Biography

"The public health in Mos Eisley is in danger. If we don't get the vermin under control we will lose this city."
―Entha Kandela, to a spacer[1]

Entha Kandela was a skilled scout[2] who served as animal-control officer for the city of Mos Eisley, under the orders of Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt. She was severely underfunded by the time of the Battle of Yavin. Because of this, the vermin outside the city walls became a major health hazard.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] she hired an individual to deal with the problem. While affiliated with Jabba the Hutt's criminal organization, the spacer acted on behalf of the Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt.[1] The spacer eliminated a number of womp rats, kreetles, worrts, tempest rills and rockmites for 2,150 credits, satisfying Kandela.[4][5][6][7][8]

  3. ↑ 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.
