Biography[]

"There is something about performing that people find familiar. Many trust us with secrets that they wouldn't tell their closest friends. I have never been able to understand why, actually."
―Anetia Kah'ryn, to an entertainer[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, Anetia Kah'ryn resided in Mos Eisley and worked as an entertainer at the local cantina.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Kah'ryn was very concerned about criminal and Tusken activity around Mos Eisley. She identified several individuals who might have useful information and were known to frequent the cantinas of Tatooine. Around the same, the Twi'lek started to teach a group of entertainer trainees who had just arrived on Tatooine. Kah'ryn therefore tasked her trainees to establish themselves as performers in the Mos Espa Cantina, in the Anchorhead Tavern and in the Bestine Hotel to get information. Anetia, a performer herself, found that patrons were more willing to divulge information after they have been entertained. The entertainers were very skillful and enjoyed great success among the consumers. Moreover, they convinced three people, Dorn Gestros, Crix Yarrow and Borra Setas, to reveal what they knew about recent criminal and Tusken activity in Mos Eisley. Anetia Kah'ryn later sent the entertainers to a party full of very important people held by Rauk Oenish in Mos Eisley. They discovered that Jabba the Hutt was inciting the Tusken Raiders to attack Mos Eisley in order to pressurize the mayor of Mos Eisley and eventually take control of the city. Anetia Kah'ryn and her trainees revealed their discoveries to Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt.[1] The plot was finally foiled by a group of marksmans led by Purvis Arrison who eliminated the Tusken vanguard unit in Junktown.[3]

  2. 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.
