- "We have to destroy the Black Sun fighters that have stationed themselves at each before we go for for the Darkveil Eclipse, the main hub."
- ―Dartas Pytin, to a pilot
The Darkveil Eclipse was a space station in the Bright Jewel system during the Galactic Civil War. Located in the Scarlet Dawn quadrant, it was the center of all Black Sun operations in the system. Along with the Dual Moons, the Darkveil Eclipse formed the Salient Trinity, the three Black Sun starfighter bases in the system.[2]
In 1 ABY,[6] the Darkveil Eclipse starfighters were led by Lieutenant Commander Rilis. During the Battle of Tansarii Point Station, the Darkveil Eclipse was attacked by Dartas Pytin's Car'das starfighters. Most of the Black Sun forces were eliminated, including Rilis, ending the Black Sun/Car'das conflict.[2]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Quest: "After the Trinity" on Tansarii Point Station
- ↑ 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.
