"To keep droids disciplined I need escaped droids destroyed before they exit system."
EV-9D9[2]

LIN-34 was a droid that operated during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, LIN-34 served Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire on Tatooine under Jabba's sadistic EV-series supervisor droid EV-9D9. In 1 ABY,[1] BD-34 and three other droids, R3-B57, RA-316 and BD-34, escaped Jabba's Palace. EV-9D9 thus hired a spacer to track down the droids. Jabba's enemies of the Ay'Nat pirates assigned an AEG-77 Vigo yacht and an escort of X-wing starfighters to exfiltrate LIN-34 out of the Tatooine system. However, the yacht transporting LIN-34 was destroyed by Jabba's pilots, along with its escort.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

LIN-34 was mentioned 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] LIN-34 was added to the game as part of the "Legacy Quest" with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[4]

Notes and references[]

  1. 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.
