- "It's not that I don't appreciate the beauty of the Agrilat Swamp. Boiling showers and razor-sharp grass are a joy to experience. But when the swamp's larger wildlife chooses to wander into more civilized areas, I've got to draw the line. The farmers in the area are getting worried."
- ―Moss Shelby
Moss Shelby was an officer of the Corellian Security Force who lived on Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, he was a lieutenant in CorSec Regiment Twelve.[1] When, in 1 ABY,[2] large creatures from the Agrilat Swamp wandered into more civilized areas of Corellia and local farmers began to get worried, they asked Shelby for help. As Shelby did not want to waste CorSec resources on this, the lieutenant hired a group of spacers to do the job.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Terminal Mission: "Large Creatures on the Move" on Corellia
- ↑ 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.
