Erran Sif in her bunker
Erran Sif began her career as a spy for the Empire. She was instructed to infiltrate the Rebel Alliance, but upon doing so, Imperial agents learned that she was selling both Rebel and Imperial information to the Hutts. When her treachery was revealed after the Battle of Yavin, Erran Sif realized that her life was at risk and fled from Corellia to the Twin World of Talus.[2] There, she holed up in a secluded bunker, surrounding herself with only her most trusted associates.[1] They consisted of a ruthless mercenary crew, including a number of Trandoshans and her two brothers, Hirsch and Doak.[2] However, in 1 ABY,[3] the Empire finally discovered the location of Erran Sif's secret hideout and exposed her identity so that she could be hunted down by bounty hunters or other denizens. The Bothan Spynet also shared this information.[2]
Behind the scenes
Erran Sif was one of many Non-Player Characters in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] Players could go to her bunker and kill Erran Sif, though this was not part of a quest.[1] The biography of Erran Sif was expanded upon in a short article titled "10 Hot Spots Travel Guide."[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.
