"That's interesting. I wonder if the Cantina reference was a hint, not a brush off. Go there and check it out. I think that my buddy Trace is in there."
―Han Solo, to a spacer[1]

Trace was a Human male who lived during the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, he lived on Tansarii Point Station, a space station located above Ord Mantell, in the Bright Jewel system.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] his friend Han Solo arrived on the station with Chewbacca and a spacer aboard the Millennium Falcon. The ship needed repairs after a skirmish with Imperial forces but the staff of the station was not eager to help. Trace informed the spacer that the bounty hunter Boba Fett was present on the station, with Solo on his top target list, and that was the reason why nobody would help the smuggler. The spacer therefore rushed to find replacement parts for the Millennium Falcon while Solo and Chewbacca hurried to repair the starship. They finally left Tansarii Point Station before Boba Fett could even notice their presence on the station.[1]

Behind the scenes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Quest: "Get the Millennium Falcon Working" on Tansarii Point Station
  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.
