Biography[]
- "He brought me my meds. Thanks for not killing Akers. Sometimes I can't think right."
- ―Vermon Skeetz, to a spacer
By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Akers Radch was captured by the Corellian slavers and enslaved in the Corellian Slaver Bunker near Tyrena. During his captivity, he befriended with Vermon Skeetz, a mentally sick man who managed to be fine as long as he took his medication.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Vermon Skeetz escaped the bunker with a group of slaves led by Kyran Silene but he lost his medicine during the escape.[1] A spacer later infiltrated the bunker to find evidence of the slaver operations for the Corellian Security Force.[3] The spacer met Akers Radch and explained that Vermon was experiencing a psychotic episode, ordering to assassinate Akers. Nevertheless, Radch agreed to help the spacer to retrieve Vermon's medicine.[1] The spacer eventually broadcasted the slavers' records on the CorSec emergency request channels,[3] leading dozens of CorSec agents to quickly move to the slaver bunker and free all the slaves.[4] After he escapaded the bunker, Akers brought the medicine to Vermon who quickly recovered from his crisis and apologized for his aggressive behavior.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit — Legacy Quest: "Petty Resolve" on Corellia
- ↑ According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
