The Cybernetics Lab was a cybernetic laboratories located on Naboo's swamp moon of Rori during the time of the Galactic Civil War.

History

"Some small cybernetic labs in the area have recently been the victims of several break-ins. Nothing physical has been taken, but the lab techs fear that their research has been compromised."
―Lieutenant Tarc, to a spacer[1]

In operation after the Battle of Yavin, this particular laboratory was located on the edge of the city of Narmle.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] the Aqualish criminal Ponda Baba break into the lab in order to find a cybernetic arm to replace the one he lost in Mos Eisley. Lieutenant Orden Tarc of the Royal Naboo Security Forces later tasked a spacer with investigating a series of cybernetic lab break-ins, starting with the one in Narmle. After using a research data console within the lab, it was determined that an individual by the name of Ponda Baba had recently logged onto the system, despite never having worked in the laboratory. Lieutenant Tarc and the spacer eventually confronted Ponda Baba but the latter fled and escaped the system.[1]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Right Handless Man" on Rori
  2. ↑ 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.
