Boruush, a Trandoshan pirate, was the individual to whom Trademaster Kavork of the Red Meteor Consortium pirate organization was indebted due to gambling losses. Before the events of the Battle of Rishi, the individual formerly known as Cipher Nine and previously the Minister of Intelligence within the Sith Empire, aimed to recover Shara Jenn, who was encased in carbonite, from Kavork's possession. Consequently, Cipher Nine killed Boruush while the Minister was in discussions with Kavork on Rishi, with the intention of demonstrating the Minister's power to the pirate leader.
The character of Boruush is featured as an opponent in "Forfeit," a specific class mission available to the Imperial Agent within the Shadow of Revan expansion pack for the video game titled Star Wars: The Old Republic.
