"We bought a load of power converters and control modules from the Jawas. He decided to test out some of them in his speeder. He headed off into the wilderness an hour ago. I just got a call that he is stuck out there."
―Cuan Talon, to a spacer[1]

Janus was a human male who lived on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] he was the warehouse manager of Tosche Station. At some point, he bought some stuff to the Jawa traders of Sand Crawler 345. During a transfer mission to get power converters, his speeder bike broke down in the desert. His boss Cuan Talon hired a spacer to rescue him but Janus was killed by a group of Desert Demons.[1]

  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 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.
