Biography

"Okay, Oldksam can help you. He is hiding out in the Krayt Cult cave. Just give him this flower and he will know that you are from me."
"Dried flowers? How romantic."
―Taibela and a bounty hunter[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, Oldksam resided in Mos Eisley with his fiancée, Taibela. They were acquainted with the thugs Untas and Sleash.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Untas was indebted to the crime boss Faeto. When Faeto placed a death mark on him, Oldksam, Sleash and Untas went into hiding. Taibela stayed in Mos Eisley, where she was questioned by a bounty hunter. The bounty hunter convinced her to reveal where Oldksam was hiding. The bounty hunter then tracked Oldksam, who was hiding in the Krayt Cult Cave to elude Faeto. When the bounty hunter told him that the death mark only targeted Untas, Oldksam agreed with giving Sleash's location. The bounty hunter later found Sleash, then Untas, and finally killed the latter.[1]

  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) — Bounty Hunter Quest: "Faeto's Job" on Tatooine
  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.
