A female individual member of the Rebel Alliance served as a Rebel contact on Corellia during the Galactic Civil War.
Biography[]
After the Battle of Yavin, this Rebel agent was based in Coronet, on the planet Corellia.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] during the Empire Day festivities, she was in a cantina in the city of Coronet when she met a group of Rebel spacers, sent to help her by a bartender from Anchorhead on Tatooine. Hence, she had an important mission for this Rebel, which involved acquiring a historical disk which she needed for a report she was writing. The Rebel had the choice to either slay a number of Imperial foes for the disk, or meet up with a commoner in the Moenia cantina. Ultimately, the spacers acquired the disk. The Rebel contact then sent the Rebel spacers to meet up with a Rebel spy named Tellulon on Yavin 4.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Possible depictions of the Rebel contact
The Rebel contact appeared as a non-player character 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 Rebel contact was added to the game upon the release of the "Publish 19," on June 29, 2005.[4]
During the 2005 Empire Day live event from June 29 to July 11, 2005,[5] she could be found in Coronet and was part of a quest titled "Empire Day Revealed," which would send players on an important mission throughout the galaxy.[1] After the live event ended, the Rebel contact never reappeared in the game, since the Empire Day event was discontinued until its complete overhaul in 2008.[6]
Since the Rebel contact spawned under the generic "rebel_scout_female" template utilizing three different Interchange File Formats, her appearance was randomized under one of three possible depictions and would fluctuate after each server reset. Nevertheless, the Rebel contact systematically appeared as a female.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees — Rebel Quest: "Empire Day Revealed" on Tatooine
- ↑ 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.
