- "The Deftoi of Muntro VI in the Outer Rim are staging their decennial Otherworld Arts Festival. A new composition in their quasi-operatic ceremonial artform, which their formal request translates roughly as "highmind stagecraft," dramatizes a bloody period in Naboo's history before the Great Time of Peace."
- ―An announcement from the Office of the Music Advisor of Naboo
The Deftoi were individuals that inhabited the world Muntro VI, in the Outer Rim Territories.[1]
Every ten years, the Deftoi of Muntro VI organized their famous Otherworld Arts Festival.[1] For the 1 ABY[2] edition of the festival, the Deftoi requested the Office of the Music Advisor of Naboo to provide carcasses of Naboo animals in order to hold a performance depicting the events of the Time of Suffering of Naboo.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Deftoi were first mentioned in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] The game did no clearly establish whether Deftoi referred to a title or a species.[1]

- ↑ According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
