Biography

"That so-called friend of mine just left me to fed for my self while he hides out. Protect him from the bounty hunter he said. Protect yourself I say."
―Sleash, to a bounty hunter[2]

Untas was an elite Black Sun mercenary[3] who usually wore a Bounty Hunter Armor. After the Battle of Yavin, Untas resided in Mos Eisley. He was friend with Sleash and was acquainted with Oldksam and Taibela.[2]

In 1 ABY,[1] Untas was indebted to the crime boss Faeto. When Faeto placed a death mark on him, Untas, Oldksam and Sleash went into hiding. Untas joined the White Thranta Shipping Company,[2] a front for illegal activities of Jabba the Hutt's criminal organization.[4]

Nevertheless, Taibela stayed in Mos Eisley where she was questioned by a bounty hunter. The bounty hunter persuaded her to reveal where Oldksam was hiding and, after finding him, convinced Oldksam to reveal Sleash's location. The bounty hunter later questioned Sleash and gave him his favorite spice. The drug addict was upset that Untas went into hiding without him and therefore gave his former partner's location, the White Thranta Shipping offices outside Mos Eisley. The bounty hunter infiltrated the bunker and finally found Untas. After giving Faeto's death mark to Untas, the bounty hunter killed him.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 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.
