"Word is that some Imperial captain has hijacked and taken control of a Star Destroyer."

―Hirael Chindiaye, to a spacer^[6]

The retaking of the Blackguard was a mission undertaken by a group of spacers during the Galactic Civil War, sometime after the Battle of Yavin, to retake the Imperial Star Destroyer known as the Blackguard from the traitorous Imperial Captain and self-proclaimed Grand Admiral Andal Sait.

↑ 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.
