Eom Nia

OnALegendsArticle

"The Arrison's tell me you're a pretty good soldier. But before we get into officer training I need to see it for myself."
―Sergeant Eom Nia, to an officer[1]

Eom Nia was a Human male non-commissioned officer who lived on Naboo during the Galactic Civil War. By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Nia was holding the rank of sergeant and resided in Kaadara.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Sergeant Eom Nia undertook the supervision of a young cadet[1] who had started officer training with Antom Moria on Tansarii Point Station,[3] and then with Ellis Arrison on Tatooine.[4] In order to train the cadet in leading soldiers into battle, Sergeant Nia ordered his trainee to attack the Mummer Cave in the Gallo Mountains and kill a number of Mummers. The cadet eventually returned successful from the mission.[1]

  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.
