- "If you get to the lower levels find a slave named Akkus. He's been bragging that he knows how to get access to the security areas. Tell him I sent you and find out if he's telling the truth."
- ―Noro Bok, to a spacer
Akkus Meik was a male individual who lived on Corellia during the Galactic Civil War. By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Meik was captured by the Corellian slavers and enslaved in the Corellian Slaver Bunker near Tyrena.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] a spacer infiltrated the bunker to find evidence of the slaver operations for the Corellian Security Force. Akkus Meik agreed to help the spacer to access to the detention areas of the bunker. Thanks to Meik's assistance, the spacer was able to explore all the areas of the bunker and eventually broadcasted the slavers' records on the CorSec emergency request channels.[1] Dozens of CorSec agents quickly moved to the slaver bunker and freed all the slaves.[3]

Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit — Legacy Quest: "Incriminating Evidence" on Corellia
- ↑ 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.
