Blackscale Guard

A member of Blackscale Clan

The Blackscale or Blackscale Clan were the ruling Trandoshan clan on Kashyyyk during the Galactic Civil War. They oversaw the capture of Wookiee slaves, from their compound north of Kachirho and the Avatar Orbital Platform in orbit above the planet. They were led by Lord Cyssc Blackscale and had a long-standing feud with the rival Zssik Clan.

History[]

After the Battle of Yavin, a group of slavers of the Blackscale Clan led by slavemaster Trussk was based in the city of Keren, on the planet Naboo.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Trussk and his slavers captured the Wookiee Arrworr and shipped him to Naboo. Around the same time, the Blackscale Clan was tracking a smuggler known as Cal Handro. Trussk wanted him dead for having smuggled slaves for a rival Trandoshan clan. At some point, a group of spacers attacked Trussk's fortress on Naboo. These adventurers were investigating the disappearance of Cal Handro and suspected the Blackscale Clan to have captured him. A violent fight erupted and most slavers were killed, including slavemaster Trussk.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

The Blackscale Clan appeared in the video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.

Notes and references[]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees — Quest: "Getting closer?"
  2. ↑ 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.
