Years before 9 BBY, the Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 cargo freighter Primacy crashed its core ship in the Viscid Bog. As the ship descended to the surface, many Vulture droids were thrown clear of the ship, crashing into the tar. The wreckage was eventually infiltrated and claimed by the Gen'Dai warrior Rayvis, who united several local gangs into the fearsome Bedlam Raiders. They reprogrammed the Primacy's droid army, and established the swamp as their base of operations.
In 9 BBY, Jedi Knight Cal Kestis, his droid companion BD-1, and gunslinger Bode Akuna infiltrated the swamp to rescue ZN-A4, a High Republic Era droid kidnapped by Dagan Gera, Rayvis's master. Around the same time, interior designer Wini Eres arrived on Koboh when her datapad was stolen by local wildlife. She chased it to the Viscid Bog, where she became stranded. She soon met Zygg Soza, who stayed with her. The two eventually became romantically involved.
Although most creatures who entered the toxic tar perished, some survived their encounter. One bogling, an invasive species to Koboh, got covered in the morass. Although small and not hostile, the appearance of the sticky creature frightened away two prospectors. At some point, a particular mogu entered the toxic tar, later emerging much more fierce. It became known as the Mire Terror. It was made stronger by the morass that clung to its body, and killed many prospectors.
