- "Hastily squashed rumor has it that the Sulfur Lake Pirates captured a particularly repulsive creature native to Lok and have taken to referring to it as 'Nym's Girlfriend'!"
- ―Grenz Zittoun
Nym's Girlfriend was a female pharple native to the planet Lok that lived during the Galactic Civil War. It was named after the leader of the Lok Revenants Nym by a rival group, the Sulfur Lake Pirates. The beast was captured and tamed by the Sulfur Lake Pirates after the Battle of Yavin and kept in their hideout on Lok. The pirates named the flightless bird after the leader of their enemies as a means by which to humiliate him. As such, an underling of Nym's named Grenz Zittoun tasked a spacer to kill the embarrassing creature.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the Lok Revenants raided the Sulfur Lake Pirate Hideout in order to retrieve the memory module of an Imperial droid.[3] During the assault, a spacer attacked and killed the pharple so that it could no longer serve as a derisive symbol.[1]
Behind the scenes[]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Quest: "Embarrassing Breakup" on Lok
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 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.
