Corellia University, also known as the University of Corellia, was a prestigious college on Corellia, famous for its School of Starship Engineering. The institution went as far back as 3643 BBY.

In 1 ABY,[1] Professor Walter Emanus led a Corellia University expedition to the Temple of Exar Kun on Yavin 4. However, when they uncovered the catacombs beneath the temple, they reawakened the spirit of Exar Kun and became enslaved to it, forming the Cult of Exar Kun. Some of the cultists traveled to a Corellia University research outpost on Talus, where they recruited a number of students and researchers to their ranks. Professor Cornelius Wagglehorn, of the University, later hired some spacers to deal with the cultists.[2]

Notes and references

  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.
