Biography

"Go see my cousin in the capitol building. Gallura can put you to good use. I'll send word to her to expect you as well as a glowing recommendation."
―Pol Handerin, to a spacer[2]

By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Gallura Handerin worked in the Capitol building of Coronet City as a high level government aide.[1] She had a cousin who lived on the outskirts of Coronet, the farmer Pol Handerin.[2]

In 1 ABY,[3] Gallura Handerin recruited a spacer who previously worked with Pol Handerin to fulfill several missions. She first requested the spacer to check all the government drop boxes in Coronet City. She then asked the spacer to recover a stormtrooper armor stolen from an Imperial officer in the Capitol. She was very satisfied when the spacer brought back the armor even before the officer could notice the robbery. Eventually, Handerin tasked the spacer to find a missing government courier. However, the courier was assassinated by the criminal Preens B'oola in order to steal the government documents that the courier was carrying. B'oola asked for a huge ransom of 1,000,000 credits but the spacer killed him and recovered the documents. For all those services, Gallura Handerin then recommended the spacer to Brantlee Spondoon, the aide to the Diktat.[1]

Behind the scenes

Gallura Handerin was added to the game with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[5] She was part of the questline that featured the Rogue CorSec plot against the Diktat.[1] This story arc was later slightly revamped with the release of the "Publish 27," on February 15, 2006,[6] as the questline was integrated into the "Legacy Quest," the main questline in the game.[1]

  3. ↑ 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.
