Biography[]
- "There's a great need for liquid filtration supplies throughout the galaxy and the Empire has been trying to corner the market. Fortunately, this volcano produces excellent deposits of one type of coagulant."
- ―Dak Vox, to a spacer
After the Battle of Yavin, Dak Vox had set up camp on the volcano Mount Chaolt, on the planet Lok. There, the smuggler collected chemicals generated by the volcano in order to produce valuable cationic chemical coagulant that could be sold on the black market.[1]
In 1 ABY,[3] a spacer working for the warlord Nym and his Lok Revenants traveled from the city known as Nym's Stronghold to Mount Chaolt in order to obtain cationic chemical coagulant from Dak Vox. The chemicals were requested by the water treatment technician Phor Cl-lan in order to repair the water treatment facility of the city. The spacer was sent to the volcano by Ralia Reeven, Nym's quartermaster, who was aware of Vox's business. As he owed Nym a favor, the smuggler could not refuse to provide chemicals. However, he asked the spacer to help him collect raw chemicals in exchange for the cationic chemical coagulant. The adventurer accepted the trade and then gathered chemicals on the slopes of the volcano.[1] The spacer eventually returned to Nym's Stronghold with the cationic chemical coagulant that was used to resupply the mixing chamber of the water filtration system.[4]

- ↑ 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.
