"We have Aurilian contacts scattered around the galaxy. If you find one, they will be happy to shuttle you back here for a small fee."
Maximillian, to a spacer[1]

Aurilia's Starship Services was the company that managed the spaceport in the hidden township of Aurilia on the planet Dathomir during the Galactic Civil War. It was established after the reconstruction of the village, following the battle of Aurilia,[1] in 1 ABY.[2] Maximillian served as the spaceport travel liaison in Aurilia.[1]

Notes and references

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Location: "Aurilia" on Dathomir
  2. 2.0 2.1 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.
