- "I lost my datapad. I know that it's not especially valuable to anyone else, but it has images that I cannot replace. Please, get it back!"
- ―Deavyn Gils, to a spacer
Deavyn Gils was a male Rodian who lived during the Clone Wars and during the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, he reside onboard Tansarii Point Station, a space station located above Ord Mantell, in the Bright Jewel system.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Deavyn was attacked by malfunctioning droids on the lower level of Tansarii Point Station and lost his precious datapad while running to escape the droids. The datapad was very important for the Rodian since it contained images of people very close to him who died in the Clone Wars. Gils therefore hired a spacer to recover the datapad from the crazy droids. The spacer had to destroy a number of droids in the Droid Repair Center but finally retrieved the datapad and brought it back to a grateful Deavyn Gils.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Quest: "Help Deavyn Gils Find His Datapad" 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.
