Virk, a Zabrak male Lieutenant, served as an officer for the Galactic Republic during both the Cold War and the conflict against the Mantellian Separatist Movement, known as the war.
Virk, infamous for his corruption, was stationed at Fort Garnik, where he routinely defrauded the troopers under his authority. Any trooper who dared to report his activities faced assignment to perilous patrols, leading to at least one documented death. Private Farn, a subordinate of Virk's, informed a Special Forces sergeant about Virk's fraudulent schemes. The Sergeant then escalated the matter to his commanding officers, which started a bureaucratic investigation into Virk's conduct. Upon the soldier's return, Virk accosted the sergeant. Instead of acknowledging his own culpability, Virk placed blame on the sergeant for his predicament. Virk declared the island his "kingdom" and hinted at orchestrating a fatal "accident" for the informant. The sergeant stood firm and did not give in to Virk's intimidation. Subsequently, Virk tried to gather other unethical officers to launch an ambush against the sergeant. However, they were too fearful to confront a member of Havoc Squad. Ultimately, Virk was apprehended and faced a court-martialed trial for treason.
