- "Now that those muggers have been dealt with, we need to go after their leader, Vaigon Shinn. Go to his hideout, fight your way through his guards, and take him down."

Vaigon Shinn's Hideout was a former Imperial forward base on the planet Tatooine.[2] The bunker was used as a hideout by a Nikto chief mugger named Vaigon Shinn, and his band of cronies. It was located on the southwestern outskirts of Mos Eisley.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt's combat expert Peawp R'dawc tasked a spacer to eliminate Vaigon Shinn in his hideout.[1] A short time later, the thug Sleash went into hiding in Vaigon Shinn's Hideout after the crime boss Faeto placed a death mark on his partner Untas.[4]
Behind the scenes[]
Vaigon Shinn's Hideout was a location in the 2003 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game Star Wars Galaxies,[1] prior to the game's closure on December 15, 2011.[5] Vaigon Shinn's Hideout 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.[6]

- ↑ 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.
