"Well...that bully has been scaring away my customers and making a mess. He really needs to be taught a lesson.
I'll see what I can do.
Thank you so much! I don't like the way he looks at me."
―Tiarsis and a spacer[1]

Ryzer was a Human male who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] he frequented the cantina on Tansarii Point Station, a space station in the Bright Jewel system. Considered a bully, the cantina owner Tiarsis asked a spacer working for Rydel Delan, Tansarii Point's brawling master, to help her intimidate the man, as he was scaring away customers and making her feel uncomfortable. While doing so, the spacer discovered that a group of renegades calling themselves the Genesis Red was planning to sabotage the station.[1]

Behind the scenes

Ryzer was a non-player character 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] Ryzer was added to the game as part of the "New Player Tutorial," introduced with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[4] In the game, his name was only seen as "Cantina Bully."[1] However, the game's creature database appeared to give him the full designation as "Ryzer (Cantina Bully)."[5]

  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.
