The A.C.L.O. office was located on the Twin World of Talus, in the Corellian system. It was constructed in the Akazi Plains just east of the large city of Dearic. The building server as the headquarters of the Aggregate Civil Liberties Organization,[1] a political group and medical supply company affiliated with the Rebel Alliance in the Galactic Civil War against the Galactic Empire.[3] In addition to their main office building, their property included a closely constructed shuttleport. In addition to other personnel who staffed the A.C.L.O. offices, several slicers worked in the buildings. The A.C.L.O. offices and the surrounding area were patrolled by A.C.L.O. soldiers.[1]

History

"Since you are going to be there, I want you to contact a covert operative we have inside the office."
―Galiir Ac Yandar, to a spacer[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, the Aggregate Civil Liberties Organization was in conflict with the Nightstrike Soldier Hegemony, a Talusian mercenary organization affiliated with the Empire.[4] At some point, the N.S.H. managed to infiltrate a spy, Mark Hieks, in the A.C.L.O. office.[5]

In 1 ABY,[6] the N.S.H. was negotiating its integration into the Imperial Military. However, the negotiations were disturbed when A.C.L.O. slicers planted information that almost ruined the reputation of the N.S.H. commander, Galiir Ac Yandar. In retaliation, Imperial Colonel Ekirk dispatched a spacer to raid the A.C.L.O. office.[1] The spacer was recommended by CorSec officer Dathnaeya Loessin who wanted to determine what kind of people the Rebellion had chosen to work with.[3] The spacer attacked the building and slained A.C.L.O. terrorists who sabotaged Imperial shipments. The Imperial agent also investigated the A.C.L.O. slicers and finally discovered that Leeta Poandeu was the slicer who was responsible for slicing Yandar's system. The spacer then killed the woman in the central computer control room of the building.[1] Meanwhile, the N.S.H. spy Mark Hieks attempted to place sliceware monitoring components on several A.C.L.O. computers but he was almost got caught and had to injure himself to shift the focus away from what he was doing. The spacer thus placed monitoring devices on the A.C.L.O's medical computer, personal computer, operations computer, and equipment manifest computer, achieving successfully Hieks' mission.[5]

Behind the scenes

  6. ↑ 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.
