The Quorks were a species of sentient, furry, horned humanoids found on the Forest Moon of Endor. They were burly creatures known more for brawn than brains. Nevertheless, they were apt warriors who employed wooden and stone weapons as well as domesticated devil beasts against their foes. The Quorks inhabited Quork City and were ruled by a king. They were sworn enemies of Endor's native Ewoks.

Circa 3 ABY, the Quork King Marlox laid a trap for the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village, who came each year to harvest sacred wood to make hang gliders. The Quorks captured three Ewoks, and the King compelled two of them to construct a glider for him lest their friend be given to a devil beast to eat. However, the Ewoks escaped while the Quorks fought over who would be the first to use the completed flying machine. When Marlox pursued them in his new conveyance, he learned that it had been built to fall apart. The glider collapsed around him, and the Ewoks stole off with the sacred wood.
