Torton Runner

"There is a Hidden Dagger heavy transport entering the system that needs to be eliminated."

The Torton Runner was a heavy freighter owned by the Hidden Daggers pirates during the Galactic Civil War.^[1] In 1 ABY,^[2] the Hidden Daggers obtained sensitive information about Imperial operations on Corellia and planned to deliver the data to the Rebel Alliance. However, the Torton Runner carrying the sensitive information was attacked in the Corellian system by Imperial starfighters led by Prisk Kith'Vys. The Imperial Navy special unit Black Epsilon disabled the Torton Runner's engines and captured the ship, thereby securing the data.^[1]

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 ^1.3 ^1.4 ^1.5 Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed — Space Quest: "Capture the Torton Runner" in the Corellian system
↑ 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.
