"I try to avoid town when possible. I like the quiet of the outdoors."

Biography[]

"You think just because I don't choose to live in a city, that I don't have a sense of style?"
―Jareck Arned, to a spacer[2]

By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Jareck Arned lived a solitary life in his isolated valley home in the Thaos Mountains.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] a group of hikers disappeared in the mountains, near Jareck Arned's home. Arned was later interrogated by a spacer working for Commander Talte of the Corellian Security Force. The hermit was compliant and gave permission to search the place.[1] However, the spacer discovered, to the great surprise of Jareck Arned, that some items in the house were tied to several kidnappings. Arned confessed that he bought most of these items from a traveling craftsman. He also explained that he found one of the art pieces in the mountains nearby just one day before. The spacer therefore went to investigate these statements.[2] The spacer eventually discovered that the hikers were captured by the criminals known as the cave-dwellers.[4]

Notes and references[]

  1. 1.00 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.05 1.06 1.07 1.08 1.09 Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Disappearances: A Solitary Life" on Corellia
  2. 2.0 2.1 Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Disappearances: Judgement" on Corellia
  3. 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.
