"I heard that the graveyard is littered with their pearls, each one worth a fortune. I'll find one for you."
"Don't be stupid. Not only is there no graveyard, there's no such thing as a krayt or a pearl. All that you'll find out there are some giant sand beetles that will be more than happy to make a meal out of you."
―Patrons in a Tatooine cantina[2]

The Krayt Graveyard was a valley on Tatooine. It was where many krayt dragons went to die. The bones of hundreds of these creatures littered the valley floor. When an aged krayt sensed death approaching, it instinctively began the arduous journey to this resting place.[1] Tatooine settlers long wondered where these creatures went to die. Due to the extreme danger associated with the dragons, not many were overeager to find out. However, a few brave adventurers did search for the graveyard, hoping to find a fabled dragon pearl. None were known to have returned.[3]

After the Battle of Yavin, the scientists Dusque Mistflier and Tendau Nandon explored the graveyard during the Galactic Civil War and managed to find a krayt dragon egg.[2] In 1 ABY,[4] a Force Adept explored the area and collected an ancient Force relic for Loisya Starkos.[5] Later, a spacer visited the graveyard and collected a Tchotchee pistol.[6]

Notes and references[]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Point of Interest: "Krayt Graveyard" on Tatooine

  4. ↑ 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.
