Biography

"Don't fool yourself, we are at war. The Tusken Raiders are ready to take this city, and I won't let that happen. I won't let you let that happen either."
―Purvis Arrison, to a spacer[1]

Purvis Arrison was a skilled soldier who served during two decades in the Mos Eisley Militia as a marksman.[2] By the time of the Battle of Yavin, Purvis Arrison was a veteran who still resided in Mos Eisley,[1] along with his brother Ellis.[3] Purvis sill worked in Mos Eisley, under the orders of Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt. Arrison was very concerned about Tusken Raider gathering in Junktown, a small village just outside of Mos Eisley.[1] In 1 ABY,[4] he managed to get an individual to deal with the problem. While affiliated with Jabba the Hutt's criminal organization, the spacer acted on behalf of the Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt.[1] The spacer eliminated a number of Tusken Raiders in Junktown, preventing them to raid Mos Eisley and making Purvis Arrison very satisfied.[5]

  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.
