Tanc mites were insects native to the jungle moon Yavin 4.

Characteristics

These creatures had six legs, two arms that ended in claws and two antennae. Tanc mite hives were ruled by a queen.[1] Tanc mites wre scavengers eating carrion. They were covered with a rock-hard shell that protects against electricity, fire, and most physical damage.[4]

History

In 1 ABY,[5] a small population of tanc mites populated the atrium of Tansarii Point Station. The Jedi Nos'lyn tasked an aspiring Jedi to eliminate these tanc mites in order to train him to fight in the ways of the Force.[6]

  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.
