Kilth Saanu was a female Zabrak criminal who lived on the planet Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. She was the leader of the gang of swoopers known as the Desert Banshees. After the Battle of Yavin, Saanu and the Desert Banshees proposed to join Jabba the Hutt's criminal organization. The swoopers were thus assigned to various missions so Jabba could evaluate whether they were worthy of joining his organization. This situation was later discovered by Lady Valarian, the leader of the Valarian Syndicate and main rival of Jabba.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] Lady Valarian therefore tasked a spacer with eliminating the Desert Banshees. The spacer eventually found Kilth Saanu and four of his thugs near Mos Eisley and killed them all in the ensuring firefight.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Possible depiction of Kilth Saanu
Kilth Saanu was a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Kilth Saanu was present in the original release of the game, being part of Lady Valarian's Quest Series.[2]
Because Kilth Saanu spawned under the generic "bodyguard_zabrak_female" template, her appearance was randomized under one of four possible depictions and would fluctuate after each server reset. Nevertheless, she systematically appeared as a Zabrak female.[2]
With the release of the "Publish 23" on August 31, 2005, Lady Valarian's Quest Series was deactivated and Kilth Saanu was consequently removed from the game.[4]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 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.
