Zoda Burb

"You're looking for a Corellian man named Zoda Burb. His application says he's "a small businessman engaged in a variety of projects."
―Brantlee Spondoon, to a spacer[1]

Zoda Burb was a Human businessman and con artist who lived on the planet Corellia during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Zoda Burb encountered the Devaronian merchant Midgoss D'labaninaph who had just arrived on Corellia. The con artist swindled the Devaronian and abandoned him in the wilderness without any money. D'labaninaph therefore tried to win the favor of Brantlee Spondoon, the greedy assistant to the Corellian Diktat Daclif Gallamby, with a gift in order to have Zoda Burb punished. The attempt of the Devaronian was unfruitful but ironically inspired Burb who was more successful. The con artist offered a container of Neonan red cheese that extremely delighted Spondoon. The woman thus included the "businessman" in the government's contacts for future reference.[1]

Zoda Burb was a non-player character 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.[3]

  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.
