Interior of the base.

Interior of the base.

An underground Rebel Base was built on the moon Yavin 4 during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, this small camp was used by a troop of Rebel soldiers led by Major Osto Elrad.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] a group of Imperial agents under direct orders of Darth Vader attacked the camp and killed Major Elrad.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Rebel Base was a location in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] The Rebel Base was added to the game with the revamped "Imperial Theme Park," released with the "Chapter 6.12" update, on September 13, 2007.[4]

  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.
