Biography

"I had no idea Drik Bandrik was arranging a frame. As soon as I found out, I rushed back here. Please take me to Kitster!"
―Krin Vel, to a spacer[1]

Krin Vel was a friend of Kitster Chanchani Banai.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] a slaver named Drik Bandrik became upset with Kitster Banai's persistent attempts to improve the lives of slaves on Tatooine. In order to ruin Kitster, Drik Bandrik framed him with the murder of Krin Vel. Drik paid Krin to leave Mos Espa long enough for local vigilante leader Sont Toipo to amass an angry mob to kill Kitster. At this point, Krin Vel ignored everything of the plot against her friend. This mob of moisture farmers believed Krin Vel to have been murdered.[1]

However, a spacer working for Kitster managed to kill Sont Toipo and frighten his mob. The spacer then proceeded to find Krin Vel, so that she could help Kitster clear his name. When the spacer found Krin, she insisted that she did not know she was being used in a frame. She pleaded with the spacer to be brought back to Mos Espa. The spacer brought her back to the city, and Kitster claimed that with the help of Krin, they would see to it that Drik Bandrik went to prison. Fortunately for Kitster, Krin Vel assisted him amassing enough evidence to clear him, of all of Drik's fake charges. The spacer was then tasked with delivering the evidence to a Kitonak named Thermal Det, so that the information could be made public.[1]

  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.
