- "Our union members might ordinarily use their vacation time to do their bit for freedom on Corellia and in the galaxy, but that's out because our union takes no position on the Galactic Civil War. So we pick berries instead."
- ―Corellian Shipbuilders Union Local 44908
The hsuaberry was a fruit that grew in the wilderness of Corellia.[1]
In 1 ABY,[2] a member of the Corellian Shipbuilders Union was attacked by Imperial troops on Corellia because he wandered too close to an Imperial outpost while picking hsuaberries. The worker took shelter in an animal den to lose the pursuit and successfully escaped. The Corellian Shipbuilders Union Local 44908 later realized that the den would make a nice base for berry-picking activities and recruited a group of spacers to drive out the animals.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Hsuaberries were mentioned in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Hsuaberries were mentioned in a mission called "Lair Suitable For Berry-Picking" available on mission terminals on Corellia.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Terminal Mission: "Lair Suitable For Berry-Picking" 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.
