"There's six or eight of them, I think -- local moisture farmers led by a big thug named Sont Toipo. If you stop Toipo, the rest will probably run off."
Kitster Banai, to a spacer[1]

Sont Toipo was a male Aqualish vigilante leader who worked on Drik Bandrik's payroll on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War.

Biography[]

"I don't care whether Kitster's guilty. Drik says he's a troublemaker, and Drik knows best."
―Sont Toipo, to a spacer[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Drik Bandrik, a slaver who became upset at Kitster Banai for his persistent attempts to improve the lives of slaves, framed him in the murder of a moisture farmer named Krin Vel. Sont Toipo was then tasked with organizing an angry mob of farmers to find and kill Kitster. Fortunately for Kitster, a spacer traveling through Mos Espa agreed to help him, and hunt down Sont Toipo. Kitster surmised that the mob would consist of six or eight local moisture farmers, but he pleaded with the spacer to only kill Sont Toipo. Kitster hoped that the rest of the mob would run off after he was killed.[1]

The traveler agreed, and set out to successfully kill Toipo, while making an effort to spare the lives of the farmers. It later turned out that Krin Vel was not murdered at all, but was rather paid by Drik Bandrik to leave Mos Espa long enough for a lynch mob to be formed.[1]

  2. 2.0 2.1 According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
