Roron Corobb was a Ithorian male[2] Jedi Master[3] who, alongside the Togruta Jedi Master Shaak Ti and a clone task force, helped to protect Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine from Separatist General Grievous when Grievous stormed Galactic City in an attempt to kidnap Palpatine during the Battle of Coruscant. Grievous cut through Republic and Jedi security, including Corobb, killing him. Corobb had black eyes and light orange-brown skin, wore dark red Jedi robes, and was equipped with a lightsaber that emitted a green blade.[2]

After the Jedi Masters Corobb and Ti had been dispatched to Palpatine's apartments to escort him out of his quarters. Palpatine dismissed his concerns, steadfast in his refusal to flee in the face of the Separatist attack. Grievous then appeared, accompanied by his Magnaguards, who wielded phrik alloy electrostaffs capable of stopping a lightsaber. Despite the efforts of Ti and Corobb to bring Palpatine to safety, only Shaak Ti survived, having been knocked out by Grievous, who added her lightsaber to his collection before fleeing with his target.[3] Corobb's lightsaber also fell into the cyborg's possession.[2]
