"I do enjoy visiting the Adventurers' Guildhall. It's still quite new to Aurilia, but we expect it to thrive and grow in the coming years. Anyone seeking adventure should visit the guildhall from time to time. You shall most assuredly find that which you seek."
Rohak, to a spacer[3]

The Adventurers' Guildhall was a building in the township of Aurilia on the planet Dathomir during the Galactic Civil War. It was built after the reconstruction of the village, following the battle of Aurilia,[2] in 1 ABY.[1] It was a meeting place for spacers seeking adventure.[3]

After the Battle of Yavin, various representatives of several factions, including the Galactic Empire, Alliance to Restore the Republic,[4] and the Lok Revenants, visited the guildhall hoping to hire experienced adventurers and spacers for dangerous missions.[5] These representatives included Hirael Chindiaye, Imperial Major Appleton,[4] Nym's Envoy,[5] and a Corellia University teaching assistant.[6]

Many heroic events that took place all around the galaxy indirectly began at the guildhall, including the Tusken Raider Invasion of Mos Espa, the the thwarted escape of Axkva Min from the Chamber of Banishment, the Battle of Nym's Factory Compound,[7] the capture of the Star Destroyer Blackguard,[8] and the defeat of the Cult of Exar Kun.[9]

Notes and references[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 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.
