"This is awful! Who will help my family?"
Larence Zaprin, to a medic[1]

The Zaprin family was a Human family that lived on the planet Naboo at the time of the Galactic Civil War. Larence Zaprin, his wife, his daughter Mia and his son Jowres lived in the Zaprin Estate in the remote mountain wilderness of Naboo.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] the family's home was surrounded by sick animals and the siblings Mia und Jowres were attacked and infected with an illness. When Larence sent an urgent request for a doctor, a medic was sent to help the family. The medic was able to create an anti-toxin and cure the infected siblings.[1]

Notes and references

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 SWG logo sm Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Medic Quest: "House Call" on Naboo
  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.
