"Perhaps we could finally draw out the infamous Talonbane Cobra. You've obviously defeated everything else they've thrown at you."
"What's the Talonbane Cobra?"
"One of the best officers the Black Sun has. A very skilled, heartless assassin."
―Laetin A'shera and a Car'das pilot[2]

Talonbane Cobra was a starfighter pilot and assassin who flew with the space forces of Black Sun during the Galactic Civil War.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] he flew a Kihraxz assault fighter and had earned the title of ace. During the Battle of Tansarii Point Station, Cobra was killed in the Lurid Aurora Nebula by Laetin A'shera's forces working for the Car'das organization.[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.
