Biography

"Yukusu kenza keena!"
"Uh...Uncle Owen, this R2 unit has a bad motivator?"
―Charl Sstena rambling to a spacer[1]

Around 0 ABY, Charl Sstena helped sell C-3PO and R2-D2 to Owen Lars.[1] He then apparently survived the onslaught by the Imperial Stormtroopers soon after.[2]

Following the Battle of Yavin, Sstena worked as a smuggler, transporting goods outside the Tatooine system.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] he was contracted to deliver goods to the Meatlumps, a criminal gang on Corellia. A spacer working for a Meatlump armorer contacted Sstena and arranged a rendezvous outside Coronet. However, the meeting point was attacked by some Ragtags, a rival criminal group. After the spacer defeated the attackers, Charl Sstena was able to land and make the delivery.[1]

Behind the scenes

Charl Sstena 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.[4] Charl Sstena was added to the game as part of the "Meatlumps Theme Park," introduced with "Chapter 10: The Search for the Meatlump King," released on June 19, 2008.[5]

Players who took part in the "Meatlump Themepark" could receive a quest where they must speak to Charl. When the player spoke to him, Charl would ramble on about Uncle Owen and R5-D4.[1]

  3. ↑ 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.
