"Pol Handerin has a farm on the outskirts of Coronet."
―Lieutenant Jasper, to a spacer[1]

Pol Handerin owned a farm on the outskirts of Coronet City, on the planet Corellia, during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, Handerin got into serious trouble because of wild creatures and bandits that plagued the farm.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] CorSec Lieutenant Mack Jasper dispatched a recruit to help the farmer. The CorSec agent first eliminated a pack of enraged carrion spats, including the pack leader Gravefeather, that did a lot of damage to the farm. The CorSec agent then successfully dealt with a group of criminals, the Nedgarr Bandits, who damaged crops and stole grain in the farm. The CorSec agent recovered the stolen grain and eliminated several bandits, including their leader Trae Nedgarr. Pol Handerin was thankful for the help he received and that solved all the problems in his farm.[1]

Behind the scenes

Pol Handerin's farm appeared as a location in the video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3]

Pol Handerin's farm was added to the game with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[4] It was part of questline that featured the Rogue CorSec plot against the Diktat.[1] This story arc was later slightly revamped with the release of the "Publish 27," on February 15, 2006,[5] as the questline was integrated into the "Legacy Quest," the main questline in the game.[1]

  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.
