A pack of vrobals attacking the poachers
- "This is a dangerous area. You should head back because if you get lost, no one will find you."
- ―Tombl Blaus, to a spacer
The Poacher vs. Creature Battle was the name of an especially prolonged conflict between poachers and violent packs of squalls and vrobals on Naboo's swamp moon of Rori during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Pelts of Rori creatures usually fetched handsome sums on the black market and unscrupulous poachers did not care about destroying the entire ecosystem.[3] In addition to the many hunters and poachers, the male Weequay by the name of Tombl Blaus was situated within the battle.[6] Sometime following the Battle of Yavin, a spacer visited the battle zone to recover a head belonging to an R2-series astromech droid.[7] Around this time, a spacer also spoke to Tombl Blaus to help reverse engineer a Corellian fried ice cream fryer.[6]

- ↑ 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.
