Eldrak Korsin , a Human male , was an experienced space admiral who served in the navy of the Sith Empire in the years prior to the Great Hyperspace War . Korsin came from a family descended from Tapani nobles , who at some point became subjects of the Sith . The Korsin clan became valuable to their new masters , working in commerce and industry , and interbreeding with the Empire ' s Dark Jedi . As a result , Korsin was Force - sensitive , and he went on to become a highly respected spacer , never losing a ship in his long career . During his naval career , he served alongside his trusted helmsman , Boyle Marcom . He married a woman named Takara , and with her had a son , Yaru , who learned the trade at his father ' s side . Unbeknownst to Korsin , he had another son , Devore — born to a woman on a planet somewhere . Devore eventually sought out his father , and the Admiral embraced him without a second thought . The revelation encouraged Yaru to pursue a naval career more aggressively , and he rose through the ranks to captain . Yaru ' s first command was of a newly - christened Sith dreadnaught named the " Omen " , winning control of the ship over Admiral Korsin himself . Although he had never lost a ship for the Sith Lords , he had lost one to his son , an occurrence that irked Korsin . As for Devore , a spice addiction derailed his prospective naval career , so Korsin sponsored his efforts to become a member of the Sith mineralogical corps . In 5000 BBY , Yaru and Devore , on a Lignan mining expedition , disappeared along with the " Omen " and Korsin ' s old helmsman , Marcom . In reality , they crash - landed on an uncharted world known as Kesh , where the " Omen " surviving crew went on to form a Sith tribe . Korsin ' s grandchildren : his grandson , Jariad , and granddaughter , Nida , would be raised on Kesh . Personality and traits . Korsin was an extremely reliable admiral for the Sith , never losing a ship during his entire career . Possessed of a ruddy and squat frame , which he passed on to his son Yaru , Korsin was very supportive of his children ' s pursuits , sponsoring Yaru ' s naval ambitions and Devore ' s efforts to break into the Sith mineralogical corps . Furthermore , he accepted Devore without a second thought , even after not knowing of his son ' s existence . However , he still held a fair amount of pride and disliked losing command of the " Omen " to Yaru . Behind the scenes . Korsin was first mentioned in " " , a 2009 eBook written by John Jackson Miller .
