The Bovark or Borvak clan was a Nimbanese clan, and one of the prime data holders for the Bureau of Ships and Services (or BoSS) several centuries BBY. Captain Mingo Bovark was likely a clan member. Unfortunately for the Bovarks, they considered bureaucracy to be a competitive endeavor. This competitiveness was in keeping with Nimbanese culture, but the Bovarks combined this with aggressive tendencies which were atypical for Nimbanels. This led to conflict with other BoSS data holders, such as the Nimbanese Krovalis clan.
