"Now hurry! Someone is coming!"
―Darex Rath, to a spacer[1]

Elo Folding was a male Ishi Tib Force-sensitive who became a Dark Jedi during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] he traveled to an Imperial space station in the Outer Rim Territories in order to assassinate a spacer who exhibited the potential to become a great ally to the Rebellion in its war against the Empire. However, the spacer received the help of an individual named Darex Rath. Rath attacked Folding, thereby allowing the spacer to escape the space station.[1]

Behind the scenes

  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.
