Seeral Korrd was born shortly before the Battle of Korriban and the start of the Great Galactic War in 3681 BBY. Both of Korrd's parents were high-ranking and respected members of the Imperial Navy, which guaranteed his admittance into prestigious Imperial military academies.
In 3665 BBY, Korrd's older brother was killed during the Battle of Hoth, an event which devastated Korrd and prompted him to request transfer out of his specialized combat program so that he could study coordinating and transferring supplies. Due to his age and reputation, Korrd was transferred to a quiet outpost on Dromund Kaas.
During the Reconquest of Ord Radama, Korrd bore witness to the cost of running an extensive campaign with limited provisions and he vowed to keep soldiers from fighting in such conditions.
Colonel Korrd only appears in the Imperial storyline. He circumvents Darth Norok's order for full-scale subjugation of Manaan in favor of a more covert kolto extraction operation. Korrd does this to preserve the lives of the imperial personnel, who do not have the numbers required for a proper assault. When Darth Norok is briefly captured by the enemy forces, Korrd goes as far as to fabricate the orders in his name. His deception is eventually uncovered by Major Anri and the Alliance Commander after they release Norok from confinement and hear his side of the story. If Darth Norok is kept alive, he will force-choke Korrd until ordered to stop by Darth Krovos, as Korrd is her subordinate, not Norok's. Player can take either Korrd's side or Norok's before Krovos. If Korrd is exposed, players can either let him be taken to Krovos on Dromund Kaas or kill him on the spot. If the player killed Darth Norok previously, they can likewise expose Korrd before Krovos or cover for him completely.
