphra down, but decided to let her live, feeling that she was causing enough harm to herself. With the help of the cyberneticist Professor Prexo, the hunters traced the feed that Evazan was broadcasting through Triple-Zero's photoreceptors, apprehending him instead.

Nokk and Winloss later carried out a favor for Aphra in exchange for learning where Skikkesk resided. The hunters worked with the bounty hunter Krrsantan to trick Shrem, a bartender at Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina on Tatooine who had once worked with and betrayed Aphra, into both revealing Skikkesk's location and angering the local crime lord Jabba the Hutt. Their plan was successful, allowing Nokk to exact revenge on Skikkesk for ruining her life.
