"Boiling showers and razor-sharp grass are a joy to experience."
Lieutenant Moss Shelby[6]

The Agrilat Region, also known as the Agrilat Swamp, the Crystal Swamps or simply Agrilat, was a region located on the northern continent of the planet Corellia. Situated between the northern sea and the Orik's Spine mountain range, the region was largely composed of swamps filled with crystalline plants like razor grass. It was a hot spot for illegal swoop races, such as the Agrilat Swamp Circuit. The Dragonbane circuit was also located in this region.[2]

The swamps were the site of a famous race between Dengar, a cult hero of the professional racing circuit, and another youth named Han Solo, from the private circuit. Tired of constantly being compared to Solo, Dengar challenged his rival to a winner-takes-all race through the dangerous swamps. During the race, Solo's stabilizer fin became entangled with Dengar's, causing Dengar to lose control and crash.[7]

At some point before 29 BBY, Agrilat was also known for producing mouth-loosening drugs.[8]

In 1 ABY,[9] wild creatures from the Agrilat Swamp wandered into more civilized areas of Corellia and threatened local farmers. Lieutenant Moss Shelby of CorSec's Regiment Twelve therefore hired a group of spacers to hunt the animals.[6]

There is some discrepancy as to whether Agrilat is a region on Corellia or a planet unto its own. The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion and Star Wars: Rebellion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide place Agrilat as a planet in the Moddell sector of the Outer Rim, Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary indicates it is a planet in the Corellian sector, Star Wars Gamer 6 indicates that it is a city on Corellia, Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back simply states it is a swamp located in the Corellian system, and Star Wars Galaxies indicates Agrilat is a swamp on Corellia itself. The Essential Atlas has one reference to the crystal swamps comparing them to other natural beauties found on Corellia.

  9. 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.
