Afarathu Cave

OnALegendsArticle

"Did you find the Afarathu Cult lair?"
―A Selonian diplomat, to a spacer[2]

The Afarathu Cave was a cave on the planet Corellia, located near the city of Doaba Guerfel. It was inhabited by the Afarathu extremists.

History

"The Afarathu are slime though. You won't be able to enter their cave without a fight."
―Lieutenant Velso, to a spacer[3]

The cave served as headquarters for the Afarathu,[1] a Selonian terrorist sect which aimed to drive the Dralls and the Humans from the worlds of the Corellian system.[4] It was used for many years prior to the Battle of Yavin by the vicious Afarathu extremists to stage their strikes against Corellian interests.[1]

Very few knew the location of the cave; the former Follower of Nyax Lock Vlash was one of them.[5] After the Battle of Yavin, a Selonian diplomat in Doaba Guerfel recruited a spacer to fight the Afarathu Selonians at the cave.[2]

In 1 ABY,[6] some Afarathu fought Rebel Alliance forces on Corellia. Imperial Lieutenant Velso later dispatched a spacer to the cave in order to retrieve the ship destruct sequence codes of a Rebel Corellian Corvette possibly stolen by the Afarathu during the skirmish.[3]

The same year, a spacer visited the cave and collected a Fallann hyper-rifle.[7]

  6. ↑ 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.
