Biography
- "Looks like you cut through the battle droids without any trouble. Well done. With their numbers reduced we can start gunning for the bigger game."
- ―Sergeant Mener, to a spacer
By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Mener held the rank of sergeant in the Corellian Security Force[1] and was based in the city of Coronet on Corellia.[2]

In 1 ABY,[3] the CorSec received reports of hostile Clone Wars-era battle droids active in the Bindreg Hills. A group led by Lieutenant Varias, including Sergeant Mener, Officers Hirka, Kener and Savas, and several CorSec troopers, was dispatched from Coronet to investigate. The unit discovered an old and fully automated droid factory, presumably built in secret by the Separatists during the Clone Wars.[2] The CorSec ignored that the factory had been reactivated by IG-88 for his project of Droid Revolution.[4]
The droid factory was defended by many hostile battle droids but the Corellian government was reluctant to send reinforcement since it would like to avoid drawing the attention of the Galactic Empire. Independent spacers were thus recruited to assist the CorSec in the factory.[2] As Sergeant Mener was tasked to lead the fight against the droids, he enrolled several spacers to destroy as many droids as possible. The spacers destroyed more than two dozens of droids, including B1-series battle droids, B2 super battle droids, and droidekas.[1][5][6] The spacers also fought an epic battle against a very powerful prototype of an EV-series-like battle droid.[7] Eventually, the CorSec and the spacers would successfully manage to shut down the Corellia Droid Factory.[4]

- ↑ 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.
