―Peawp R'dawc, to a spacer[2]

Vaigon Shinn was a male Nikto chief mugger who operated on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] Shinn and his band of muggers was responsible for stealing ID cards from people in Mos Eisley. Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt's combat expert Peawp R'dawc tasked a spacer to eliminate Vaigon Shinn in his hideout.[2] A short time later, Sleash, a thug who used to do business with Vaigon Shinn, went into hiding in Vaigon Shinn's Hideout after the crime boss Faeto placed a death mark on his partner Untas.[3]

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.
