Biography

"I am sure Byxle just made a mistake."
"Yea, it started back when he first thought he could cook."
―A spacer and Jano Bix[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, Byxle Pedette operated Mos Eisley's only Tasty Dried Critters franchise, although he wasn't much of a cook.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] the Mon Calamari was getting so many orders that he had to ask a spacer who was walking by to deliver three extra orders for a few credits. The spacer agreed and Byxle gave him the location of the deliveries and told him he could keep any tips he got and not to forget the slogan, "TDC is not fast food, it's food delivered fast".[1]

When the spacer got to the first location, Drixa Dreul's house, Drixa found out that Byxle hadn't given the spacer fungus dippers she'd ordered. After the first delivery, Byxle called the spacer and told him Drixa hadn't paid for the fungus dippers or the spacers tip, but he said it wasn't his fault, Drixa always had something to complain about. The next delivery was at the Trandoshan Nogri Hessen's house. When the spacer arrived it turned out the stuffed Chuba was still alive and eating the rest of the food. The Trandoshan didn't pay for the delivery, but Byxle called and said that Nogri told him about the food and believed him and said he'd still pay him for the delivery, and also told him to be careful about the next location, the delivery was at the dangerous swoop gang leader, Jano Bix.[1]

The Spacer arrived for the delivery, but he was surrounded by swoop riders. When the spacer got to Jano, everything was going all right until the four Chubas the spacer was supposed to deliver attacked Jano and the spacer. After killing the Chubas, Jano threatened the spacer, but the spacer said that Byxle just made a mistake. Jano replied. Once again Byxle calls and says Jano paid, and that he likes his Chubas fresh. When the spacer returned to the restaurant, Byxle said that Jano called back and that he had no idea the Chubas were alive. Byxle Pedette paid the spacer and the spacer left and stopped doing deliveries for him.[1]

"Did Byxle send you? He really is a good friend even if he doesn't know how to cook."

  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.
