"Beware of dangerous beasts, pirates, confusing mazes and a very large and active volcano."
―The Lok Marathon race coordinator, to a pilot[3]

Mount Chaolt was a massive volcano on the planet of Lok.[1] The pirate Nym later renamed the volcano to Adi's Rest to honor his fellow Adi Gallia,[4] the Jedi Master who fought with him during the Trade Federation invasion of Lok.[5]

History[]

"Yes, there's a great need for liquid filtration supplies throughout the galaxy and the Empire has been trying to corner the market. Fortunately, this volcano produces excellent deposits of one type of coagulant."

Lok Marathon

Pilots racing near Mount Chaolt during the Lok Marathon.

A cave inhabited by a crazy droid engineer during the Galactic Civil War was located in the hearth of the volcano.[2] Contestants of the Lok Marathon had to race through the heights of the volcano.[3]

After the Battle of Yavin, the smuggler Dak Vox had set up camp on the volcano in order to mine rocks containing deposits of raw cationic chemical coagulant.[6] In 1 ABY,[7] an Imperial operative under the orders of Colonel Veers assassinated the Rebel pilot Raphael Mar-Shayal on the slopes of Mount Chaolt.[8] Around the same time, a smuggler shipped contraband to Edwyn who operated on Mount Chaolt.[9]

Behind the scenes[]

The Mount Chaolt was a location 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.[10] The volcano was known both as Mount Chaolt and as Adi's Rest in the game. Mount Chaolt was used in the list of point of interests[1] and during the Lok Marathon[3] while Adi's Rest was only used for the exploration badge awarded to players climbing the volcano.[11]

Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed: Prima Official Game Guide and Star Wars Galaxies: The Total Experience: Prima Official Game Guide identified the volcano "Mount Explosallot". This was corrected in Star Wars Galaxies: The Complete Guide: Prima Official Game Guide.[12]

  7. According to its opening crawl, Star Wars Galaxies was set sometime after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The only precise time indication in the game was given by the character Ruwan Tokai, who referenced the destruction of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin as occurring one year earlier, placing the game sometime around 1 ABY. Later, multiple elements confirmed the placement of the game storyline in 1 ABY. First, The Essential Reader's Companion established that the tie-in novel Star Wars Galaxies: The Ruins of Dantooine took place in 1 ABY. Furthermore, the game expansion Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees was set during the Blockade of Kashyyyk, one year after the Battle of Yavin according to The Star Wars Holiday Special. Additionally, the main scenario of The Nightsister's Revenge from the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game was set over a year before the Battle of Hoth (3 ABY), so around 1.5 ABY. Finally, the reference book Strongholds of Resistance placed the events of Star Wars Galaxies's Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" one year after the Battle of Yavin. Of note, Galaxies's Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" introduced the Battle of Hoth in the game. However, the developers were quite clear that this was only intended to be a completely isolated "Star Wars Moment" without any effect on continuity for the rest of the game.
