- "Hear me, offworlders—I will tear you limb from limb! I will have my freedom!"
- ―Kirba encounters the Alliance Commander
Kirba, the Forgotten, was a mutated Gormak residing in the Shrine of Silence on Voss.[2]
History
During their occupation of Voss, the ancient Sith many conducted experiments while on the planet. One of these involved exposing creatures with strong connections to the dark side to a Force-enriched world. Among these was a creature that would later be known as the Curse and a Gormak named Kirba. However, when the newly evolved Voss attacked and exterminated the Sith, the test subjects were left to themselves as the Sith structures fell into ruin. While the creature continued to thrive, changing to the point that whatever species it had once been could no longer be identified, and devouring and corrupting all around it,[3] Kirba remained in the room, separated from the rest of the area by a large chasm, where the Sith had once experimented on him and the creature. He spent his days strolling among the tables and devices, hoping to one day be free.[2]
As millennia passed, the ruins became known to the local Voss as the Shrine of Silence. Eventually, Voss Mystics Rada-Ki and Tem-Su offered to survey the Shrine of Silence to contribute to reconstruction efforts following the Invasion of Voss. The Shrine Restoration Initiative were too preoccupied and were unable to answer their request, prompting them to set out on their own due to not wanting to continue waiting. The two were accompanied by a team of Voss commandos to the shrine, but they ultimately fell victim to the Curse's corruptions and were enslaved by it. Tem-Su's mother, Jiri-Su, sent the Alliance Commander to rescue the Mystics. As they travelled through the Shrine, they solved a puzzle that gave them access to the old Sith lab and encountered Kirba, who believed he could kill them and earn his freedom. A Reality Disruption Instigator in the room allowed for Voss commandos that had been corrupted by the Curse to come to Kirba's aid against the Commander. However, Kirba was struck down and the Gormak yelled that it refused to die in the labs it had been abandoned in, promising the Commander that the Curse would be their end.[2]
