Biography
- "Go speak with Finn Shallo. He's an editor for the Corellia Times. His writers are always doing stories about the Meatlumps."
- ―Jesseb Convorr, to a spacer
By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Finn Shallo worked in Coronet City as an editor for the Corellia Times. He was leading his own team of reporters and was known to be an expert on the Corellian terrorist and criminal organizations. During his career, he worked with Demmi Wot, an ex-member of the Ragtags who helped him find information about those criminal groups.[2]
In 1 ABY,[3] Finn Shallo agreed to help a spacer working for CorSec Lieutenant Mack Jasper and provided information about the Meatlump criminals. Thanks to Shallo, the spacer discovered that the Ragtags were responsible for vandalism in the Coronet Starport.[2]
Around the same time, Finn Shallo helped a spacer find the owner of a viewscreen with the Corellia Times logo on it retrieved from a Meatlump sublieutenant.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees — Quest: "Find the owner of the viewscreen" on Corellia
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Quest: "Coronet Starport Vandalism" on Corellia
- ↑ 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.
