"What do you think you're doing here? This my factory! No trespassers!"
―IG-88[4]

The Battle of Nym's Factory Compound occurred in Nym's Factory Compound on Lok in 1 ABY.

Background

The droid bounty hunter IG-88 had set up production of droids for its droid army in the compound and a group of spacers came to shut things down.

The battle

"Keep in memory buffers that my factories can produce unlimited droidekas such as these!"
―IG-88[4]

As the spacers entered the compound, a number of exploding B1-series battle droids confronted them in the entrance, but were defeated. The spacers pushed on and faced down two waves of four gold droidekas. The spacers then faced a serious threat, from giant B1s equipped with flamethrowers, to MSE-6-series repair droids that targeted their artillery barrages. Eventually the spacers prevailed again and defeated the droids.

The spacers had a final showdown with the IG-88 droid commanding the facility, which was armed with a blaster and a flamethrower and fought ferociously. Ultimately though, it was defeated and the factory was shut down.

Aftermath

The remains of the IG-88 droid were presumably recovered and repaired by IG-88's droid army, as all four IG-88 droids were known to have been sighted at later dates.

  5. ↑ 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.
