Gorc Gorc was a Force - sensitive Gamorrean male native of the planet Pzob . After leaving his homeworld with his older brother Thok , Gorc traveled the galaxy , serving first as a test subject for a scientist named Pineas Pontak , and later as an enforcer for the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure on the planet Tatooine . However , when the brothers found themselves in trouble after a cantina fight , Gorc was sold out to the Galactic Empire by Thok . The Gamorrean was subsequently mutated into Sithspawn by Galactic Emperor Palpatine ' s " monster - maker " Cronal . As a result of his mutation , Gorc shared genes , abilities , and characteristics and had a symbiotic link through the Force with his fellow test subject , the Kowakian monkey - lizard Picaroon C . Boodle . Because of that connection , Gorc and Pic were eventually dubbed " the Brothers of the Sith . " The " twins " were pressed into service of the Miraluka Inquisitor Jerec and , as part of his Dark Jedi team , helped him in the search for the long - lost Valley of the Jedi , the source of great power which Jerec hoped to use for his own needs . In 5 ABY , Jerec sent Gorc and Pic to deactivate the droid information broker 8t88 — a mission which the brothers easily completed aboard Jerec ' s personal cargo ship , the " Sulon Star " . However , 8t88 was tracked by an aspiring Jedi , Kyle Katarn , who was trying to stop Jerec . Gorc tried to attack Katarn with his huge lightclub , but was killed by a shot in the face from Katarn ' s Bryar pistol . Biography . Early life . Gorc was a male Gamorrean native of the Gamorrean colony world of Pzob . A member of the Skunnt clan , Gorc and his older brother Thok both shared a rather uncommon trait among their species — they were Force - sensitive . The two were initially oblivious to their powers , but Thok , generally regarded as the smarter of the two , eventually realized their true potential when he accidentally belched out a ball of fire into the snout of his rival Scumbo . Believing that they would be able to put their powers to good use and make fortune , Thok acquired a universal transliterator and took Gorc offworld . Gorc and his sibling first found work as guinea pigs for a scientist named Doctor Pineas Pontak on the planet Zlarbv IV . As part of his development of the Pontak Hypergland , Pontak performed painful experiments on the pair , infusing their bodies with alien secretions , which had an unexpected side - effect of making Gorc ' s and Thok ' s muscles swell when they were enraged . Fed up with the Doctor ' s methods , the brothers eventually left him and moved to the desert planet of Tatooine . There , Gorc and his brother met a fellow Gamorrean named Ortugg , who recruited them to serve as bodyguards for a notorious local crime lord , the Hutt Jabba Desilijic Tiure . The two spent some time in Jabba ' s employ until one night in Mos Eisley ’ s Red Moon Saloon . During an incident that erupted there — which involved Thok , Gorc , seven barrels of Zelosian wine , and a Kloo horn — three Gungans were bludgeoned to death and five Ugnaughts ended up being fricasseed . Gorc and Thok were captured and ended up in the custody of a local Imperial darksider named Sariss , who was better known as the " Prophetess " . Gorc ' s older brother betrayed him in an effort to save his own life and told Sariss about Gorc ' s Force - sensitivity . However , this only piqued the Prophetess ' interest and she took Gorc away . Gorc ended up in Imperial scientist Tuzin Gast ' s Project Chubar , a research effort intending to provide super - intelligent , loyal , and Force - sensitive non - Humans to serve the Empire as spies . However , Gorc and the Kowakian monkey - lizard Picaroon C . Boodle were soon taken by Lord Cronal , who needed two Force - sensitive " animal " subjects for his latest experiment . Cronal experimented on the pair using powerful Sith alchemy and eventually turned them into Sithspawn . Both Pic and Gorc were mutated beyond the point of recognition , and they each shared the other ' s genes , abilities , and characteristics , and had a symbiotic link through the Force . After being mutated and experimented on , Gorc and his " twin " were handed over to the Miraluka Inquisitor Jerec , who , alongside Sariss , trained the two Sithspawn in the ways of the dark side of the Force . The twins became members of Jerec ' s cadre of Dark Jedi , which , besides Sariss and Jerec himself , also included the young Epicanthix Yun , the former Jedi Maw , and the Twi ' lek Boc Aseca . Jerec was amused with Gorc and Pic and found them " quite an interesting pair " . Gorc then constructed for himself a lightclub variant of the lightsaber which resembled the traditional Gamorrean thogk club , as well as a