"Let's go Draknus, I want to race now."
―A spacer, to Draknus[1]

Draknus was an Ithorian male swooper who resided on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, he managed a swoop racing track in Mos Entha with his droids RC-1Z, RC-2X and RC-3T.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] fellow swooper An'Kwee introduced to Draknus a spacer who wished to gain trust from Mos Entha swoop racers. The aim of the spacer was to retrieve a R2 unit motivator that was previously used by a deceased podracer pilot. After the spacer successfully achieved all of Draknus's races, An'Kwee agreed to help the spacer in the search.[1]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Pod Retrieval" on Tatooine
  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.
