Biography
- "I would like to learn more from you, if you are willing."
- ―Raine Taske, to a spacer
After the Battle of Yavin, Raine Taske resided on board Tansarii Point Station, in the Bright Jewel system.[1] He often worked with the Bith vendor Jesi who provided him resources to craft various kinds of items.[2][3][4]
In 1 ABY,[5] a spacer who was himself an artisan arrived on the station aboard the Millennium Falcon along with Han Solo and Chewbacca. Since Raine Taske was an old buddy of his, Solo recommended the spacer work with the trader. The spacer therefore met Raine, and both agreed with sharing their crafting skills.[1] First, Taske asked the spacer to help the bartender of the station's cantina prepare some drinks.[6] The spacer later returned to Taske, and the two traders started to work together. The spacer taught Raine Taske to craft clothing,[2] make food, namely bofa treats,[3] and produce mineral and flora survey tools.[4][7]

- ↑ 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.
