Tien Wallub was a male Sullustan bartender who lived on Kashyyyk during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, Wallub worked in a cantina in Kachirho.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] a Trandoshan by the name Jessk was catch cheating at sabacc with other customers, including with a friend of the cantina's owner. The owner then decided to take it upon himself to solve the problem and tasked Tien Wallub to place a bounty on Jessk. The bounty was addressed to Imperial Bounty Officer Stren Colo and the Trandoshan was forced to flee Kashyyyk.[1] Jessk was eventually shot down by a bounty hunter on the planet Tatooine.[3]

  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.
