Spotchka was a beverage that could be created from the creatures known as krill. It could be found on Sorgan, brewed by the resident farmers of an isolated farming village. Klatooinian raiders who often attacked the village stole the krill from the farmers, brewing their own spotchka.[2]
History[]
A village on the planet Sorgan farmed krill to use in brewing spotchka. However, in 5 ABY,[4] Klatooinian raiders began attacking the village and stealing krill. With the krill they brewed their own spotchka at their outpost. The village therefore hired the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and former shock trooper Carasynthia Dune to help stop the raider's attacks. One night, the pair infiltrated the Klatooinian outpost and attacked one of the raiders while they drank spotchka. As they fought more raiders, another was drowned in a vat of spotchka.[2]
The cantina in Mos Pelgo on Tatooine, operated by a Weequay bartender, served spotchka, which Cobb Vanth ordered for him and Din Djarin during the latter's search for other Mandalorians.[5]
Following the rescue of Djarin's foundling, Grogu, from Gideon's Imperial remnant, the elite assassin Fennec Shand drank from a bottle of spotchka after she and the bounty hunter Boba Fett seized control of Jabba's Palace from Bib Fortuna.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Spotchka first appeared in Chapter 4 of Jon Favreau's 2019 Disney+ television series The Mandalorian,[2] which aired on November 29, 2019.[6]

Therefore, it can be deduced with simple math that the events of The Mandalorian take place around 9 ABY.
