Dathnaeya Loessin

OnALegendsArticle

"I stand here often, staring up at the stars, and all I can see is war. I feel it moving to envelope me though I've tried to avoid it.  If I remain on the side and do nothing, I know I will be destroyed for certain. My name is Dathnaeya Loessin."
―Dathnaeya Loessin, to a spacer[1]

Dathnaeya Loessin was a Human female who served as a member of the CorSec on Talus during the Galactic Civil War.

Biography

"A friend of mine, a fellow agent, has been facing a personal crisis. Due to my responsibilities with CorSec, I can not help her the same way you can. Her name is Dathnaeya Loessin. She works at the capital building in Dearic."
―Agent Taarna, to a spacer[1]

Dathnaeya Loessin was a member of the Corellian Security Force. She was originally trained by Agent Taarna, a distinguished member of the CorSec who became a friend and mentor to Loessin. By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Dathnaeya Loessin was working in the Dearic Capitol and was considered as one of CorSec's most promising officers.[2]

As the Galactic Civil War between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic grew ever more intense with the Battle of Restuss,[3] Dathnaeya Loessin believed she could no longer stand on the side without involving herself. However, she did not know which side to take. She discussed her trouble with Agent Taarna but the old man was not able to help her without harming his position in the CorSec.[2][4] In 1 ABY,[5] Taarna hired an independent spacer who already assisted him in the past in order to help Dathnaeya. In the meantime, the woman made an appointment to Captain Quellium and Colonel Ekirk, respectively Rebel and Imperial officers, both stationed in Dearic. Loessin then tasked the spacer to work with both officers in order to determine which faction was the most fair and rightful in that conflict.[4]

Rebel Captain Quellium requested the spacer to work with Trezya Nenei against the Nightstrike Soldier Hegemony, a group of mercenaries affiliated with the Empire.[6] On the other hand, Imperial Colonel Ekirk tasked the spacer to work for Galiir Ac Yandar against the Aggregate Civil Liberties Organization, a medical supply company allied with the Alliance.[7] Finally, the spacer made a detailed report to Dathnaeya Loessin who decided to join one of the factions in the Galactic Civil War.[4]

  5. ↑ 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.
