Biography[]
- "I need to bring in customers and you are the person to do it! Please head onto the stage or into the crowd and dance. With your apparent grace, you should draw up a nice crowd."
- ―Anvar Keyis, to a spacer
Following the Battle of Yavin, Anvar Keyis resided aboard Tansarii Point Station, in the Bright Jewel system. During that time, the man was the manager of the station's cantina. He also was a friend of Mira T'rani, the most renowned entertainer on the station.[1]
In 1 ABY,[3] Anvar Keyis was very concerned about the low attendance in the cantina. Due to troubles on Tansarii Point Station,[2] including a war with the Rak'qua of the neighboring Station Gamma,[4] few people were still patronizing the cantina. Keyis wanted to change this situation and sought for new entertainers in order to perform in the cantina.[2] Around the same time, a spacer arrived on Tansarii Point Station and encountered Mira T'rani. Since the spacer was an entertainer, Mira proposed her to work for Keyis.[1] Anvar was indeed very pleased to greet the spacer and paid her to dance in the cantina. Fortunately, the spacer was very skilled and her performances were very successful, bringing more customers to the cantina.[2] The successful spacer eventually left Anvar Keyis and returned to Mira in order to perform other kinds of work.[5]

Anvar Keyis appeared as a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[6] Anvar Keyis was added to the game as part of the "New Player Tutorial," introduced with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[7] In the game, Anvar Keyis used to wear the same outfit than Imperial Inquisitors.[1]

- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
