- "I am Cakhmaim, warrior of the clan Eikh'mir. I lead the honor guard of the Mal'ary'ush. To your service and protection we commit ourselves and our lives."
- ―Cakhmaim, to Leia Organa Solo
Cakhmaim, clan Eikh'mir, was a Noghri warrior, and the head of Leia Organa Solo's honor guard. He served as chief bodyguard of Leia and her family for over 31 years, beginning at the Thrawn crisis and throughout the Yuuzhan Vong War and Swarm War, until both he and Meewalh were killed when fired upon by the Galactic Alliance Guard Star Destroyer Anakin Solo during the Second Galactic Civil War—on orders which came from Jacen Solo, whom Cakhmaim had once guarded as a newborn.
