"Let's see, this gift is coming from a merchant, a Devaronian named Midgoss D'la -- Dalla -- my, I can hardly pronounce this. It doesn't matter."
Brantlee Spondoon, to a spacer[1]

Midgoss D'labaninaph was a male Devaronian merchant who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Midgoss D'labaninaph traveled to the planet Corellia to do business. However, shortly after landing on the planet, he was swindled by the con artist Zoda Burb and abandoned in the wilderness without any money. Midgoss managed to contact Brantlee Spondoon, the assistant to the Corellian Diktat Daclif Gallamby. The merchant requested immediate assistance and a lawsuit against Burb. Spondoon was not really eager to help but she quickly changed her mind when the Devaronian proposed to offer her one of his finest wares. The greedy woman therefore dispatched a spacer to rescue D'labaninaph and his merchandise. The spacer saved the merchant from dangerous wild beasts and escorted him to Coronet. Eventually, Spondoon was very disappointed by Midgoss D'labaninaph's present: a Devaronian fur glosser. Ironically, it was Zoda Burb who would later win the favor of Brantlee Spondoon.[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.
