The Tyyyn Nebula was a vast cloud in the Kashyyyk system. The gas and dust were unusually thick and dense throughout, making the nebula a natural choice for pirates,[2] such as the Ghrag Mercenaries,[4] preying on unsuspecting freighters. All throughout the Galactic Civil War, the Tyyyn Nebula remained a hotbed of piracy.[2]
In 1 ABY,[5] the Ghrag Mercenaries attacked the civilian medium transports Tereant III and Vue'zae in the Tyyyn Nebula. The vessels were finally rescued by the pilots of the Civilian Protection Guild.[6][7]
Behind the scenes[]
The Tyyyn Nebula appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[8]

- ↑ 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.
