Biography

"There is a ship in Tatooine called the Lord's Mistress. She is loaded with Corellian Brandy and I want some."
―Droz[3]

In 1 ABY,[1] Daniel's freighter Lord's Mistress was boarded by a spacer in the Tatooine system, and its load of Corellian brandy was stolen.[4] When Daniel learned of the theft, he tried to take his revenge on the spacer. He managed to track him to the Dantooine system and intercepted the ship when it returned to the Dantooine Space Station to deliver the brandy. When the station master realized that Daniel would find out about his involvement in the theft, he ordered the spacer to eliminate him. It came to a dogfight between the spacer and Daniel in his Ixiyen-class fast attack craft that ended when Daniel's ship was shot down.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 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.
