"A Droid Farm?? He actually planted droid parts in the ground and expected droids to grow from them? Amazing! I may have to do a story on that guy. I can't believe I called him a Droid Engineer."
Vani Korr, to a spacer[1]

Zorajas Garamin owned a farm on the planet Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. It was located in the Riverlands, near the city of Tyrena. Its owner, the farmer Zorajas Garamin was a very delusional individual who believed he could actually farm droids by planting them in the ground. Unsuccessful, he tried watering them more often, blocking sunlight, using Banthamax 4600-SL fertilizer and even talking nicely to them.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Garamin complained to Corellia Times reporter Vani Korr that his droids were sabotaged. Interested about possible sabotage from the technology-hating Meatlump criminals, Korr dispatched a spacer to investigate the farm. Indeed, the spacer did not find any sabotage which could explain that the droids did not "grow".[1]

Behind the scenes

Zorajas Garamin's farm was a location in the 2003 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game Star Wars Galaxies,[1] prior to the game's closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Zorajas Garamin's farm was added to the game with the update dubbed "Chapter 10: The Search for the Meatlump King," released on June 19, 2008.[4]

  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.
