Biography
The gazebo in which Captain Pir'pwn safeguarded his glowing stone
Captain Pir'pwn was a member of the Rorgungans,[1] a group of extremist Gungans who violently opposed Boss Rugor Nass's support of Naboo's human population during the Invasion of Naboo and rejected any alliance between humans and Gungans.[2]
Sometime following the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, he occupied a gazebo perched atop a mountain. While in the gazebo, he sat on a throne while safeguarding a mysterious glowing stone placed on an altar in front of him. He was protected by a group of fellow Rorgunan lieutenants.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] a spacer attacked the Gungans and eventually stole the rock.[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.
