Valarian Strategic Command Bunker

OnALegendsArticle

"Valarian has assembled a team in a pathetic attempt to mount various attacks against me. They have set up strategic command at a secure outpost, but I have discovered the location of that bunker. You shall infiltrate this bunker and take out Valarian's team."
―Jabba the Hutt, to a spacer[1]

The Valarian Strategic Command Bunker was a fortress located on Tatooine during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, the structure was used by Lady Valarian's gang to plan actions against Jabba the Hutt and other enemies. It was located between the Western Dune Sea and the Lowland Basin, northeast of the town of Wayfar and Jabba's Palace. Among the base's occupants were a number of Valarian's armored command enforcers.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Jabba sent a group of spacers to the bunker to eliminate Valarian's command staff. Among those killed in the raid were weaponsmith Arkahn Greystar, slicer Iris Tanada Sinclair, warlord Careem, tactician Fnast Drexler, and assassin Emanon. The spacer succeeded and was rewarded by Jabba.[1]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Quest: "Jabba's Palace : Jabba The Hutt" on Tatooine
  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.
