Korin Pers

Korin Pers was a female Ugnaught scholar who held the position of sava at the University of Bar'leth in the Core Worlds during the reign of the Galactic Republic. As an expert on various types of antiquities, she wrote works published throughout the Republic, although she eventually left the university. At some stage she worked with the smuggler Lando Calrissian and lost her left eye in the process, forcing her to get a cybernetic replacement and causing her to greatly dislike Calrissian despite the smuggler promising he would someday make up for the Ugnaught's injury if he could.

Despite her animosity towards Calrissian, she agreed to help him steal an Imperial pleasure craft potentially full of antiques for the crime lord Papa Toren. However, this heist attracted the attention of Emperor Palpatine, who was unwilling to let his yacht fall into the wrong hands. During the adventure, Korin and her companions discovered that the Imperialis housed Sith artifacts that were capable of corrupting sentient beings. After being corrupted by a Sith helmet belonging to Sith Lord Darth Momin, Korin decided to turn on Calrissian but was murdered by the corrupted alien warrior Aleksin, a renegade member of Lando's crew.
