Kelson Sharphorn was a male Devaronian who lived during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, he was part of a group of slicers that was based in a building not far from Nym's Stronghold, on the planet Lok. The group also included Skaelor Tay and Byd Chillings. Sharphorn was armed with a FWG5 pistol.[1]
In 1 ABY,[3] he narrowly escaped potential injuries or death when the Corellian technology-hating Meatlump terrorists planted an explosive device in the slicers' house. A spacer who had infiltrated the Meatlump gang found the bomb in time and defused it.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
Kelson Sharphorn was a non-player character (NPC) 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.[5]
Kelson Sharphorn and the Lok slicers were added to the game with the update dubbed "Chapter 10: The Search for the Meatlump King," released on June 19, 2008.[6] Kelson Sharphorn and other slicer NPCs were not part of any quest but they were indirectly involved in the so-called "Meatlumps Theme Park". In the basement of the Slicer House, there was a bomb that the player had to defuse as part of the quest "Muddle the Meatlumps." While there were several slicer NPC enemies in the house, none of them had to be killed for the mission.[4] "Chronicle Relics" could be looted from them. Such relics could be used by players in the Chronicle Quest system to create their own quests for other players. By using the relics related to the slicer NPCs, the quests would task the player with killing Kelson Sharphorn or other slicers in the house.[7] Sharphorn was a Level 56 Gold Elite NPC, which meant that he was considerably stronger and harder to kill than normal NPCs at this level.[1]

Notes and references[]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Chronicle Relics: "Kill Kelson Sharphorn"
- ↑ Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Chronicle Relic: "Go to the Slicer House"
- ↑ 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.
