History

"I'm just a guest here. You'll need to speak to Captain Quellium if you need something from this office."
―Trezya Nenei, to a spacer[2]

The Wideband Temp Agency was as a front company for Rebel recruiters on Talus by the time following the Battle of Yavin. It was located in a building in Dearic that served as the office of Captain Vayde Quellium.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] Trezya Nenei, a representative of the anti-Imperial movement known as the Aggregate Civil Liberties Organization, visited the office in order to negotiate the integration of the A.C.L.O. in the Rebel Alliance.[2] In the meantime, CorSec officer Dathnaeya Loessin sent a spacer to the office to work with Captain Quellium because she wanted to learn more about the ideologies and practices of the Empire and the Rebellion.[1]

Behind the scenes

The Wideband Temp Agency appeared in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] The Wideband Temp Agency was added to the game as part of the "Crisis of Allegiance" arc with the release of "Chapter 2: The Talus Incident," on August 1, 2006.[5]

  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Legacy Quest: "Rebel Investigation" on Talus
  3. ↑ 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.
