Nandina

OnALegendsArticle

"I am Nandina, recently released from a banishment chamber with my pet here, Gorvo."
―Azzenaj[3]

Nandina was a Human member of the Nightsister clan of the Dathomiri Witches during the Galactic Civil War. She was imprisoned in the Chamber of Banishment; however, at some point she escaped along with her pet rancor Gorvo. She hungered for revenge against the Singing Mountain Clan and especially against its Arch Witch, Azzenaj. She began informing the occasional encounters of her intentions, and soon a spacer came to her looking to perform the job. Nandina instructed him to go to the Singing Mountain village and kill Azzenaj, promising him a rich reward for killing the witch she long hated. The next day, the spacer returned and presented a piece of Azzenaj's jewelry as the proof of the job done.

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Heroic Instance: "Axkva Min"
  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.
