Turnik'otta

OnALegendsArticle

Turnik'otta was a thug who lived on Naboo during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, Turnik'otta was sought by the Royal Naboo Security Forces.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] a spacer working for the criminal Athok Dinvar escorted Turnik'otta near the city of Keren, killing two RSF security guards to protect the thug.[1]

Every possible depictions of Turnik'otta

Turnik'otta was a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Because Turnik'otta spawned under the generic "thug" template, their species, gender and appearance were randomized under one of a 120 possible depictions during each server reset.[1]

Turnik'otta was involved in the fourth quest given by Athok Dinvar on Naboo. However, these quests were bugged and lacked any text dialogue strings, rendering it impossible to have derived much context from them.[1][4] For this reason, Athok Dinvar's quests were deactivated by the developers relatively early in the game's lifespan, removing Turnik'otta from the game as a result.[5]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Static Quest: "Athok Dinvar" on Naboo
  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.
