Vor Harkass, a Human with Force-sensitive abilities, functioned as an Imperial scout during the era of the Galactic Civil War.
Born on Nar Shaddaa, Harkass was the offspring of a slave dancer under the ownership of a Hutt. To protect Harkass, the dancer kept the child hidden for several years before sending the eight-year-old Harkass to live with family members on Alderaan. Enrolling in Aldera University, Harkass resolved to become a scout and explore the galaxy. Despite their disapproval, Harkass's relatives tried in vain to dissuade Harkass from enlisting in the scout corps of the Imperial Army, arguing that the Empire and Palpatine were malevolent. Harkass disregarded their warnings.
Harkass served on the YT-2400 light freighter known as the Predator's Beak. The ship suffered a catastrophic crash on the planet Yorgraxx, leaving it inoperable with no functional engines or communication systems. Harkass and Arran Flekk were the only individuals to survive the incident. After more than a month stranded on the planet, they encountered the surviving members of a downed Rebel Alliance vessel, and they decided to unite their efforts. Shortly after, they ventured into the fortress inhabited by the spirit of the Sith Lord Quorlac Fornayh, where they faced his reawakened presence.
Harkass was a character in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game scenario titled Shadows in the Force. The character's gender is not fixed in the lore and is determined by the player.
