"Ok, the cave and very likely your grave can be found here."
―Watto, to a spacer[2]

The Squill Cave was a cavern located somewhere in the deserts of Tatooine and was home to many squill beasts.

History

"I am able to watch after myself. These cold, lifeless walls do not disturb me any longer. Far too long have I lived here in solitude. I have become stoic to its effects."
―A hermit, to a spacer[3]

During the Galactic Civil War, a Rodian hermit lived deep within the caves and recruited a spacer to help him save Tatoonine. This spacer would eventually become the Hero of Tatooine.[3] After the Battle of Yavin, a commoner in Anchorhead attempted to lure spacers into going in the cave to kill some squills and collect squill hide.[4]

In 1 ABY,[5] a spacer also visited the cave while searching for a lost R2 unit diagnostic controller that was wanted by both Imperial Commander Barrezz and Rebel Captain Bastra.[2]

  5. ↑ 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.
