Varykino was an island in a lake at the Lake Country of Naboo that housed[1] the Varykino Villa.[5]
In 1 ABY,[6] the Lake Retreat hosted a large Life Day celebration. A group of Wookiees, including Kkatamik, traveled to the island in order to spread the ideals of Life Day.[7]
Behind the scenes[]
The Lake Retreat appeared as a city in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[8] With the release of the "Publish 11.5" on December 14, 2004, the Lake Retreat was the host of the yearly in-game event known as the Wookiee Life Day.[9] The Life Day event was later completely revamped and moved to other cities the subsequent years.[10]
In the novel and film Doctor Zhivago, Varykino is the Uralian countryside estate of the Gromekos, the family with whom the orphaned Yuri Zhivago grew up.

- ↑ 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.
