This article is about the smaller base. You may be looking for the Garyn Raider's Bunker headquarters.

The Garyn Raider Base was a bunker located a considerable distance south of the city Narmle, in a mountainous region of Naboo's swamp moon of Rori during the time of the Galactic Civil War. The base was controlled by the Garyn Raiders,[1] a criminal organization founded by ex-Vigos of the Black Sun leader Alexi Garyn.[2] The Garyn Raider base was located a relatively short distance away from a mysterious Jedi shrine. The base was staffed by a number of Raiders known as "shivs," and included a display area consisting of four lightsabers and skulls.[1]

History[]

In 1 ABY,[3] Lieutenant Orden Tarc of the Royal Naboo Security Forces tasked a spacer with investigating a series of cybernetic lab break-ins, including one lab in Narmle. The male Aqualish by the name of Ponda Baba was ultimately implicated in the break-ins. After the spacer investigated the Garyn Raider base, it was concluded that Ponda Baba came to them for assistance, but found his small offer of credits to be laughable.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

The Garyn Raider Base was a location in the 2003 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game Star Wars Galaxies,[1] prior to the game's closure on December 15, 2011.[4] The Garyn Raider Base was added to the game with the release of the "Game Update 12," on August 10, 2009.[5]

  3. 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.
