Kakirk's Collections was a small museum located in the hidden township of Aurilia on Dathomir during the Galactic Civil War. It was run by the Mon Calamari collector Kakirk. It was built after the reconstruction of the village, following the battle of Aurilia,[2] in 1 ABY.[1]
Behind the scenes
The interior of the gallery.
Kakirk's Collections appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Kakirk's Collections was added to the game along with the revamped city of Aurilia,[2] released with the "Chapter 7" update on November 1, 2007.[4]
Like several other buildings in the city, Kakirk's Collections reused the building model that was first used in Rage of the Wookiees as a hunting lodge for the Chiss Poachers in the Rodian Hunting Grounds on Kashyyyk.[5] Its name was revealed by signs in front of the building.[2]

Notes and references
- ↑ 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.
