Aa'kuan Champion's Cave

The Aa'kuan Champion's Cave was the headquarters of the Aa'kuans on the planet Talus.

History

"A powerful anarchist has subverted our order of philosophical thinkers and has brainwashed them. They all need to be killed to bring back the balance to all things. Go find them and bring to them the gift of balance - with your blaster."

―An Aa'kuan champion, to a spacer^[2]

The cave was the center of operations for the Aa'kuan on the planet Talus, in the Corellian system.^[1] The Aa'kuans were anarchists who believed they had the right to govern themselves and that no authority had the right to invade other sentients' individual space, specifically, no government.^[3]

By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Aa'kuans on Talus split into two factions.^[2] While the Aa'kuans were mostly non-violent,^[3] the Aa'kuans living in the Aa'kuan Champion's Cave started a bloody crusade against all those who refused to believe their doctrine, initiating a conflict with traditional and pacifist Aa'kuans.^[2] In 1 ABY,^[4] an adept of the True Aa'kuan Order requested a spacer to kill all the bloodthirsty members of the other Aa'kuan community in order to "bring back the balance to all things".^[2]

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.
