- "During a battle, those Rebels shot his ship down. He's good enough, and lucky enough to have crash-landed instead of blowing up."
- ―Ceth Laike, about the TIE bomber pilot
A minor battle between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire took place on Talus during the Galactic Civil War. The battle costed the Imperials an AT-AT, an AT-ST, and one TIE bomber.[5]
When the TIE bomber was shot down by Rebels, the lucky pilot who piloted the vessel was able to safely crash-land near the battlefield instead of blowing up. The pilot contacted Imperial Officer Ceth Laike to request evacuation but he was assassinated on the spot by a group of Binayre scalawags[7] looking for ship parts to salvage.[8]

The Imperial vs. Rebel Battle was a point of interest in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[5] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[9] This point of interest was added to the game with the update named "Publish 1," released on August 3, 2003.[10]

- ↑ 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.
