―Bosshand Faeto, to a bounty hunter[1]

By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Bosshand Faeto was a minor criminal leader in Mos Eisley. He ruled his gang and expanded his activities with the ambition to rule Tatooine one day. In the meanwhile, he was smart enough to avoid conflict with Jabba the Hutt. Faeto usually spent a lot of time in Lady Valarian's Lucky Despot cantina.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] an individual known as Untas owned Faeto money. Although the amount was ridiculously low, 100 credits, Faeto hired a bounty hunter to kill Untas in order to preserve his reputation. The bounty hunter Boba Fett heard about the death mark and advised an acquainted bounty hunter to accept the mission. Bosshand Faeto met the bounty hunter in the Lucky Despot and they agreed with the terms of the contract. Faeto recommended the bounty hunter to first ask a woman known as Taibela about Untas. After Taibela, the bounty hunter met her fiancé Oldksam, and later Untas' partner Sleash. The drug addict Sleash agreed with giving Untas' location, in the White Thranta Shipping offices, and the bounty hunter eventually killed Untas.[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.
