Biography

"This dar'kel spice should do the trick. Go gift it to Sleash before you ask him about Untas, and he should tell you anything you want. He has a weakness for this particular spice."
―Oldksam, to a bounty hunter[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, Sleash was known as a drug addict and resided in Mos Eisley. He was friend with the thug Untas and was acquainted with Oldksam and Taibela. Sleash also used to do business with Vaigon Shinn, the leader of the Shinn muggers.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Untas was indebted to the crime boss Faeto. When Faeto placed a death mark on him, Oldksam, Sleash and Untas went into hiding. Sleash hided in Vaigon Shinn's Hideout. Nevertheless, Taibela stayed in Mos Eisley where she was questioned by a bounty hunter. The bounty hunter persuaded her to reveal where Oldksam was hiding and, after finding him, persuaded Oldksam to reveal Sleash's location. The bounty hunter finally arrived at Vaigon Shinn's Hideout and questioned Sleash. The bounty hunter gave Sleash his favorite spice and convinced him to talk. Sleash was upset that Untas went into hiding without him and gave his former partner's location, the White Thranta Shipping offices. The bounty hunter later found Untas, and finally killed him.[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.
