Biography

The Minder of Weak Wills was a former student at Corellia University. The Minder was enslaved after a archaeological dig on Yavin 4 in 1 ABY she was involved in had unknowingly tunneled into the burial chamber of the Temple of Exar Kun and released the ancient Sith Lord's spirit. The entire team was subsequently enslaved by the malevolent spirit and were ordered into the Cult of Exar Kun. Later, a Corellia University research outpost on Talus was invaded by the Cult and all its students and researchers were enslaved as well, afterward most were brought back to Yavin 4. Fearing why he had lost contact with the outpost, Professor Cornelius Wagglehorn hired a group of spacers to travel to Talus and investigate. The spacers learned what had transpired and informed the professor.

He provided them with the coordinates to the tomb and implored them to destroy the evil Sith Lord's spirit within. The Minder was the second major obstacle the spacers encountered within the tomb, having just triumphed over Open Hand of Hate. The Minder had been empowered with the Force by Kun's spirit, and she used it to bend various creatures to her will. Commanding an army of tomb flier bats and skreegs, she ordered them to attack the spacers. The spacers eventually killed her pets and she was forced to take matters into her own hands. After a relatively short fight, she was killed by the combined might of the group, her spirit freed from the grasp of the evil Exar Kun. Afterward, the spacers continued deeper into the tomb, eventually coming upon the Caretaker of the Lost Souls.

Notes and references

  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.
