- "I do enjoy visiting the Adventurers' Guildhall. It's still quite new to Aurilia, but we expect it to thrive and grow in the coming years. Anyone seeking adventure should visit the guildhall from time to time. You shall most assuredly find that which you seek."
- ―Rohak, to a spacer
The Adventurers' Guildhall was a building in the township of Aurilia on the planet Dathomir during the Galactic Civil War. It was built after the reconstruction of the village, following the battle of Aurilia,[2] in 1 ABY.[1] It was a meeting place for spacers seeking adventure.[3]
After the Battle of Yavin, various representatives of several factions, including the Galactic Empire, Alliance to Restore the Republic,[4] and the Lok Revenants, visited the guildhall hoping to hire experienced adventurers and spacers for dangerous missions.[5] These representatives included Hirael Chindiaye, Imperial Major Appleton,[4] Nym's Envoy,[5] and a Corellia University teaching assistant.[6]
Many heroic events that took place all around the galaxy indirectly began at the guildhall, including the Tusken Raider Invasion of Mos Espa, the the thwarted escape of Axkva Min from the Chamber of Banishment, the Battle of Nym's Factory Compound,[7] the capture of the Star Destroyer Blackguard,[8] and the defeat of the Cult of Exar Kun.[9]
Behind the scenes
The Adventurers' Guildhall appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[10] The Adventurers' Guildhall was added to the game along with the revamped city of Aurilia,[2] released with the "Chapter 7" update on November 1, 2007.[11]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 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.
