- "Check the old war bunker on the beach near the city. I've heard it has been overrun by Skaak Tippers, so be prepared for anything. Examine anything of interest you find in the bunker."
- ―Wilson Tchorshel, to a spacer
An old war bunker was situated along a beach a short distance northeast of the city of Kaadara on the Mid Rim world of Naboo. During the days of the Galactic Republic, the Royal Naboo Security Forces used the bunker as a research facility to learn more about Trade Federation droids. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, the bunker was overrun by a criminal organization known as the Skaak Tippers.[1]
History[]
The interior of the old war bunker
The old war bunker began was originally a research facility for the Royal Naboo Security Forces to learn more about the Trade Federation droids in the days leading up to the Battle of Naboo.[1]
Later, during the time of the Galactic Civil War following 0 BBY, the bunker had become overrun by a criminal organization known as the Skaak Tippers.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Rebel Alliance Special Agent and Imperial Lieutenant Maximilian Vox suggested that spacers investigate the bunker to find information about Old Republic experimental droid artificial intelligence. In doing so, a spacer discovered a mysterious computer inscribed with barely legible text reading "Willoc," who was actually a sergeant of the Royal Naboo Security Forces. When the spacer used the computer, Colonel Quarsh Panaka urged the spacer to see him in Kaadara, as it had been over a week since he had last heard from him.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The old war bunker 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.[3] The old war bunker 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]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "The Tip-off" on Naboo
- ↑ 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.
