Legend

this Corellian served the Old Republic as the planetary governor. He assumed the title of Moff after Emperor Palpatine took control of the galaxy, and administered Corellia with a loose hand. He often turned a deaf ear to smuggling and priacy, and the resulting influx of smugglers and pirates tainted Corellia's otherwise spotless history. Vorru was considered to be a rival for Palpatine's position early in the New Order, until Prince Xizor had him arrested and sent to the prison on Kessel on trumped-up charges. This allowed Xizor to take control of the Corellian criminal world and use it as a training ground for his future lieutentant, such as Zekka Thyne. Years later, when the New Republic was trying to find information on Coruscant's defenses, Wedge Antilles liberated Vorru on the condition that he keep an eye on Zekka Thyne. Vorru agreed, and was set loose on Coruscant. He petitioned the New Republic to allow him to create the Imperial City People's Militia, as a way to get the underworld under control without expending addition Republic resources. Basically, the ICPM would mean that the criminals governed themselves, under the control of Vorru himself. The Provisional Council reluctantly agreed, and Vorru set up his militia. However, he had his own agenda, with some direction from Ysanne Isard. The ICPM became a revamped Black Sun criminal organization, and Vorru became its crimelord. He controlled the information going back to the Council, and was even so bold as to apprehend Kirtan Loor. He blackmailed Loor into working for him, and began playing his own aspirations against the demands of both the New Republic and Isard. In the end, Vorru became Isard's man in all aspects, and leaked information about a supposed Palpatine Counterinsurgency Faction attack on his own bacta storehouse. This helped deflect the Republic from the plans of Isard, who then destroyed much of Imperial City while raising the Lusankya from its drydock and fleeing Coruscant. Vorru went with her, and when they arrived on Thyferra, Isard made Vorru her Minister of Trade. When they created the Thyferran Home Defense Corps, Vorru became involved with Erisi Dlarit, and the two spent equal time alone in love and mocking Isard. When the Battle of Thyferra started and began to go the way of Rogue Squadron, Vorru tried to escape form Thyferra in his personal shuttle. He was caught by Elscol Loro and Iella Wessiri. When he tried to escape, Elscol shot him in the throat. However, her weapon had been set to stun by Iella, who wanted to bring him before the New Republic to atone for his crimes.