set of M ' uhk ' gfa armor for Pic . Search for the Valley of the Jedi . The " Brothers of the Sith " assisted Jerec in his search for the long - lost Valley of the Jedi , a Force nexus containing numerous Jedi and Sith souls . Jerec , who hoped to harness the valley ' s power in order to rebuild the collapsing Galactic Empire , eventually discovered that the Jedi Master Qu Rahn might have some clues as to its location . In 5 ABY , Jerec finally tracked Rahn to the planet Dorlo , where the Jedi Master was on a mission alongside several members of the Rebel Alliance . Jerec sent Maw , Sariss , and Yun to capture Rahn , but the Jedi Master escaped on a CR90 corvette . However , Rahn ' s ship was soon captured in the tractor beam of Jerec ' s personal Super Star Destroyer , the " Vengeance " . Boc then docked a shuttle with the corvette , used coma gas to render everyone aboard unconscious , and transferred Rahn and the Rebels to the " Vengeance " . Before Rahn woke up , Pic stole his lightsaber , which — unbeknownst to the monkey - lizard — had once belonged to Jedi Grand Master Yoda . Rahn and his Rebel companions were then escorted to the " Vengeance " bridge , where Jerec started questioning them about the valley . One of the Rebels , the Klatooinian technologist Rolanda Gron defied Jerec , and the Miraluka ordered Gorc and Pic to kill him . Just as Gorc was ready to strike the Rebel with his club - like lightsaber , Pic lunged unexpectedly at Gron , stabbing him in the throat with his Sith dagger . The remaining two Rebels — the linguistics expert Nij Por Ral and the young pilot Duno Dree — were executed by Yun and Boc . Rahn was left alone and was beaten to his knees by the Dark Jedi . Still , the Jedi Master refused to tell anything , so Jerec used the Force to rip information from Rahn ' s mind . Rahn then unexpectedly Force - pulled Yun ' s lightsaber and charged Jerec ' s Dark Jedi , quickly defeating Boc , Maw , and Sariss . When Gorc tried to attack the Jedi , Rahn easily knocked Gorc ' s lightsaber out of the Gamorrean ' s hands . At that moment , Jerec intervened and killed Rahn . From Rahn ' s mind , Jerec discovered that the man he had killed years ago , a farmer named Morgan Katarn , had found the valley and hidden the map leading to it in his home on the planet Sulon . To this end , Jerec hired the droid information broker 8t88 to find and decipher the map . After the droid completed his objective , Jerec told him to go to Jerec ' s personal cargo ship , the " Sulon Star " , to receive his reward . In reality , Jerec sent Gorc and Pic to dispatch the droid , and the twins were also ordered to kill Kyle Katarn , the son of Morgan Katarn and an aspiring Jedi , who was trying to stop Jerec . 8t88 soon arrived to the " Sulon Star " on a shuttle and met Pic and Gorc in a dark corridor , asking for his pay . Pic sardonically told him they had it before decapitating the droid . Showdown . Under the tutelage of the late Rahn ' s spirit , Kyle Katarn defeated Yun and tracked 8t88 to the " Sulon Star " , looking for the information which would lead him to the Valley of the Jedi and Jerec . Katarn arrived at the corridor 8t88 had been beheaded in , where Gorc and Pic were hiding in the shadows . As Katarn moved toward the droid , its head fell off its shoulders , landing on the floor , where 8t88 ' s pet Hornagaunt lunged forward and digested it . Gorc then emerged from the shadows and attempted to crudely attack Katarn with his large weapon . However , Gorc overestimated the ease with which he would be able to defeat his foe and showed his lack of intelligence by standing in the way of Katarn ' s Bryar pistol . Katarn shot Gorc in the face , destroying the Gamorrean ' s brain and killing him instantly . Gorc ' s death drove Pic insane , and he attacked Katarn with his Sith dagger , but was killed shortly thereafter when Katarn threw 8t88 ' s heavy head at him , crushing Pic ' s skull . Legacy . Katarn ultimately managed to kill Jerec and free the spirits of the Jedi trapped in the valley . The young Jedi Knight regarded his duel with Pic and Gorc as extremely difficult and felt angry at the Rebel Alliance ' s leader Mon Mothma for not fully recognizing his effort . Katarn left Gorc and Pic ' s bodies on the " Sulon Star " , which eventually crashed near the valley . Years later , when Jedi Master Luke Skywalker discovered that Pic had been in possession of one of Yoda ' s lightsabers , he sent a squad of Jedi to retrieve it . Personality and traits . In many ways a typical representative of his species , Gorc was a mean individual with a love for fighting and a distaste for droids . A blue - eyed Gamorrean , Gorc was very heavy and slow , being over three meters in height and weighing 200 kilograms . In contrast to his