"The assassin is a Chadra-Fan named Duska Murgo. She's awfully fond of IG assassin droids so I'd keep an eye out for those as well."
Lady Valarian, to a spacer[2]

Duska Murgo was a female Chadra-Fan assassin who lived during the Galactic Civil War. She really appreciated IG-series assassin droids and owned at least one of those droids.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] Murgo was recruited by the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure to assassinate his main rival on Tatooine, Lady Valarian. Jabba was seeking for revenge after Arrud Barsoomu, his right hand enforcer in Mos Eisley, had been killed by members of the Valarian Syndicate. Lady Valarian soon discovered Jabba's plot and tasked a spacer with killing Murgo before. The spacer eventually found the Chadra-Fan with an IG assassin droid near Mos Eisley and attacked them. Duska Murgo was killed during the ensuring firefight.[2]

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.
