Scientific Galactica was a media publication in the years preceding the Clone Wars that dealt with science-related topics.[1] Toward the end of the Galactic Empire's reign, it claimed to be "the galaxy's leading scientific journal." It employed over 300 researchers and writers, most of which were trained in self-defense and survival.[2]
In 1 ABY,[3] a number of its researchers were lost when attacked by creatures in the wild on Tatooine. Following this catastrophe, hunters were employed to ensure that such places of research were kept clear of dangerous creatures.[2]

Notes and references

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Terminal Mission: "Tatooine Scientific Defense"
- ↑ 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.
