"I only deal with officers. If you're planning to become a real officer someday, maybe you should wait until you're ready."
―Ellis Arrison, to a spacer[1]

Ellis Arrison was a Human male military officer who lived on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Ellis Arrison resided in Mos Eisley along with his brother Purvis.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Ellis Arrison undertook the supervision of a young cadet[1] who had started officer training with Antom Moria on Tansarii Point Station.[3] In order to train the cadet in leading soldiers into battle, Ellis ordered his trainee to attack the Krayt Cult Cave near Mos Eisley and kill a number of Krayt Cultists. After the cadet returned successful from the mission,[1] Arrison sent him to continue his training under Sergeant Eom Nia on Naboo.[4]

  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.
