"You know, when I was working me way to the massive fortune I now have, people were always trying to hold me back. But they were the losers. I'm a winner. That's why I'm the industrial tubing king of Coronet."
―Frye Troeman[1]

Frye Troeman was a Human male businessman who lived on Corellia during the Galactic Civil War.

Biography

"There's a local businessman who owes me some money for services I performed for him a while back. He refuses to pay. Could you go talk to him and collect my payment from him?"
"I'd be happy to help."
"Thank you. His name's Frye Troeman. He's not pleasant."
―A gadget specialist and a spacer[1]

By the time following the Battle of Yavin, he operated out of Coronet City.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Troeman owned some money to a gadget specialist for services performed on a malfunctioning terminal but refused to pay. As the gadget specialist used to work with the Corellian Security Force, the gadget specialist once requested a spacer working with CorSec Lieutenant Mack Jasper to collect the payment from Troeman. The businessman was reluctant but apparently accepted to pay. In fact, he sent his henchmen to assassinate the spacer. Nevertheless, the spacer managed to kill all the assassins. When the spacer returned to him, Frye Troeman was forced to pay off his debt.[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.
