The Garyn Raiders was a criminal organization based on Rori before and during the Galactic Civil War.

History[]

The organization was founded by ex-Vigos of Alexi Garyn,[1] the Underlord of the Black Sun,[3] who managed to avoid the destruction of Garyn's organization by the Sith Darth Maul,[1] in 33 BBY.[3] The Garyn Raiders had remained fiercely loyal to their leader over the years and had banded together on Naboo's moon of Rori to base their operations.[1]

During the Galactic Civil War, they mainly directed their operations at Imperial troops in the Naboo system, whom they harassed to avenge their fallen leader.[1] They were also in open conflict with the Restuss Brigade.[4] By the time of the Battle of Yavin, the Garyn Raiders were based in a bunker located a short distance northwest of the city of Narmle.[2]

In 1 ABY,[5] the Aqualish criminal Ponda Baba attempted to recruit some of the Garyn Raiders to supply muscle for break-ins into some of the larger cybernetic labs on Rori and Naboo. However, the amount of money he offered was ridiculous to them and they refused to work for him. The Royal Naboo Security Forces later attacked a base of the Garyn Raiders and forced them to reveal everything they knew about Ponda Baba.[6]

  5. 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.
