The Nightsister Forced Labor Camp was a labor camp of the Nightsisters on the planet Dathomir.[1] They sent slaves to this camp to work in their mines.[2] These slaves were only males.[1]

History

"We're trapped down deep inside the mines, and the Nightsisters oversee everything we do."

The entrance of the mine.

The entrance of the mine.

After the Battle of Yavin, a prisoner escaped from the camp and made it to the Trade Outpost where he hoped to find someone that would help him free the other slaves.[2]

At some point, Jabba the Hutt sent a traitor from his organization to Dathomir to be enslaved by the Nightsisters.[3] Later, in 1 ABY,[4] Bruce McBrain, an underling of Jabba, hired a spacer to search the Nightsister Forced Labor Camp in order to retrieve the destruction code sequences of a CR90 corvette of the Corellian Security Force that were once owned by the traitor.[3]

  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.
