Cormun was a Human male who was alive during the Cold War , a period of unrest between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire . Around the year 3643 BBY , Cormun was serving in the Imperial Army of the Sith Empire as a sergeant in the Korriban regiment ' s Fifth Infantry company . During that time , he was on Korriban near the Sith Academy located on that planet . He was assigned the task of exterminating an infestation of k ' lor ' slugs in the tomb of the Sith Lord Ajunta Pall . The k ' lor ' slugs , a species of large worm - like creatures , had survived initial attempts at extermination due to their high rate of reproduction . Seeing that previous attempts had failed , Cormun decided to destroy the creatures ' egg chambers using explosives . However , when he and his troops entered the egg chambers and attempted to destroy them , the k ' lor ' slugs attacked them in a crazed frenzy . Although Cormun ' s troops were outnumbered , they were able to place the explosives despite losing three entire squads of experienced troops , which comprised the majority of Sergeant Cormun ' s forces . However , Cormun and his remaining forces were unable to detonate the explosives before they were forced to retreat from the k ' lor ' slug egg chambers and take up a defensive position at one of the entrances to the tomb . Cormun realized that his men would be unable to complete the mission and that he would need the help of a Force - user to destroy the k ' lor ' slugs ' egg chambers . Without enough troops left to enter the tomb and detonate the explosives they had planted , Cormun and his remaining men guarded the entrance , along with a Sith Warrior named Veshta , and a Sith Inquisitor named Gesen , who was examining dead k ' lor ' slugs . By that time , only two of Cormun ' s troopers remained alive in the tomb , with one able to stand guard and the other unable to fight due to his wounds . Eventually , a Sith Acolyte from the Sith Academy arrived in the tomb and spoke with Cormun , who asked for assistance in destroying the k ' lor ' slugs . He told the acolyte that if the explosives were successful in destroying the egg chambers , the k ' lor ' slugs could then be eradicated . The acolyte accepted the assignment and successfully destroyed the egg chambers using the explosives , which Cormun heard from his position at the entrance . Upon the acolyte ' s return , Cormun praised the individual for the successful completion of the task and stayed at the entrance to defend the position , waiting to be reassigned . While he stayed at the entrance , he warned non - Sith away from the tomb , informing them that the Sith did not appreciate visitors . Personality and traits . Although Sergeant Cormun was in command of three entire squads of troopers , during his mission to destroy k ' lor ' slugs in Ajunta Pall ' s tomb he was unable to keep his troops from being killed . After most of his troops were eliminated , Cormun realized that he would need someone more skilled to destroy the creatures . However , he stilled viewed his soldiers as highly skilled , and believed that their defeat was due to them being outnumbered by the k ' lor ' slugs . After his encounters with the k ' lor ' slugs , Cormun viewed them as horrific and deadly , with more intelligence than he originally thought they possessed . He also had a fair amount of knowledge about events and new arrivals at the academy . He had fair skin , brown hair , and blue - gray eyes . When he met the Sith Acolyte , Cormun knew who the acolyte was and how the individual had arrived at the academy . When speaking to the acolyte , Cormun was respectful and asked the acolyte for permission to make his request for aid . He presented the mission to the acolyte as a way to impress the academy overseers , as well as form connections with the Imperial military . Cormun viewed the acolyte ' s Force - sensitivity as a major advantage , to the point of the acolyte being worth a dozen normal individuals . Although he was polite to the Sith Acolyte , Cormun insisted that he could not complete the mission without the aid of someone who could use the Force . Learning from his own mistakes , Cormun warned the acolyte against underestimating the k ' lor ' slugs as he had done during his attempts to exterminate them . During his assignment to destroy the k ' lor ' slugs , Cormun was able to come up with a solution to destroy the k ' lor ' slugs using explosives , which was successful , although his troops were unable to implement it . Equipment . During his time in Ajunta Pall ' s tomb , Cormun wore a suit of red and gray armor of the same type that was worn by Imperial troopers on Korriban at the time . He used a blaster rifle and possessed the explosives necessary to destroy the nests of the k ' lor ' slugs . Behind the scenes . Sergeant Cormun appears in " " , a 2011 MMORPG produced by BioWare .
