Strehkforce

"Those Strehkforce mercenaries are pretty tough."
―Vance Groten, to a spacer[1]

The Strehkforce was a mercenary unit during the Galactic Civil War. They had a camp in the Gallo Mountains, on the planet Naboo.[1]

History

"A group of mercenaries from the area, Strehkforce mercenaries. They're commanded by Evan Strehk and Maris Fahrs. Robbery isn't usually their thing, but for some reason they wanted that beacon."
―Vance Groten, to a spacer[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Strehkforce mercenaries went to Dee'ja Peak and stole a Stonewall Labs security beacon from Vance Groten. Spacers who were working with Groten later went to the mercenary camp, in the mountains, to recover it. The spacers attacked the Strehkforce mercenaries and killed their leaders Evan Strehk and Maris Fahrs.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Strehkforce 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 Strehkforce 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.[4]

  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.
