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: The Total Experience — Rebel Quest: "Empire Day Revealed" on Tatooine
- ↑ 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.
