- "There are those on this station who would see you dead. You need to get off this station if you wish to live. I can help you."
- ―Darex Rath, to a spacer
Darex Rath was a Human male who lived during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Rath was present on an Imperial space station[1] in the Outer Rim Territories when an Imperial-class Star Destroyer captured a passenger freighter on suspicion of harboring criminals.[3] Several spacers were apprehended and taken to the Imperial space station. The spacers were finally released but the space station was later attacked by pirates. Darex Rath then helped a spacer to escape the Dark Jedi Elo Folding and flee the station. Rath recommended the spacer to go to Tatooine and seek assistance from Trehla Keelo in Mos Eisley.[1]
Behind the scenes
Darex Rath 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] Darex Rath was added to the game when the developers revamped the "New Player Tutorial,"[1] with the release of the "Publish 17," on May 26, 2005. However, Darex Rath was removed alongside with this tutorial when the developers introduced a completely new tutorial with the release of the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[5]

Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees — Publish 17: "New Player Tutorial"
- ↑ 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.
