"Well hello there. Have you come to watch me dance? I'm quite adept."
"I would love to see you dance!"
―Allura and a spacer[1]

Allura was a Human female entertainer who lived on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, she resided in Mos Eisley and used to perform in Chalmun's Cantina.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Allura encountered a spacer in the cantina who was recommended and sent by one of her friend by the name Trehla Keelo. The spacer had just landed on Tatooine and was looking for work. Allura therefore agreed with teaching some of her dance moves.[1]

Behind the scenes

Allura was a non-player character 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.[3]

Allura was added to the game with the release of the "Publish 17," on May 26, 2005.[4] She was part of an introductory questline intended to help new players who spawned on Tatooine right after the completion of the "New Player Tutorial" to chose their "profession."[1] Allura's quest was removed from the game upon the overhaul of the "profession" system with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[4]

  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.
