Biography

"There is something about performing that people find familiar. Many trust us with secrets that they wouldn't tell their closest friends. I have never been able to understand why, actually."
―Anetia Kah'ryn, to an entertainer[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, Anetia Kah'ryn resided in Mos Eisley and worked as an entertainer at the local cantina.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Kah'ryn was very concerned about criminal and Tusken activity around Mos Eisley. She identified several individuals who might have useful information and were known to frequent the cantinas of Tatooine. Around the same, the Twi'lek started to teach a group of entertainer trainees who had just arrived on Tatooine. Kah'ryn therefore tasked her trainees to establish themselves as performers in the Mos Espa Cantina, in the Anchorhead Tavern and in the Bestine Hotel to get information. Anetia, a performer herself, found that patrons were more willing to divulge information after they have been entertained. The entertainers were very skillful and enjoyed great success among the consumers. Moreover, they convinced three people, Dorn Gestros, Crix Yarrow and Borra Setas, to reveal what they knew about recent criminal and Tusken activity in Mos Eisley. Anetia Kah'ryn later sent the entertainers to a party full of very important people held by Rauk Oenish in Mos Eisley. They discovered that Jabba the Hutt was inciting the Tusken Raiders to attack Mos Eisley in order to pressurize the mayor of Mos Eisley and eventually take control of the city. Anetia Kah'ryn and her trainees revealed their discoveries to Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt.[1] The plot was finally foiled by a group of marksmans led by Purvis Arrison who eliminated the Tusken vanguard unit in Junktown.[3]

  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.
