Duros uprising on Zilior

OnALegendsArticle

"A degree-six revolt, population equivalent to the Duros uprising on Zilior. Subjects occupy a moderate radius of jungle. Good, good…"
―Lord Drowl, comparing the revolt to one on Dromund Kaas[2]

Occurring at some point prior to or during the year 3643 BBY,[1] the Duros uprising on Zilior was a rebellion comprising members of the Duros species, who were revolting against the Sith Empire on[2] the planet Zilior.[3]

Around 3643 BBY,[1] during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, Drowl, a Sith Lord affiliated with the Empire, was familiar with the population size of the Duros uprising on Zilior. While working on suppressing a degree-six slave rebellion in the jungle outside of Kaas City on the Empire's capital world of Dromund Kaas, Drowl noted that the two revolts had equivalent populations.[2]

Behind the scenes

The Duros uprising on Zilior is mentioned in Star Wars: The Old Republic, a 2011 MMORPG produced by BioWare and LucasArts. The event is briefly spoken of in a comparison made by Lord Drowl at the start of the quest "Testing Grounds," which is available to all four Imperial classes on Dromund Kaas, the second planet for Imperial players in the game. Although the uprising on Zilior is mentioned by the Sith Lord, it is not made clear exactly when it occurred or what the outcome was. Additionally, while Drowl states that the Empire frequently assigned him to put an end to rebellions on Imperial planets, the game does not make it clear whether Drowl was involved with the uprising on Zilior.[2]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 SWTOR mini STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Old Republic — The Lost Suns 2 takes place ten years after the treaty, one week after the mission to Nar Shaddaa, and around the time of the SpecForce Incident. Since the mission and the incident are respectively part of Act I of the Jedi Knight and Republic Trooper's storylines, and the Trooper's Act I occurs concurrent to Act I of the Smuggler storyline, the general events of the Prologue and Act I for all classes can be assumed to occur in 3643 BBY.
