Biography

"It looks like they are running an illegal lab. The keycard that you got should give you access to the main floor. Go there and get all the information you can. You are fully authorized to use lethal force."
―Lieutenant Joth[2]

By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Joth was a lieutenant of the Corellian Security Force, stationed in Coronet City.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] he went to work with a spacer who was highly recommended by his colleague, Lieutenant Mack Jasper.[1]

Lieutenant Joth tasked the spacer to track down rumors about "dangerous things coming" reported by an informant known as Ja'inn. The spacer learn from Ja'inn that one of her contacts, the Bothan smuggler Moril, got scared after shipping some odd items to a group that he couldn't name. When he was interrogated by the spacer, Moril confessed he was hired to deliver animal feed, chemicals and tranquilizer materials to an isolated building and what he saw there terrified him. Lieutenant Joth therefore ordered the spacer to go to the drop location for Moril's shipment and investigate the area.[4] The spacer quickly discovered that the building was an illegal lab,[2] a lab specialized in bio-engineering creatures through dangerous genetic experiments. Lieutenant Joth therefore ordered the spacer to cripple the operations.[5] The spacer thus killed Doctor Maldien, the Chief Scientist of the lab.[6] The spacer then fought the engineered beasts and managed to kill them all.[7] Finally, the spacer overloaded the lab's central computer, destroying all the research data collected. Lieutenant Joth was annoyed by the carnage but satisfied that the beasts were prevented to escape in Coronet.[8]

  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.
