Athok Dinvar was a Human male criminal who lived on Naboo during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, he resided in the city of Keren, along with his boss, Kritus Morven.[1] The latter has a strong rivalry with the Hutt crime lord Borvo.[2] In 1 ABY,[3] Dinvar hired a spacer to carry several illegal tasks, leading to numerous fights with Borvo's henchmen and the Royal Naboo Security Forces. These missions included the killing of one of Borvo's thug to recover spice belonging to "Mr. Morven", escorting a slicer who was attacked by Borvo's men and protecting a thug named thug Turnik'otta against RSF security guards.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Athok Dinvar was a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4]
Athok Dinvar could be found in the city of Keren on Naboo where he originally gave four completable missions to players. However, these quests were bugged and lacked any text dialogue strings, rendering it impossible to have derived much context from them.[1][5] For this reason, these quests were deactivated by the developers relatively early in the game's lifespan. Athok Dinvar remained in Keren, but would only tell players who interacted with him that he did not have time for them.[6]

- ↑ 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.
