Korin Pers was a female Ugnaught scholar who held the position of sava at the University of Bar'leth in the Core Worlds during the reign of the Galactic Republic. As an expert on various types of antiquities, she wrote works published throughout the Republic, although she eventually left the university. At some stage she worked with the smuggler Lando Calrissian and lost her left eye in the process, forcing her to get a cybernetic replacement and causing her to greatly dislike Calrissian despite the smuggler promising he would someday make up for the Ugnaught's injury if he could.
