Biography
- "We suspect that a certain fringe element of the cluster-worlds population is seeking to exploit the Selonian people of Talus for their own personal gain. During the duration of these demonstrations, CorSec will be stepping up all investigations into any unlicensed dealings with the tribal population of Talus."
- ―Marx Grocco
After the Battle of Yavin, Marx Grocco was the Director of Cluster World Relations, an official agency tasked to promote good relationships between Human and tribal species living on the worlds of the Corellian system.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] several Selonians of the Neetha Den on Talus were captured by pirates and kept as hostages in order to exploit the rest of the den.[3] The situation generated anti-human sentiments among the Selonian population of Talus and hostile anti-human demonstrations erupted in the city of Nashal. Despite no act of violence against Humans was reported, the local police force and the Cluster World Relations issued a travel warning for Nashal. Via Corellia News Service, Marx Grocco explained that this preventive measure was meant to insure the public safety of Talusian human citizens and human travelers for any possible hostile encounters with non-human protestors. During those events, Grocco worked closely with the Corellian Security Force officers in an investigation into any unlicensed dealings with the tribal population of Talus.[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.
