Gorrm Gorrm was the assistant and chief navigator for Ssk Kahorr , a merchant lord active in the Koros system in the years leading up to the Great Hyperspace War . In 5000 BBY , one of Kahorr ' s drone ships , the " Zeta Five " , was destroyed on a run to the Goluud system after taking a route called the Goluud Corridor . The enraged Kahorr had Gorrm hire assassins to kill the two navigators who had plotted the Goluud Corridor , Gav and Jori Daragon . However , the assassins were fended off by the 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 " . Kahorr and Gorrm subsequently took the ship for a joyride to test its controls ; however , the ship was destroyed by an incoming Sith fleet , resulting in Gorrm ' s death . Biography . Gorrm , a tall simian sentient , worked as the assistant and chief navigator to merchant lord Ssk Kahorr , who was active in the Koros system in the years leading up to the Great Hyperspace War . In 5000 BBY , Gorrm launched a drone ship , the " Zeta Five " , to deliver much - needed supplies and provisions to a mining colony on Goluud Minor , in the Goluud system . The route to be taken was called the Goluud Corridor , and Gorrm , who was responsible for locking in the coordinates and preparing the ship for launch , raised concerns that the Goluud Corridor passed perilously close to the system ' s red supergiant star , Primus Goluud . Kahorr was quick to dismiss these concerns , trusting fully in the Navigators ' Guild safety standards . However , after the ship was launched , Gorrm ' s fears were confirmed . By the time the " Zeta Five " reached the Goluud system , stellar activity in Primus Goluud had entered into a violent phase , and a massive solar flare obliterated the ship and its cargo . An enraged Kahorr had Gorrm hire assassins and send them after the two navigators who had plotted the route , Gav and Jori Daragon . The two were rescued by a pair of Jedi Knights , Odan - Urr and Memit Nadill , and the Daragons were subsequently able to escape the Koros system in their ship , the " Starbreaker 12 " . Jori Daragon later returned , alone , in the " Starbreaker 12 " , claiming that after their escape , she and her brother had happened upon the Sith Empire , which had been isolated from the galaxy since the Hundred - Year Darkness two - thousand years before . Daragon said that the Sith were preparing to attack the Galactic Republic and demanded a meeting with the leader of the unified Koros system , Teta , to alert her of the threat . However , her pleas fell on deaf ears , and she was arrested for numerous charges related to her escape . Gorrm and Kahorr arrived amongst the crowds surrounding the " Starbreaker 12 " , and Kahorr told the police that were present that the " Starbreaker 12 " was legally his , as a payment for the destruction of " Zeta Five " . Kahorr had Gorrm gave the police the pertinent documents , which proved that by a Merchants ' Guild decision , the " Starbreaker 12 " had indeed been granted to Kahorr . Kahorr and Gorrm decided to take the ship on a joyride to test its controls , but they were suddenly set upon by a Sith battle fleet ; the Sith had followed the " Starbreaker 12 " back to the Republic . The Sith attacked them before they could escape , destroying the " Starbreaker 12 " and killing Gorrm . Personality and traits . Gorrm served Ssk Kahorr faithfully , but he was not afraid to question Kahorr ' s decisions , as he raised concerns about Kahorr ' s choice of the Goluud Corridor as the route on which to send the " Zeta Five " . Gorrm was also a capable pilot , and was Kahorr ' s choice to fly his ships . Behind the scenes .
