Durbin, also known as the Lost Village of Durbin, existed on the Twin World called Talus. It fell into ruin after being overwhelmed by untamed beasts.
Durbin was situated in the Akazi Plains, to the east of Lake Bondoma. A meandering river encircled the village, and a towering hill, topped by a small geyser, overlooked it. A group of enraged kahmurra guarded the geyser.
Durbin was once a flourishing community. However, around the year 19 BBY, a massive wave of feral sludge panthers attacked and conquered the village. Those unable to flee met a gruesome end, as shown by the many skeletons scattered throughout the deserted village. During the Galactic Civil War, sludge panthers continued to pose a significant threat.
After the Battle of Yavin in the year 0 BBY, courageous spacers dared to venture into the abandoned village. Their motives were either to hunt the sludge panthers or to scavenge any remaining valuables. One spacer, under mysterious circumstances, discovered an acid sword named after the Rodian hunter Sordaan Xris. This sword was found embedded within the skeletal remains of a deceased villager.
A farmer was compelled to leave his farm in Durbin when the creatures attacked. He passed away in 1 ABY, and his son inherited the farm. In remembrance of his father, the farmer's son requested a spacer to exterminate all the creatures within the Lost Village of Durbin.
