Biography[]
Daw Sembian was the father of Vil Sembian. He was also a famous weaponsmith who created a schematic for a new type of blaster which could tip the scales in the Galactic Civil War. Daw died some time prior to the Battle of Yavin, but left the schematics for the blaster to his son.[2] In 1 ABY,[3] Vil Sembian headed to Anchorhead on Tatooine to deliver the schematics to his friend, a Rebel captain named Nitra Vendallan.[2]
However, the Empire was on his tail, so Nitra Vendallan sent a Rebel spacer to find Vil and bring him back safely to town. Despite facing resistance from Imperial forces, the spacer succeeded in escorting Vil. Vendallan was pleased, and saw to it that the schematics made it to Alliance High Command.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Daw Sembian was a character briefly mentioned in the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies. Players who performed a series of quests for Nitra Vendallan in Anchorhead learned that Daw Sembian was a famous weaponsmith who created the schematics for a new type of blaster.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ On the the United States and European servers of Star Wars Galaxies, Daw Sembian's son, Vil Sembian, consistently spawned as a Twi'lek. As a result, Daw's species can be inferred.

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Static Quest: "Nitra Vendallan" on Tatooine
- ↑ 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.
