Biography

"It seems to have pretty impressive healing qualities, but I haven't isolated its exact function. What I do know is that it appears that the Black Sun want a piece of the action."
―Tover Blackmoor, about the spice[1]

The Black Sun bunker.

After the Battle of Yavin, Tover Blackmoor worked for the Black Sun, one of the most powerful criminal syndicate in the galaxy, and operated out of a Black Sun bunker on Naboo's moon of Rori. During that time, the Black Sun discovered that the Rebel Alliance was smuggling and hoarding a new kind of spice.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the Black Sun acquired a sample of this new spice after the smuggler Cal Handro crash-landed on Rori while transporting it. Tover Blackmoor analyzed the spice and discovered that it was nothing like any other spice available on the marker. The Black Sun leaders therefore decided to obtain more spice but they attracted the attention of a group of spacers who were looking for Cal Handro, the missing pilot. The spacers attacked the Black Sun bunker and eventually forced Blackmoor to reveal everything he knew about the pilot and the new spice.[1]

  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.
