- "Did you find the Afarathu Cult lair?"
- ―A Selonian diplomat, to a spacer
The Afarathu Cave was a cave on the planet Corellia, located near the city of Doaba Guerfel. It was inhabited by the Afarathu extremists.
History[]
- "The Afarathu are slime though. You won't be able to enter their cave without a fight."
- ―Lieutenant Velso, to a spacer
The cave served as headquarters for the Afarathu,[1] a Selonian terrorist sect which aimed to drive the Dralls and the Humans from the worlds of the Corellian system.[4] It was used for many years prior to the Battle of Yavin by the vicious Afarathu extremists to stage their strikes against Corellian interests.[1]
Very few knew the location of the cave; the former Follower of Nyax Lock Vlash was one of them.[5] After the Battle of Yavin, a Selonian diplomat in Doaba Guerfel recruited a spacer to fight the Afarathu Selonians at the cave.[2]
In 1 ABY,[6] some Afarathu fought Rebel Alliance forces on Corellia. Imperial Lieutenant Velso later dispatched a spacer to the cave in order to retrieve the ship destruct sequence codes of a Rebel Corellian Corvette possibly stolen by the Afarathu during the skirmish.[3]
The same year, a spacer visited the cave and collected a Fallann hyper-rifle.[7]

- ↑ 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.
