Durgard Brarun, a Duros of the male persuasion, held the position of vice-director within CorDuro Shipping during the tumultuous era of the Yuuzhan Vong War. Ducilla was his sibling, and he was a married man with a son who had also entered into matrimony. He held Palpatine in high regard, having been alive during his time as ruler.
The Peace Brigade contacted Brarun in an attempt to secure the necessary votes to transform Duro into a prime objective for the Yuuzhan Vong. This occurred when SELCORE approached the Duros High House regarding the establishment of refugee camps on Duro. Subsequently, Brarun utilized CorDuro to divert the resources meant for the refugees to the orbital cities. Furthermore, when the Yuuzhan Vong attacked Duro, Brarun took Jacen Solo as a captive. Initially, CorDuro and Brarun had agreed to offer up one orbital city to the Yuuzhan Vong, hoping to save the remaining eighteen, while abandoning the planet. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong proceeded to obliterate all but one city, Brarun, along with other executives, arrived to make an appeal. Warmaster Tsavong Lah, having just suffered defeat at the hands of Jacen Solo, instead demanded Solo's identity. Upon Brarun revealing it, Lah confined him within a dovin basal containment field. Ultimately, Brarun and the other officials met their end as they were devoured by Tu-Scart.
