Kosh Kurp was a male Pantoran who worked as an explosives expert for the Galactic Empire. Having witnessed his families' murder as a child during the riots on his homeworld of Intuci, he vowed to exact revenge on Sonopo Bomoor, the Governor responsible for the massacres. Bomoor's real name was in fact Suppoon and shortly after the massacres he resigned as governor to focus on more illegal activities and becoming a Gaar. Kurp devoted his life to finding Bomoor and in the process became an expert in offensive weaponry. His expertise in weapons was so great that Kurp became a weapons specialist for the Empire and it was in this role he would eventually claim his vengeance.
