"A very fine valley."
―Surveyor Jo Keslev[2]

The Tulrus Nesting Grounds, also known as the Tulrus Isle, was a landmass on the volcanic planet of Mustafar.

The main inhabitants of the island were the large beasts known as tulruses, which tended to roam in packs for mutual protection. It was rumored that a Sher Kar, a dangerous predator, lived further inland. Blackguard elite minions would travel to this island to battle the Sher Kar in order to attain the rank of Wilder.

Found near the Mensix Mining Facility, it was surrounded by tall mountains connected by a small landmass near the old ruins to the east of the planet.

In 1 ABY,[3] a spacer visited the area and collected a Malevolent bowcaster.[4]

  3. ↑ 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.
