"There is an abandoned Wookiee village to the north. They all end up there when the madness settles in. I do not know what the draw of this place is."
―Sera Jossi, to a spacer[1]

An abandoned Wookiee village was located on the planet of Kashyyyk, at a short distance north of Kachirho. By the time of the Galactic Civil War, this village was already abandoned for a long time. However, sometime after the Battle of Yavin, Wookiees afflicted by a strange new disease gathered in the village. The illness gave rise to a madness which compelled the anguished Wookiees to attack anyone who approached them. As these Wookiees became dangerous, the Galactic Empire issued bounties, via bounty officer Stren Colo, for the crazy Wookiees. Various adventurers therefore attacked the village to kill insane Wookiees and claim the Imperial bounties.[1] Eventually, in 1 ABY,[2] a spacer working for a woman named Sera Jossi visited the village and killed the Wookiee Wrhisch, one of the first to come under the sickness. Wrhisch's liver later allowed a Wookiee bio-engineer, Doctor Cheyerooto, to develop a cure.[3]

Behind the scenes

The abandoned Wookiee village appeared 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 village was added to the game with the release of the expansion pack Rage of the Wookiees on May 5, 2005.[1]

  2. ↑ 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.
