- " There's a serious medical situation on Naboo. A family that is living in the relative wilderness of Naboo has been attacked by a number of feral creatures. Several of the family members need tending."
- ―Billingsly, to a medic
The Zaprin Estate was the home of the Zaprin family on the planet Naboo during the Galactic Civil War.
Description[]
Larence Zaprin in the main room.
The Zaprin Estate was built at the foot of the Gallo Mountains, near the edge of the Lianorm Swamp, many kilometers southeast of the Lake Retreat.[1]
It was a two-story building of typical Nabooian design. Through a small foyer, one entered the house's main room. Stairs led up to the second floor where a gallery supported by pillars circled the room. The walls were decorated with various paintings showing landscapes of Tatooine and other planets. One door in the main room led to an adjoining smaller room, while the other door led to the stairs to Mia's room in the basement. The room on the second floor was occupied by Jowres.[1]
Another nearby building was the Mountain poacher bunker.[2]
History[]
- "My son Jowres and daughter Mia were attacked by those beasts outside. Both of them are sick and need medical attention!"
- ―Larence Zaprin, to a medic
In 1 ABY,[3] a group of sick narglatches and motts surrounded the Zaprin's home. The siblings Mia and Jowres were attacked when they left the house and became seriously ill. After an urgent call for help by their father Larence, a medic sent by the 2-1B droid Billingsly traveled to the Zaprin Estate to help the siblings. The medic killed several of the feral creatures surrounding the house to extract blood samples and create an anti-toxin that cured the siblings.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Zaprin Estate was a location 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.[4] The Zaprin Estate was added to the game upon the release of the "Publish 25", a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[5]
The Zaprin Estate could be found near the mountains south-east of the Lake Retreat. Players of the Medic profession were sent to this location during the quest "House Call."[1] The building was of a typical style of houses called "Medium Naboo House" which were used all over the planets Naboo and Rori in Star Wars Galaxies. It was also available to players, who could use such buildings as their own virtual homes.[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.
