The Korbans were a species of blue-skinned sentients that hailed from the planet Korba. Korbans possessed a head with green hair, two pink cheeks, and two large, pink eyes. Several of them worked as miners on Korba, mining kyber crystals in Korba's spires for the Jedi Order, which was deeply grateful for their work. No member of the species had left their world. The young Force-sensitive girl Aau and her father, Abat, were two Korbans who lived at their dwelling on Korba. The former was able to purify kyber crystals by singing, which her father deemed dangerous.
After the Jedi Kratu visited their home, the pair traveled to a Korban settlement, where Abat walked to a new mine shaft in Spire 17 and Aau groomed purple beasts that the Korbans rode. However, Aau abandoned her work and followed her father to a mine, where she entered a cavern filled with kyber crystals.
She sang and purified the crystals, causing the spire that contained the cavern and other nearby spires to collapse; as a result, she, Abat, and the miner Attu tried to escape. Attu successfully escaped, but the other two fell from a bridge, being saved from the fall by Kratu, who generated a Force shield to protect them from the rocks that were falling from the spires. Aau then sang and purified the nearby kyber crystals and stopped the spires' collapse, saving herself, her father, and Kratu, who invited her to leave Korba with her so that the Jedi could nurture the girl's singing abilities. Aau accepted and became the first member of the alien species to leave her world.
