Biography

"All you need to do is stand guard outside the walls at the forward watch and warn us of mass attacks. It should be pretty easy. I haven't seen any mass attacks for a few hours now."
―Sergeant Mika Horn, to a spacer[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, Sergeant Mika Horn served as a trooper in the army of the Rebel Alliance. He used to wear a Rebel battle armor.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] an accident took place in the Imperial Research and Prison Facility on the planet Dathomir. The Blackwing virus that was studied there escaped containment and decimated most of the people in the area, turning them into starving undead creatures. In response, the Galactic Empire promptly established a Quarantine Zone to contain the infection. The few people who survived the initial virus outbreak were trapped in the Quarantine Zone. The survivors established camps in order to to repel the regular assaults of the zombies and try to live in safety while waiting for an evacuation.[3]

The Rebel Alliance quickly discovered the accident on Dathomir and dispatched a small unit of Rebel troops to investigate the Imperial Research and Prison Facility and rescue survivors. However, the Rebel forces were soon attacked by undead stormtroopers and suffered heavy casualties. When some Rebel soldiers started to display symptoms of the sickness, the evacuation missions were aborted and the few remaining Rebels were stuck in the Quarantine Zone.[4] Mika Horn eventually took shelter in Camp Alpha,[1] along with the TIE pilot Jeb Maris[5] and the Bothan Oona Wran.[6] Sergeant Mika Horn was in charge of the forward defense of the camp and used to recruit spacers who ventured into the Quarantine Zone to help him in that mission.[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.
