The Annual CorSec Awards Ball was a ball held each year for officers of the Corellian Security Force and their romantic partners. Traditionally, a pool was held in which male CorSec officers contributed money for a raffle to "win" a date with a volunteer female officer with the proceeds going to the Survivors and Orphans Fund. This was originally arranged so that the daughter of the then current chief of CorSec would have an escort to the ball without the men being concerned about the possible career consequences of asking her out.
In 4 ABY, a female Selonian named Chertyl Ruluwoor entered CorSec as part of a transfer program and volunteered to be the "prize" at that year's ball. Corran Horn rigged the raffle so that he would win the date. At the time, Corran was the only single man on the force and, in a depressed state over his father's recent death, decided that none of the married officers would be denied spending the evening with their loved ones.
He went all out to make her evening special, even flying halfway across the planet to buy her favourite flowers from the only shop on the world that had them. During the evening the two hit it off and shared a brief but passionate romance. However, their relationship was complicated by both different long term relationship goals and incomparable body chemistry, which left both with uncomfortable rashes. They parted amicably and remained good friends.
