Chornarov, a Human male governor on the planet Cademimu V, was a figure of corruption during the Cold War era, which was a period of tension between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire. Following their loss in the Separatist War on Ord Mantell, he provided refuge to the Mantellian Separatist Movement. Together with General Ortol, he endeavored to take over Cademimu, proclaiming the planet's sovereignty; however, he was ultimately overthrown and lost his position in the Battle of Cademimu V.
