Biography[]
- "There is an Imperial Research Facility being operated primarily by mercenaries."
- ―Mako Ghast, to a spacer
After the Battle of Yavin, Platt Pareja and his group of mercenaries were recruited by the Galactic Empire to ensure the security of a secret Imperial research facility on the planet Lok.[2] Because of a feud between General Otto, the commander of the Imperial garrison on Lok, and Imperial officers in charge of research facility, these officers deployed mercenaries and battle droids to guard the facility instead of requisitioning Otto's troops.[3] The mercenaries were led by Udo Barnet and Kell Lapaz.[4] However, the work at the Imperial Research Facility was quite boring for the mercenaries and some of them including Kendo Ryzak, Platt Pareja, Goll Bardok and Jeran Tarven, found themselves involved in illegal activities. As they frequently meddled in the affairs of the Lok Revenants, the most powerful criminal organization on Lok, they provoked the ire of their leader: the warlord Nym.[2]
In 1 ABY,[1] Nym and his lieutenant Kole decided to raid the Imperial research facility to steal the weapons developed there.[5] As the criminals were planning their operation, Mako Ghast, another lieutenant of Nym, realized that the attack on the facility could be an unique opportunity to get rid of some annoying mercenaries.[2] A group of spacers affiliated with the Lok Revenants then assaulted the research facility. They had to fight numerous mercenaries to get access to the research complex but they finally retrieved experimental weapons and research data.[5] During the battle, a group of Revenants attacked Kendo Ryzak, Platt Pareja, Goll Bardok and Jeran Tarven and killed them in the ensuring firefight.[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.
