Gorem


Gorem was a Keshiri servant of the Lost Tribe of Sith on the remote planet Kesh. Gorem worked as a bearer in the Sith ward-room, where he grew close to a woman named Orlenda. In 4985 BBY, he was sent to work on the crashed Sith starship Omen, in order to recover anything that could be useful. While toiling away in an apothecary, Gorem came into contact with the deadly compound cyanogen silicate, which killed him soon after. His death gave his supervisor, Ravilan Wroth, the idea to use cyanogen silicate to create the appearance of a mysterious plague, which would force the Sith leaders to focus on a way off Kesh.

Biography


Gorem was a native of the planet Kesh.

Gorem was a native of the planet Kesh.

A Keshiri, Gorem was a native of the planet Kesh, where he lived in the era after the Great Hyperspace War. Gorem served the Lost Tribe of Sith, a group of Sith castaways who had crashed on the remote world in 5000 BBY, and convinced the Keshiri to worship them as gods. Gorem worked as a bearer for the ward-room where the children of the Lost Tribe were born, and by 4985 BBY had begun a flirtation with a Human woman named Orlenda, the assistant to prominent Sith and head medic Seelah Korsin.

Physically strong, that year Gorem was sent to work under Sith Ravilan Wroth, breaking down the decks of the crashed Sith starship Omen in search of whatever the Lost Tribe could use. While working on the ship's Massassi apothecary, Gorem touched a deck plate stained with the lethal compound cyanogen silicate. When he washed his hands, the cyanogen silicate intensified, and he died not long after. For his funeral, Gorem's body was thrown over a nearby cliff into the sea. Orlenda later explained the circumstances of Gorem's death and funeral to Korsin while examining Human Lost Tribe children as part of their efforts to ensure the Human purity and genetic perfection of the Sith.

Wroth had been searching for a way to convince his superiors, namely Lost Tribe leader Yaru Korsin, to withdraw from Keshiri affairs and focus on finding a way offplanet. Inspired by Gorem's death, Wroth used cyanogen silicate to kill thousands in the city Tetsubal, in an attempt to frighten Korsin with the appearance of a mysterious plague. After subsequent "outbreaks" in other nearby towns, Wroth's plan was discovered, and he was executed along with most of the rest of the Lost Tribe's non-Human members.

Personality and traits


With a beefy physique, Gorem was very physically strong and well-suited to labor, which led to confusion as to the cause of his death while working on the Omen. Gorem was particularly close with the human female Orlenda, who was quite enamored with him.
