- "We... we had a datapad. Oniruko tried to slice it, but it had some kind of active protection on it. Next thing we know Oni gets shocked, starts foaming at the mouth and convulsing. We weren't able to get her to the medical center in time."
- ―Eyan McDermitt, to a spy
Oniruko was a female pirate and slicer who lived on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, Oniruko was part of a pirate gang led by Eyan McDermitt.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] the gang hijacked a courier ship belonging to the Incom Corporation. The pirates were only after general cargo but they also stole an encrypted datapad with sensitive information.[3] Oniruko attempted to slice but she was severely shocked by the storage device's protection system, starting foaming at the mouth and convulsing. Unfortunately, her pirate fellows were not able to get her to the medical center in time. Since he did not succeed in obtaining the data, Eyan McDermitt later accepted to sell the datapad to an Imperial commando named Jubai Laetlii. The datapad was eventually retrieved by a spy working for Sarlis Beni and returned to Incom Corporation.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 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.
