"I used to be a part of the Rebel Alliance Spy Network, but I decided that my skills were needed elsewhere. I collected information for them regarding the activity on Lok. Obviously, they didn't like the fact that their systems were easy to hack. I left on account of 'unresolved differences'."
―Talia v'laenya, to a spacer[1]

Talia v'laenya was a female Bothan spy who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Early during the conflict, she joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic and was a member of the Alliance Spy Network. However, she left the organization due to "unresolved differences" prior to the Battle of Yavin.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] she operated out of Nym's Stronghold on Lok. There, she encountered a spacer and provided information about Kimogila Town and the Canyon Corsair's Stronghold.[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.
