Savossk was born into a small and relatively unknown clan on Dosha in 21 BBY, during a year of turmoil caused by a Wookiee blockade. Following Trandoshan tradition, Savossk consumed the eggs of his hatchlings at birth. As a youngling he closely adhered to protocol and tutelage under the Elders of his clan, and was indoctrinated into the religion of the Scorekeeper.
