Aztin Maru

"I'd like to know what the new talent is capable of handling…whether you're a bounty hunter or not. After all, I may have to hunt you some day. So with that in mind, I'm going to throw three bounties your way. I've already done the hard part and tracked them to this bunker. See if you can handle the rest."
―Boba Fett, to a spacer, regarding Aztin Maru[2]

Aztin Maru was a Human male who lived on Naboo's moon of Rori during the time of the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, Maru was part of Vladlun's gang, a minor criminal group led by Vladlun Travan.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] Dabrini and two other associates of Travan, Titus Dabrini and Tiaba Charr, had earned a death mark. The bounty hunter Boba Fett therefore traveled to Rori in order to collect the bounties for the three criminals. However, after tracking them to Vladlun Travan's Hideout, Fett decided to let a spacer who was investigating the bunker do his dirty work and take out the bounty targets. Aztin Maru was finally killed by the spacer.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 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.
