Thanus March

OnALegendsArticle

Thanus March was a Corellian freelance spacer who lived during the Galactic Civil War.[1] After the Battle of Yavin, March spent most of his time traveling the galaxy and did not often come back to Corellia.[2] In 1 ABY,[3] Thanus March returned to Corellia after a long stay on Naboo.[2] However, upon arriving on Corellia, March discovered that a band of Hutt gangsters were messing around near his home and harassing his friends. The spacer thus decided to eliminate the Hutt boss and recruited a group of freelance enforcers to deal with the cronies.[1] Around the same time, Thanus March also hired a bunch of spacers to deal with wild creatures that had overrun his family's land as he had to leave Corellia again to deliver freight due on Talus.[2]

  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.
