"A guf drolg is a large amphibious sauroid native to Talus. It is omnivorous, ill-tempered, and generally hostile."
Magur Torigai[3]

Guf drolgs were large hostile reptilian creatures native to the planet Talus.

Description

Guf drolgs were large and hostile creatures from Talus. During the cold season, they migrated to regions with warmer climates in small groups called "pods." People often hunted them for their meat and leathery hides.[4]

In 1 ABY,[5] zoologist Magur Torigai hired a spacer to kill a Guf drolg that endangered the local ecosystem near the city of Restuss on Rori.[3]

  5. 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.
