Biography[]
- "I have a contract from an influential member of the Incom corporation. It seems one of their courier ships was hijacked by some pirates. The pirates were only after general cargo, but they ended up getting much more."
- ―Sarlis Beni, to a spy
After the Battle of Yavin, Sarlis Beni resided in Mos Entha, on the planet Tatooine. During that time, he was part of spy network that also included Kaesii DuPree and the Bothan Lercer Gaia.[1]
In 1 ABY,[3] a marginal Tatooinian gang of pirates hijacked a courier ship belonging to the Incom Corporation. The pirates were only after general cargo but they also stole an encrypted datapad with information about a new product Incom was developing. An influential member of the Incom Corporation therefore contacted Sarlis Beni to retrieve the datapad. Lercer Gaia sent a spy to meet with Sarlis in Mos Entha, upon the recommendation of Kaesii DuPree.[1] Sarlis tasked the spy with going to Mos Taike to confront the pirates. After speaking to to their leader, Eyan McDermitt, the spy learned that he would need to go to the Imperial Oasis to find an Imperial commando by the name Jubai Laetlii who was in possession of the datapad. The spy succeeded in stealing the datapad from Jubai unnoticed and delivered it back to Sarlis. Sarlis Beni eventually returned the datapad to his contact from Incom who confirmed the data and paid the spies for their services.[2]

- ↑ 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.
