- "Citizen, move along. We're transferring precious cargo here. Nothing to be concerned about."
- ―Dreryn, to a spacer
Dreryn was a Arcona officer who lived during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, Dreryn worked on Tansarii Point Station, a space station near the planet Ord Mantell, in the Bright Jewel system.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] he secretly supervised the transport of a valuable shipment,[1] likely a cargo stolen from an Imperial ship in transit to Coruscant.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Dreryn appeared as a non-player character 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.[4] Dreryn was added to the game as part of the "New Player Tutorial,"[1] introduced with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[5] Unused game files indicated that Officer Dreryn was intended to be involved in one of Rydel Delan's cut quests.[6]

Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit — Conversation with "Officer Dreryn" on Tansarii Point Station
- ↑ 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.
