"Those Strehkforce mercenaries are pretty tough."
Vance Groten, to a spacer[1]

The Strehkforce was a mercenary unit during the Galactic Civil War. They had a camp in the Gallo Mountains, on the planet Naboo.[1]

History[]

"A group of mercenaries from the area, Strehkforce mercenaries. They're commanded by Evan Strehk and Maris Fahrs. Robbery isn't usually their thing, but for some reason they wanted that beacon."
―Vance Groten, to a spacer[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Strehkforce mercenaries went to Dee'ja Peak and stole a Stonewall Labs security beacon from Vance Groten. Spacers who were working with Groten later went to the mercenary camp, in the mountains, to recover it. The spacers attacked the Strehkforce mercenaries and killed their leaders Evan Strehk and Maris Fahrs.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

The Strehkforce appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] The Strehkforce was added to the game as part of the "Legacy Quest" with the release of the "Publish 25", a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[4]

  2. 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.
