Biography[]

"What are you waiting around for! The Tuskens are forming to the north to attack again! We are all going to die! Save us!"
―FA-2PO, to a spacer[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] the Jawas of Sand Crawler 345 acquired a cargo that arrived on Tatooine from Tansarii Point Station. The sandcrawler visited Tosche Station, near Anchorhead, to sell stuff to the warehouse manager Janus.[3] It then visited Zef Ando at the Lars homestead.[4] After leaving the farm, Sand Crawler 345 was attacked by Tusken Raiders in the Western Dune Sea and destroyed. Some Jawas and the FA-2PO managed to escape and took refuge nearby.[1] As the cargo from Tansarii Point Station interested both Imperial Commander Barrezz and Rebel Captain Bastra,[3] spacers were looking for the sandcrawler when it was attacked. The spacers received FA-2PO's emergency call and headed to the survivors of Sand Crawler 345. The spacers attacked the Tusken Raiders and rescued FA-2PO and the Jawas.[1]

Notes and references[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Jawa Tracks" on Tatooine
  2. 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.