size , Gorc was somewhat dim - witted , even more - so than his older brother , a trait he displayed by standing in the way of Katarn ' s blaster . Gorc preferred not to engage in conversation , which he usually left to Pic . He was the less aggressive of the pair , but that did not make him any less dangerous , as he was not afraid to slaughter his enemies . Over the years , Gorc and Pic ' s closeness became more than just a dark side connection — it could almost be described as friendship . Pic , who considered himself the " older " brother , deeply cared about his slower sibling and protected him from abuse . In return for his kindness , Gorc gave Pic the set of M ' uhk ' gfa armor which he had crafted himself . Powers and abilities . Gorc and Thok ' s Force - sensitivity manifested itself even back when they lived on Pzob . Their skin tended to acquire a unique reddish tint when they boiled with rage . Later , as a side - effect of Doctor Pontak ' s experiments , Gorc ' s muscles also started to swell dramatically whenever the Gamorrean became enraged . Trained by Jerec and Sariss in the ways of the dark side , Gorc and Pic — despite their nearly comical appearance — were a deadly pair . Pic was quick , agile , and intelligent and Gorc was extremely powerful . Gorc rarely moved or spoke , though when Pic stirred him up , the duo worked together as a team , covering all angles as well as each other ' s weaknesses . Gorc had a long and thick orange - bladed lightclub and used it to deliver slow yet powerful strikes at his enemies , whom he preferred to immobilize with Force Grip first . When hit , Gorc was able to use the Force to heal himself . Gorc could also hide his presence within the dark side , thus avoiding being detected by other Force - sensitives . He displayed this ability on the " Sulon Star " while hiding from Katarn . The bond between Pic and Gorc allowed them to be aware of each other ' s location , sense , and feelings at any given time . It also boosted their powers when the twins were near each other . However , such bond also had negative effects ; every time one brother used the dark side , he further corrupted the other one , and vice versa . Also , every time one Sithspawn was injured , the other was forced to share his pain . Although he rarely communicated , Gorc was able to speak three languages — Basic , the Vregg dialect of the Gamorrean language , and the Sith . Apart from his usage of the lightclub , Gorc was also proficient with a wide variety of other weapons , including blaster pistols , blaster rifles , vibroweapon s , and even some primitive and simple weapons . Despite his slow wit , Gorc was also a masterful craftsman , single - handedly constructing Pic ' s suit of M ' uhk ' gfa armor and his own lightclub . Behind the scenes . Gorc first appeared in the 1997 LucasArts video game " " , where he was realized entirely by computer - generated imagery . Gorc is the only Dark Jedi in the game that does not speak . In the game ' s credits , he is credited as " himself . " Gorc later appeared in the 1998 novella adaptation of the first part of the game , " " , and its adaptation . Gorc ' s silent nature is preserved in the novel , where he only grunts . In the audio drama , however , Gorc has several lines and is voiced by Gary Groomes . Additionally , Gorc was briefly mentioned in the second part of the game ' s adaptation , the " " novel and . Gorc ' s backstory was expanded in " The Dark Forces Saga " , a series of game scenarios released by Wizards of the Coast on their web site . Gorc ' s death is different in " Jedi Knight : Dark Forces II " and in " Dark Forces : Rebel Agent " . In the game , Katarn fights both Gorc and Pic with his lightsaber and any one of them can be killed first . In the novel , Katarn shoots Gorc in the face with his blaster , just as Gorc emerges from the shadows . According to Abel G . Peña , Pic and Gorc may have been inspired by and in the 1988 comedy , with one of the villains being tiny and the other huge . When Abel Peña was writing the backstory for Gorc and his companion for the " Dark Forces Saga " , he re - used the term Sithspawn , originally a curse word used by Corran Horn in " " which was revealed to mean a monstrosity created though dark side magic in " Tales of the Jedi Companion " . Peña brought back the concept of Sithspawn , coupling two of the aliens seen in Jabba ' s Palace during to create the " Brothers of the Sith . " The article " " that appeared in " Star Wars Insider 31 " provided Gorc ' s height as 8 feet , which roughly equals 2 . 4 meters . However , his entry in " The Dark Forces Saga " later contradicted that information , stating that Gorc was over 3 meters tall . This article uses the more recent " The Dark Forces Saga " height .
