- "Go to the ranch where Hunnos Jarkey is hiding, and bring him to justice!"
- ―Lieutenant Khartoor, to a spacer
Hunnos Jarkey's Ranch was a ranch located near the city of Theed, on the planet Naboo during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the wanted murderer Hunnos Jarkey lived secretly in the ranch after he escaped the Royal Naboo Security Forces. For his protection, he recruited a small army of Naboo pirates and fortified the area. Nevertheless, Hunnos Jarkey and all pirates were killed during a RSF assault.[1]

- ↑ 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.
