Valarian hackers' bunker

OnALegendsArticle

"They broke in, hacked my system, downloaded everything, and left a virus behind that wiped out my entire mainframe. Lady Valarian was behind it. The hackers were working for her."
―Romo Vax, to a spacer[1]

The Valarian hackers' bunker was an outpost on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine used by hackers in the criminal organization known as the Valarian Syndicate during the time of the Galactic Civil War. It was located a short distance south of the town of Wayfar, and west of Romo Vax's hideout.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] the bunker was attacked by Bib Fortuna's henchmen because a Sennex spy known as Romo Vax claimed that the Valarian hackers had stolen information belonging to Jabba the Hutt.[1]

  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.
