Colonel Ekirk in his office.

The building served as the office of Colonel Ekirk after the Battle of Yavin.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Galiir Ac Yandar, the leader of the mercenary organization known as the Nightstrike Soldier Hegemony, visited the office in order to negotiate the integration of the N.S.H. in the Imperial Military with Colonel Ekirk.[3] In the meantime, CorSec officer Dathnaeya Loessin sent a spacer to the office to work with Colonel Ekirk because she wanted to learn more about the ideologies and practices of the Empire and the Rebellion.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Imperial Office appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] The Imperial Office was added to the game as part of the "Crisis of Allegiance" arc with the release of "Chapter 2: The Talus Incident," on August 1, 2006.[5]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Crisis of Allegiance" on Talus
  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.
