Ryll Warehouse

OnALegendsArticle

"Hey, buzz off. This ain't no public loitering spot or something."
―Jaylon Geissler, to a spacer[1]

The Ryll Warehouse was a bunker located on the planet Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. It was used by Vuul Sarlin and his group to stock the Ryll spice distributed in Kor Vella.

History

"Stay away from that warehouse. It doesn't concern you."
―Jaylon Geissler, to a spacer[1]

The Ryll Warehouse was located on the outskirts of the Corellian city of Kor Vella. After the Battle of Yavin, the building belonged to a group of spice dealers led by Vuul Sarlin and was used to stock Ryll prior to its sale in Kor Vella. The spice was provided by the Chirq Council, best known as the Red Circle Gang, but Vuul Sarlin and his men ignored everything about the identity of the ryll smugglers. The warehouse was managed by Jaylon Geissler, the right-hand of Vuul Sarlin.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] the Corellian Security Force started an investigation against the ryll smuggling ring following the increase of spice traffic in Kor Vella. A spacer working for Lieutenant Cope questioned a local spice addict known as Menchi Lerann. The man revealed that he bought his ryll from Vuul Sarlin and Jaylon Geissler. The spacer later interrogated Geissler but the spice dealer obviously refused to collaborate. The spacer therefore entered the ryll warehouse, fought the guards and started to destroy crates of spice. Jaylon Geissler reluctantly accepted to give Vuul Sarlin's current location. The spacer then defeated Vuul Sarlin and forced him to reveal everything he knew about the ryll smuggling ring.[1] The CorSec investigation eventually led to the disbandment of the Chirq Council.[3]

Behind the scenes

The Ryll Warehouse 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.[4] The Ryll Warehouse was added to the game with the update named "Chapter 1: The Corellian Captives," published on June 8, 2006.[5]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "CorSec Case Files: Ryll Smuggling Ring" on Corellia
  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.
