Bocatt

"Bocatts! They can be dangerous customers. They are native to Tatooine."

―Raylen Finn, to a spacer^[2]

Bocatts were predatory creatures native to the desert planet Tatooine.^[3] They had brown, leathery hide and two tusks.^[1] In 1 ABY,^[4] a cargo containing bocatts in cages was shipped to Tansarii Point Station, a space station in the Bright Jewel system. Upon being unloaded on the station, the creatures escaped the cages and attacked a guard. A spacer working for the station's hunter Raylen Finn later rescued the guard and killed a number of beasts.^[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.
