"I recommend you head back to Hershel's place. Re-examine whatever you find there."
Lieutenant Cope, to a spacer[2]

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]

  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.
