A rrwii

The rrwii was a plant native to the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk. It grew especially heavy in the Etyyy region of the planet.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] at the height of the Galactic Civil War, the Wookiee Dr. Cheyerooto tasked a spacer with collecting five samples of rrwii root from the Etyyy hunting grounds. Cheyerooto hoped to use the root to cure a group of Wookiees of an unknown disease which had driven them insane. The spacer collected the root samples and returned them to Cheyerooto. The Wookiee was pleased and rewarded the spacer with 10,000 credits.[1]

Behind the scenes

The rrwii appeared 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 rrwii was added to the game with the release of the expansion pack Rage of the Wookiees on May 5, 2005.[1]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees — Quest: "The Rrwii Root" on Kashyyyk
  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.
