"A group of mercenaries from the area, Strehkforce mercenaries. They're commanded by Evan Strehk and Maris Fahrs."
―Vance Groten, to a spacer[2]

Evan Strehk was a Human male Strehkforce commander who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War. He operated out of a Strehkforce camp outside of the city of Dee'ja Peak, in the Gallo Mountains, on the planet Naboo alongside Commander Maris Fahrs.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] Strehkforce mercenaries went to Dee'ja Peak and stole a Stonewall Labs security beacon from Vance Groten. Spacers who were working with Groten later went to the mercenary camp, in the mountains, to recover it. The spacers attacked the Strehkforce mercenaries and killed Evan Strehk and Maris Fahrs.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 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.
