Biography

"Yeah, seems to be a lot of people looking to help out once we won the battle of Yavin 4. Where were you before? Never mind. I do have some low security jobs I can farm out."
―Droma Ordo, to a spacer[2]

After the Battle of Yavin, Droma Ordo was stationed in Anchorhead on Tatooine, along with Captain Carh'la Bastra, and both recruited new members to join the Rebellion's cause.[1] He was also in contact with Jorund Redd, a Rebel sympathizer living in Mos Eisley.[3]

In 1 ABY,[4] Ordo recruited a spacer to perform several missions to aid the Alliance.[1] One such mission was to thin out the Bantha population around Anchorhead to decrease the number of Imperial patrols as sandtroopers had begun using Banthas in addition to the reptilian Dewbacks.[2] Another was to retrieve stolen codes from a terrorist group that operated near Anchorhead.[5] The third was retrieve a RX-8 modulator from an AT-AT leg stored at a high-security compound run by the Valarian Syndicate to test a new jamming program.[6] The trooper was spotted by a squad of mercenaries who attempted to give Imperial troops information about the mission. The trooper followed the mercenaries to an Imperial outpost near Bestine where the trooper eliminated the squad and returned to Ordo. Ordo gave the trooper fragmentation grenades as a reward then informed the trooper that, due to an Imperial investigation, he would no longer be giving missions.[7]

  4. 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.
