Hershel Sheridan's house was a residential building in the city of Kor Vella on Corellia at the time of the Galactic Civil War.[1]
History[]
The house stood near the city's starport at the foot of the Kor Vella mesa. It was a one-storied building with only three small rooms connected by a hallway.[1] The politician Hershel Sheridan lived here until he was murdered by the Chirq Council.[2] In 1 ABY,[3] an adventurer working for CorSec officer Lon Cope as an independent agent entered the house and found the corpse of Hershel Sheridan who had been shot by the Chirq Council.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Hershel Sheridan's house appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] Hershel Sheridan's house was added to the game with the update named "Chapter 1: The Corellian Captives," published on June 8, 2006.[5] It can be found near the starport in Kor Vella on Corellia.[1] The player has to enter this house twice to examine Sheridan's corpse during the quests "CorSec Case Files: The Lucky Mayor" and "CorSec Case Files: The Unlucky Mayor," which are part of the Legacy quest, the longest quest line in the game.[1][2]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "CorSec Case Files: The Lucky Mayor" on Corellia

- ↑ 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.
