Biography

"Dartas is as tough as the Scarlet Dawn, m'friend. Iffin' ya thought the Bright Jewel was hard, wait til ya see what Dartas has t'offer ya."
―Aleas Rans'ery, to a spacer[2]

In his early career, Dartas Pytin was a pilot in the Corellian Security Force.[2] After the Battle of Yavin, he was a well-trained pilot for the Car'das based on Tansarii Point Station, along with Serissu, Laetin A'shera and Aleas Rans'ery.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] he oversaw all Car'das operations in the Scarlet Dawn quadrant of the Bright Jewel system.[1]

During the Battle of Tansarii Point Station between Car'das and Black Sun forces, Dartas Pytin tasked his pilots to eliminate several Black Sun spies in order to prevent the spread of the Black Envy computer virus.[1] Pytin later led the final assault against the Black Sun strongholds known as the Salient Trinity. He first ordered his pilots to attack the Dual Moons, eliminate Black Sun pilots and kill Lieutenant Commanders Chaen and Ondara.[4] Dartas Pytin's pilots finally assaulted the Darkveil Eclipse and his defenses led by Lieutenant Commander Rilis. The pilots were successful and thus annihilated the main Black Sun hubs in the Bright Jewel system. Pytin's pilots later joined other Car'das pilots to eliminate remaining Black Sun forces in the area, formally ending the Battle of Tansarii Point Station.[5]

  3. ↑ 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.
