Alduq Besene

"I work for Jabba the Hutt. He's the major power here, no matter what the unimportant politicians around here say. He's a good benefactor to have on your side."
―Alduq Besene, to a trader[1]

Alduq Besene was a male Human who lived in Mos Eisley on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. He worked as an artisan for Jabba the Hutt and was always looking for new talent.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] he paid a spacer to create a number of tools, to test the spacer's ability.[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.
