Biography

"There is an organization of mercenaries here on Talus that is giving me fits. They are called the Nightstrike Soldier Hegemony. Recently, they confiscated a shipment of medical supplies that would go a long way in helping the Alliance's efforts here."
―Captain Quellium, to a spacer[1]

Vayde Quellium was a Rebel Alliance officer during the Galactic Civil War between the Rebellion and the Galactic Empire. After the Battle of Yavin, the young Bothan had achieved the rank of captain and was stationed in the city of Dearic on Talus.[1] His office was located in the building of the Wideband Temp Agency, a front company for Rebel recruiters.[3]

By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Captain Quellium was working with Trezya Nenei, a representative of the Aggregate Civil Liberties Organization, an anti-Imperial organization on Talus.[1] In 1 ABY,[4] the A.C.L.O. was seeking to join the Rebel Alliance on a permanent basis. In the meanwhile, both the A.C.L.O. and the Rebels were in conflict with the Nightstrike Soldier Hegemony, a Talusian mercenary organization affiliated with the Empire. At some point, N.S.H. troops shut down an A.C.L.O. clinic and imprisoned the Wookiee medical officer Syirlabradawk. They also confiscated a shipment of medical supplies which were intended for the Alliance forces on Talus. Captain Quellium and Trezya Nenei therefore sent a spacer to raid the N.S.H. base.[1] The spacer was recommended by CorSec officer Dathnaeya Loessin who wanted to determine what kind of people the Rebellion and the Empire had chosen to work with.[3] The spacer assaulted the N.S.H. base and eventually managed to retrieve the medical shipment and rescue the medical officer, killing many N.S.H. enforcers in the process.[1][5] Vayde Quellium was very grateful and tried to recruit the spacer in the Rebellion.[2]

  4. ↑ 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.
