- "You will report to Major Harvin Franchels for more on the terrorist situation. He will let you know what you can do to help."
- ―Pooja Naberrie, to a trooper
Harvin Franchels was a Human male and a Major in the Royal Security Force during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] he was the RSF officer in charge of the situation during the terrorist attack in Theed. Even after the initial attack, many terrorists remain in the part of the city that suffered the attack. Major Franchels tasked his agents to eliminate the remaining terrorists, disarm the bombs placed in the streets and deliver medical supplies to use on victims of the terrorist attack. After the situation was fixed, he transferred his agents to RSF Intelligence Sergeant Bragg[3] to investigate the identity of the culprits.[4]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Report to Major Franchels" on Naboo
- ↑ 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.
