- "I've got a friend you might be interested in talking to, name's Gendra. Go by and say hi to him."
- ―Han Solo, to a spacer
Gendra was a male Quarren who lived on the planet Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, he resided in Mos Eisley.[1] He was a friend of Chalmun, the owner of the Spaceport Cantina, and his employees Muna Skish and Lurval.[2] He was also acquainted with Trehla Keelo.[3] Gendra was usually friendly with newcomers in Mos Eisley, particularly those not interested in combat and violence.[1] In 1 ABY,[4] Gendra accepted to help a group of spacers who arrived in Mos Eisley with Han Solo from Tansarii Point Station.[1] The arrival of these spacers was in fact a good opportunity for Gendra to help Chalmun.[2][5] One of the spacer, a trader, was a skilled crafter who was eager to prepare meat jerky and spiced tea for the customers of the cantina and also crafted new glassware.[2] Another spacer, an entertainer, agreed with performing in the cantina, dancing and playing music for the patrons who where delighted by the shows.[5] Gendra was very pleased of the help provided by the spacers.[2][5] The Quarren even offered a XP-38 landspeeder to one of them.[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.
