BiographyEdit

Shodon Ko was a male bureaucrat for the Galactic Republic–affiliated Navigators' Guild on the planet Koros Major. In 5,000 BBY, he approved the Goluud Corridor, a short but dangerous hyperspace route discovered by the explorers Gav and Jori Daragon. As the newly-discovered route passed near the unstable red giant Primus Goluud, Ko assigned the Goluud Corridor a high risk factor, which discouraged the Guild's customers from using it. However, Cha'a merchant lord Ssk Kahorr took his chances and sent his drone ship, Zeta Five, through the Goluud Corridor.

Ko then informed Gav Daragon that the Guild would deliver him a substantial bonus in money. However, Zeta Five was destroyed with all cargo when solar flares erupted from Primus Goluud. Angered by the loss of his ship, Kahorr was determined to kill those responsible for mapping and approving the route. Kahorr murdered and devoured Ko, finding him old and tough, before he set out to kill the Daragons. What remained of Ko was soon discovered, in a scene described as "nasty" by Kahorr's thugs.
