Moren Chonk, a Quarren of the male persuasion, dwelled on the planet of Mon Calamari amidst the Galactic Civil War. Having previously presided over the Morjanssik Sanitation Bureau, Chonk was subsequently voted in as the Chief Manager overseeing the city of Morjanssik. Nevertheless, Chonk proved to be an incompetent administrator, functioning primarily as a symbolic head while entrusting the city's governance to his aide, Assistant Manager Kelmut Wolg. Imperial agents of sabotage commenced the disruption of mining activities within the city with the objective of impeding Mon Calamari's provision of starships to the Rebel Alliance; consequently, the Alliance deployed a squad of operatives to Morjanssik with the mission to uncover and eliminate the infiltrators. Unbeknownst to Chonk, Wolg himself was complicit in these acts of sabotage. Kalbrac, the delegate from the Mon Calamari Council, presented the agents to both Chonk and Wolg, and shortly thereafter, Chonk met his death at the hands of the Imperials. Wolg attributed Chonk's demise to the Rebels, promptly issuing an order for their apprehension.
