Biography

"I was one of the grunts stationed at this forward post before it all began. Watched my whole squad get sick, die and then stand up hungry."
―TR-522, to a spacer[2]

After the Battle of Yavin, stormtrooper TR-522 was stationed on the planet Dathomir. He was based in a small forward post that was part of the defensive system of the secret Imperial Research and Prison Facility. TR-522 used to wear a black Imperial Spec Ops Officer armor.[2]

In 1 ABY,[3] an accident took place in the Imperial Research and Prison Facility. The Blackwing virus that was studied there escaped containment and decimated most of the people in the area, turning them into starving undead creatures.[4] In TR-522's forward post, all the stormtroopers stationed there during the outbreak were infected and turned into zombies. Only TR-522 appeared to be immunized to the virus and barely escaped the undeads by fighting his former fellow strormtroopers with his stun baton.[2]

Camp Delta in the Quarantine Zone of Dathomir.

In response, the Galactic Empire promptly established a Quarantine Zone to contain the infection.[4] The few people who survived the initial virus outbreak, including TR-522,[2] were trapped in the Quarantine Zone. The survivors established camps in order to to repel the regular assaults of the zombies and try to live in safety while waiting for an evacuation.[4] TR-522 took shelter in Camp Delta, his former forward post,[2] along with Imperial Lieutenant Erlem Marh[5] and the Bothan Oona Wran.[6]

Later, a spacer arrived at Camp Delta and delivered a radio to TR-522. The radio was provided by the Imperial pilot Jeb Maris in Camp Alpha who had decided to establish communications between the camps. Once radios were delivered to the five camps in the Quarantine Zone, the survivors were able to safely coordinate high altitude supply drops sent from outside the Quarantine Zone.[1]

  3. ↑ 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.
