Ssk Kahorr Ssk Kahorr was a Cha ' a merchant lord active in the Koros system in the years leading up to the Great Hyperspace War . Kahorr employed an assistant named Gorrm and additionally was often seen with a small insectoid creature named Tk ' lokk on his shoulder . In 5000 BBY , Kahorr sent a drone ship , the " Zeta Five " , along the hyperspace route Goluud Corridor to deliver supplies to a mining colony on Goluud Minor . The " Zeta Five " was destroyed by a solar flare , however , resulting in the loss of all cargo . An enraged Kahorr sent assassins after the two navigators who blazed the trail , siblings Gav and Jori Daragon . Unfortunately for Kahorr , the assassins were fended off by two Jedi Knights , Odan - Urr and Memit Nadill . The Daragons escaped the system , but Jori returned later , proclaiming that she had found the long - lost Sith Empire , and that they were planning to attack the Galactic Republic . Kahorr took this opportunity to seize Daragon ' s ship , the " Starbreaker 12 " , as payment for the destruction of " Zeta Five " . The Cha ' a merchant subsequently took the ship for a joyride to test its controls ; however , the ship was destroyed by an incoming Sith fleet , killing Kahorr . Biography . Hunting the Daragons . Ssk Kahorr , a male Cha ' a , was a merchant active in the Koros system in the years leading up to the Great Hyperspace War . As a young Cha ' a , Kahorr devoured his hatchling - mates , an event that he believed taught him to appreciate success . Later in life , having become a merchant lord , Kahorr employed a being named Gorrm as his assistant , and was frequently sighted with a small insectoid creature named Tk ' lokk residing on his shoulder . In 5000 BBY , shortly after the Koros system Unification Wars , Kahorr sent a drone ship named " Zeta Five " to the Goluud system , where a new mining colony had been started on Goluud Minor . The ship contained components and equipment , which were vital for the survival of the young colony . Through spies in the Navigators ' Guild , Kahorr learned of a newly discovered hyperlane , the Goluud Corridor , which purportedly would cut the ship ' s hyperspace time by a third , and increase their profits a hundredfold . Gorrm was wary of the route ' s safety , as it passed precariously close to the system ' s unstable red giant star , Primus Goluud . Nevertheless , Kahorr swore to its safety , as he trusted in the Navigators ' Guild safety standards , and insisted that only cowards would fear such risks . Using the Goluud Corridor , " Zeta Five " reached the Goluud system successfully , but encountered unexpected danger : stellar activity in the star Primus Goluud had entered a violent phase , and the ensuing solar flares destroyed the ship and its cargo . When Kahorr learned of the ship ' s destruction , he was enraged and ordered Gorrm to find out who approved the hyperlane so he could get revenge . When he discovered that it was Shodon Ko of the Navigators ' Guild who approved the route , Kahorr had Ko murdered and then devoured his body . Next , Kahorr ordered Gorrm to find the being or beings who first blazed the trail . The beings in question were brother - and - sister hyperspace navigators Gav and Jori Daragon . Upon learning of the Daragons ' identities , Kahorr sent two assassins after them , hoping to eat their corpses as well . Instead , the dispatched bounty hunters were killed by two Jedi , Memit Nadill and Odan - Urr , who happened to be in the area . With nothing but creditors waiting for them , the Daragons fled the Koros system in their ship " Starbreaker 12 " , which they were forced to steal back from repair dock owner Aarrba . The " Starbreaker 12 " and death . After taking the " Starbreaker 12 " , the Daragons took a blind hyperspace jump and happened upon the Sith Empire , which had been isolated from the galaxy since the Hundred - Year Darkness nearly two thousand years before . There , they found Naga Sadow , a Dark Lord of the Sith who planned to follow the Daragons back to the Galactic Republic and wage war on the government that had exiled them after the Hundred - Year Darkness . Gav Daragon was kept behind by Sadow , who allowed Jori to flee back to the Republic . Unbeknownst to Jori , a tracking device had been placed on the " Starbreaker 12 " , in order to lead the Sith to the Republic . Jori returned to the Koros system in the " Starbreaker 12 " and landed in the city of Cinnagar , telling her tales of Sith militarization for all to hear ; however , her pleas for assistance against the Sith threat fell on deaf ears . A crowd immediately gathered around the " Starbreaker 12 " , including Koros soldiers , who arrested her for stealing the " Starbreaker 12 " and firing on Cinnagar security ships during their escape . Ssk Kahorr , accompanied by Gorrm , took this opportunity to push his way to the front of the crowd , proclaiming that the " Starbreaker 12 " was legally his as partial payment for the destruction of the " Zeta Five " . Kahorr had Gorrm give the pertinent records to the Cinnagar authorities . In a sudden Merchants ' Guild decision , the " Starbreaker 12 " was awarded to the Cha ' a merchant ; the time limit for appeals had run out while Daragon was away in the Sith Empire . Daragon was promptly thrown in prison and was sent to the colony world of Ronika . Kahorr , having taken ownership of the " Starbreaker 12 " , decided to take it out to test how the ship performed . Suddenly , a proximity alarm sounded . When Kahorr asked Gorrm what the source of the alarm was , Gorrm told him that a large number of ships were dropping out of hyperspace nearby . It turned out to be a large battle fleet : the Sith had followed Jori Daragon back to the Koros system , and were homing in on the " Starbreaker 12 " . Before Kahorr and Gorrm could escape the Sith fired on the ship , destroying the " Starbreaker 12 " and killing Ssk Kahorr . Personality and traits . Ssk Kahorr was a shrewd businessbeing ; he was able to find a way to potentially increase profits a hundredfold by using the Goluud Corridor , although that venture did not end the way he had hoped . He was also able to maneuver his way into control of the " Starbreaker 12 " after the arrest of Jori Daragon . Kahorr was enraged upon learning of the destruction of " Zeta Five " and did not hesitate in ordering the deaths of Shodon Ko and the Daragons . Kahorr had a taste for flesh and excitedly looked forward to devouring the Daragons . Even though he lost the opportunity to eat Jori Daragon , he greatly enjoyed depriving her of the " Starbreaker 12 " , ignoring her pleas for mercy . The Cha ' a was particularly domineering to his subjects , especially Gorrm , and had a close owner - pet relationship to Tk ' lokk , who he allowed to rest on his shoulder the majority of the time . Kahorr preached that one should enjoy one ' s success , due to the fact that success is hard to come by . Behind the scenes .
