"I'll start with the Skaak Tippers compound."
―A spacer, to Hugo Eckener[2]

The Skaak Tipper Compound was an underground facility located a short distance north of the city of Theed in the Western Great Grass Plains on the Mid Rim world of Naboo.

History

"Good. Now one last thing, I think. Get me some weapon research notes from their researchers. I want to see what new toys the Skaak Tippers are developing."
―Jorgellansel[3]

During the time of the Galactic Civil War, sometime following the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, the criminal organization known as the Skaak Tippers used the compound as a base.[1]

In 1 ABY,[4] Sergeant Bragg and the RSF Intelligence Division investigated the Skaak Tipper Compound while searching for the responsibles of a terrorist attack in Theed.[1] In the meantime, the compound was attacked by Darkwalker spacers led by Jorgellansel.[3] Later, the wanted murderer Hunnos Jarkey briefly took refuge in the Skaak Tipper Compound after he escaped the Royal Naboo Security Forces.[5]

Behind the scenes

The Skaak Tipper Compound was a location 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.[6] The Skaak Tipper Compound was added to the game as part of the "Legacy Quest" with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[7]

  4. ↑ 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.
