Dragonet

OnALegendsArticle

"Folks say those dragonets are young krayt dragons. Don't know about that, but be careful anyway."
―Pfilbee Jhorn, to a spacer[3]

Dragonets were reptile creatures native to the planet Tatooine.[1] Sometimes compared to young krayt dragons,[3] they were often found in lairs made of bones.[1]

History

"Dragonet flank steaks are the main course. Their meat is so succulent! Yes. Flanks. Dragonet flanks."
―Porcellus, to a spacer[4]

During the Galactic Civil War, Jabba the Hutt's cook, Porcellus, used to cook dragonet flanks for his master.[4] In 1 ABY,[5] Imperial Custodial Officer Pfilbee Jhorn tasked a spacer to eliminate dragonets prowling around the trash compactors in Bestine.[3]

Behind the scenes

Dragonets appeared 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.[6] In the game, the dragonets had the same appearance than the dune lizards, the scyks and the rills.[1]

  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.
