A shuttle arriving at the outpost
The Science Outpost, also known as the Research Outpost, was a spaceport on Dathomir during the Galactic Civil War.
After the Battle of Yavin, Shaki Hamachil was the administrator of the facility while Shibb Nisshil worked as the Chief Scientist.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the Meatlumps, a gang of fanatical technology-hating criminals and terrorists from Corellia, placed a bomb in the Science Outpost. Fortunately, a spacer who had infiltrated the group discovered the plot and defused the bomb before it could explode.[3]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided
- ↑ 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.
