- "Well done, pilot! Amazing work. You completely destroyed the Dual Moons."
- ―Dartas Pytin, to a pilot
The Dual Moons were a pair of similar space stations in the Bright Jewel system during the time of the Galactic Civil War.[1] They resembled those used by the Trade Federation or miners.[4] The Dual Moons were located in the Scarlet Dawn quadrant, the heart of Black Sun operations in the Bright Jewel system. Along with the Darkveil Eclipse, they formed the Salient Trinity, the three Black Sun starfighter bases in the system.[1]
In 1 ABY,[5] the Dual Moons starfighters were led by Lieutenant Commanders Chaen and Ondara. During the Battle of Tansarii Point Station, the Dual Moons served as the first line of defense for the Darkveil Eclipse and were attacked by Dartas Pytin's Car'das starfighters. Most of the Black Sun forces were eliminated, including Chaen and Ondara.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Dual Moons appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts, prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[6]

- ↑ 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.
