Shifty Prince

OnALegendsArticle

"The first thing I need is on a freighter called the Shifty Prince. It is carrying a load of phasotron radium and is in the Naboo system right now."
―Droz[1]

The Shifty Prince was a light freighter in use during the Galactic Civil War.

History

In 1 ABY,[2] the Shifty Prince was transporting a load of phasotron radium in the Naboo system when it was forced to stop by an independent spacer in a heavily armed ship. The spacer, who had been hired by the station master of the Dantooine Space Station, boarded the freighter and stole the phasotron radium.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Shifty Prince 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 Shifty Prince was added to the game with the release of the expansion pack Jump to Lightspeed on October 27, 2004. It was the first target of a mission that was available to players when communicating with the Dantooine Space Station. The second target was the freighter Bez'ox Mentzz, the third the Lord's Mistress.[1]

  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.
