Trilom gas released from the soil of Musafar
- "All of us know the dangers of trilom and none of us want to live like that. Once the trilom poisoning takes effect, everything we once were is dead."
- ―Chief Armstrong
Trilom was a dangerous gas. It built in pockets below the surface of the volcanic world on Mustafar and was a constant source of danger for the local miners. Once inhaled, it caused massive aggression, delusions and paranoia. After that, it led to a slow and painful death. Under the influence of trilom, the poisoned beings could travel a long ways off, fighting everything they saw until they died.[1]
Miners of Mustafar were equipped with breathing gear to protect against the trilom. But despite the gear and training, it still happened that miners or even whole mining crews got caught without their gear and suffered from trilom poisoning. As there was no known cure, the poisoned miners were killed by the Mustafarians to relieve them from their pain and avoid any harm they might have done to others.[1]
In 1 ABY,[2] Chief Armstrong lost three of his crews to trilom poisoning. After he and his colleagues had to kill two mining crews, he could not stand killing another group of his miners. So he paid a spacer to go to the poisoned miner's camp and end their suffering. All miners were equipped with homing devices to help find them in case of an emergency, so the spacer could use the tracking computer to track their locations.[1]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3
Star Wars Galaxies: Trials of Obi-Wan — Quest: "Miner Madness" on Mustafar
- ↑ 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.
