Biography[]
- "The public health in Mos Eisley is in danger. If we don't get the vermin under control we will lose this city."
- ―Entha Kandela, to a spacer
Entha Kandela was a skilled scout[2] who served as animal-control officer for the city of Mos Eisley, under the orders of Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt. She was severely underfunded by the time of the Battle of Yavin. Because of this, the vermin outside the city walls became a major health hazard.[1] In 1 ABY,[3] she hired an individual to deal with the problem. While affiliated with Jabba the Hutt's criminal organization, the spacer acted on behalf of the Mayor Mikdanyell Guh'rantt.[1] The spacer eliminated a number of womp rats, kreetles, worrts, tempest rills and rockmites for 2,150 credits, satisfying Kandela.[4][5][6][7][8]

- ↑ 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.
