Korgan was a Trandoshan hunter. The Trandoshan led a hunt on a village of Wookiees on the planet Kashyyyk during a Life Day celebration at some point by the year 32 BBY. Korgan's hunt led to the capture of several Wookiees, as well as the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who was attending the gathering with his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kenobi and the Wookiees, led by Brennonn, undertook a rescue of the prisoners, with Korgan surrendering once the Wookiees had surrounded the Trandoshans.
