- "Beware of dangerous beasts, pirates, confusing mazes and a very large and active volcano."
- ―The Lok Marathon race coordinator, to a pilot
Mount Chaolt was a massive volcano on the planet of Lok.[1] The pirate Nym later renamed the volcano to Adi's Rest to honor his fellow Adi Gallia,[4] the Jedi Master who fought with him during the Trade Federation invasion of Lok.[5]
History[]
- "Yes, there's a great need for liquid filtration supplies throughout the galaxy and the Empire has been trying to corner the market. Fortunately, this volcano produces excellent deposits of one type of coagulant."
- ―Dak Vox, to a spacer
A cave inhabited by a crazy droid engineer during the Galactic Civil War was located in the hearth of the volcano.[2] Contestants of the Lok Marathon had to race through the heights of the volcano.[3]
After the Battle of Yavin, the smuggler Dak Vox had set up camp on the volcano in order to mine rocks containing deposits of raw cationic chemical coagulant.[6] In 1 ABY,[7] an Imperial operative under the orders of Colonel Veers assassinated the Rebel pilot Raphael Mar-Shayal on the slopes of Mount Chaolt.[8] Around the same time, a smuggler shipped contraband to Edwyn who operated on Mount Chaolt.[9]
Behind the scenes[]
The Mount Chaolt was a location 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.[10] The volcano was known both as Mount Chaolt and as Adi's Rest in the game. Mount Chaolt was used in the list of point of interests[1] and during the Lok Marathon[3] while Adi's Rest was only used for the exploration badge awarded to players climbing the volcano.[11]
Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed: Prima Official Game Guide and Star Wars Galaxies: The Total Experience: Prima Official Game Guide identified the volcano "Mount Explosallot". This was corrected in Star Wars Galaxies: The Complete Guide: Prima Official Game Guide.[12]

- ↑ 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.
