Biography

"I need somone to smuggle out a plant. This plant is used to make a rare spice."
―Maghr Scutu, to a spacer[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Maghr Scutu visited Tansarii Point Station, a space station located above Ord Mantell, in the Bright Jewel system, in order to obtain a a rare plant that grew in the station's atrium. He thus contacted the smuggler Tarand Crowe in order to obtain a portion of this plant that could be used to make spice. Crowe accepted but he was not able to perform the job himself since he was watched by the authorities of the station. He instead recruited a spacer who agreed with serving as an intermediate. The spacer therefore met Maghr Scutu who provided information about the delivery and then managed to steal a portion of the plant undetected. The spacer later launched into space in his own starfighter, traveled to a rendezvous point in the Bright Jewel system and delivered the plant to another ship piloted by one of Scutu's henchman.[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.
