- "The place has been abandoned for a while now. Last residents where killed by roving Sand People or the Rebels, or the Empire. It all depends on who you talk to. But the place in mine now. I think I can turn it around and be profitable."
- ―Zef Ando, to a spacer
Zef Ando was a male Rodian moisture farmer who lived on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War After the Battle of Yavin, he lived as a squatter in the Lars homestead[1] In 1 ABY,[2] he purchased some reconditioned droids off some Jawas who visited the farm with their sandcrawler. However, the droids malfunctioned, attacked him and planted a bomb on a moisture vaporator. In the meantime, spacers working for Imperial Commander Barrezz as well as Rebel Captain Bastra arrived at the farm since they were both looking for the Jawas. Zef Ando recruited the help of a spacer to stop the droids and disarm the bomb.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Lars' Homestead" on Tatooine
- ↑ 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.
