Jaek Vercet

"Every so often, one of these rebel insurgents realizes that the Rebels are misguided. In this case, this former rebel held some power in their poor excuse for a military. His knowledge will help us crush the scum."
―Jaek Vercet[1]

Jaek Vercet was a male Human officer of the Galactic Empire who lived during the Galactic Civil War.[1] After the Battle of Yavin, Vercet was the Imperial Representative to the city of Moenia on Naboo.[2] While there, he often visited the local university.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] the officer was approached by a Rebel informant who was willing to defect to the Empire. The individual was eager to give sensitive information if the Empire offered him immunity.[2] Vercet thus recruited an Imperial operative to escort the Rebel informant to Lieutenant Allard Lissara at the Emperor's Retreat. However, the informant was attacked and injured. Unable to move, he requested the Imperial operative to deliver a codephrase to Lissara: "Wookiees walk at night in the trees of Naboo." The operative delivered successfully the correct codephrase.[1]

  3. ↑ 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.
