Clan

A clan was the familial and political organization that made up Bothan society. Representatives from the clans comprised the Bothan Council. During the New Republic era, the Clans were collectively known as the Combined Clans.
One could tell a Bothan's Clan by the suffix in their name. The "Lon" in Tereb Ab'Lon for instance denoted he was either from the Ilon or Alon Clan. A Bothan without such a suffix was usually considered a dishonored outcast.
Several Bothan clans assisted the Dressellians during the Galactic Civil War by supplying them with strategic information and thousands of slugthrower rifles.The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology
By the year 3 ABY, the Bothan Council was composed of 608 registered Clans, with 53 new Clans petitioning for legal status.
