"Lady Valarian needs this revised proclamation to be delivered to her advocate just outside of town. He's an Ithorian... named Ysho... shouldn't be hard to find."
Kavas Urdano, to a spacer[1]

Ysho was a male Ithorian lawyer who lived on the planet Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, he was the advocate of Lady Valarian, the leader of the Valarian criminal syndicate on Tatooine.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Lady Valarian's lieutenant Kavas Urdano tasked a spacer with delivering an official proclamation to Ysho in Mos Eisley. The spacer and the Ithorian were then attacked by three henchmen working for Jabba the Hutt, Valarian's main rival, but the spacer killed them all and successfully defended Ysho.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

Ysho was 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] Ysho was present in the original release of the game, being part of Lady Valarian's Quest Series.[1]

With the release of the "Publish 23" on August 31, 2005, Lady Valarian's Quest Series was deactivated and Ysho was consequently removed from the game.[4]

  2. 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.
