House Cormond existed as a prominent family on the Core Worlds planet called Brentaal IV. In the waning decades of the Galactic Republic, they once had a bodyguard in their service; however, he departed from both his position and the Core to accept a more financially rewarding job managing security for House Elegin located on the planet Asmeru.
The initial reference to House Cormond occurred in 2014 within the pages of Tarkin, a novel penned by James Luceno.
