Galvain Tark

OnALegendsArticle

"I need your help. They took my best racing durnis. All three of them. Do you know how hard it is to train a racing durni? Well, to be honest, it's not really all that difficult. But still, those were mine! I spent years training them."
―Galvain Tark, to a spacer[1]

Galvain Tark was a male Nikto animal handler who lived on Corellia during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Tark owned three durnis and worked hard for years to train them as racing durnis.[1] However, In 1 ABY,[2] the durnis were stolen by the criminals of the Chirq Council and held captive in a bunker near the city of Doaba Guerfel. Galvain Tark thus hired a spacer to recover the animals. The spacer infiltrated the bunker successfully and managed to liberate the three durnis and bring them back to their master.[1]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Quest: "Recover the Stolen Racing Durni" on Corellia
  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.
