- "Our men will re-capture the freighter and guide it back home. However, you must protect it from incoming Zynt'aia pirate attacks. No doubt, they'll try to destroy the freighter now that we've rescued it."
- ―A'Lerris Verata, to a pilot
The Darksing D-45 was a heavy freighter owned by the Nallera's mining crew in the Tatoo system during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the ship was captured by the Zynt'aia pirates but it was eventually recaptured by the starfighter forces dispatched by Mining Chief Operator A'Lerris Verata.[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.
