- "I have womp rats spreading grunge fever. This is not a joke. I need to get samples of the infected womp rats to the meds. The fever is transmitted by pus from lesions in the rat's skin. You can tell if the rat is infected if the skin is mottled. Just kill a womp rat and see if the skin is mottled. Oh, and be careful: don't touch the pus."
- ―Entha Kandela, to a spacer
Grunge fever was a disease spread by womp rats. The fever is transmitted by pus from lesions in the skin of the animals.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Animal Control officer Entha Kandela tasked a spacer to eliminate womp rats around Mos Eisley to prevent propagation of the disease in the city.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Animal Control Officer" on Tatooine
- ↑ 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.
