"A small-time gang of thieves, the Cobral."
Yondalla, to a spacer[5]

The Neo-Cobral, or Cobral for short, was a criminal organization active on Rori during the Galactic Civil War.

History[]

"Without people like you helping, the Cobrals will eventually come up with some dastardly plan that will have all of Rori under their control."
―A commoner, to a spacer[3]

The organization was established by former members of the Cobral, a group of smugglers and black market dealers founded by the Cobral family who took over the planetary government of the planet Frego,[1] in the Core Worlds,[6] during the last decades of the Old Republic. The Cobrals lost control over Frego when one of the children of the family, Solan Cobral, killed his brother Rutin to ensure his place as head of the family.[4] After the Cobrals leaders were imprisoned, some of its members relocated to Naboo's moon of Rori which became their base of operations.[1] Their objective was the domination of the moon.[3] In addition to criminal activities, the Cobral tried desperately to get their former leaders out of prison.[1]

By the time of the Battle of Yavin, the Neo-Cobrals were based in a bunker located a short distance of the city of Restuss and were led by an individual known as the Cobral Overlord.[3] The Neo-Cobrals were in open conflict with the Restuss Brigade.[7]

In 1 ABY,[8] a commoner in Narmle intended to recruit adventurers to assault the Cobral Hideout and eliminate the Cobral Overlord.[3] The same year, Lieutenant Orden Tarc of the Royal Naboo Security Forces tasked a spacer with interrogating Neo-Cobrals at a small base near Narmle for information about the Aqualish criminal Ponda Baba they but did not know much about him.[9]

  8. According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
