History[]
- "I knew you were hungry for information. Which location do you want to hear about? I have information regarding the 'Kimogila Town', and 'Canyon Corsair Stronghold'. They are all interesting places, I assure you."

Once an inhabited town, the city was was overrun by massive Kimogilas, forcing its inhabitants to flee and leaving its structures to waste away. During the Galactic Civil War, many criminals took advantage of this situation to sold pieces of land that they claimed was prime real estate. The victims would then travel to the town and meet their fate at the jaws of Kimogila packs.[1] The spy Talia v'laenya once encountered a spacer in Nym's Stronghold and provided information about Kimogila Town.[2]
After the Battle of Yavin, the town became the scene of fighting between Imperial and Rebel operatives.[3][4] In 1 ABY,[5] a Rebel agent killed the bounty hunter Vekis Kiyanu in Kimogila Town because he was pursuing a personal vendetta against Nien Nunb.[6]
In 1 ABY,[5] Kimogila Town was the place of a meeting organized to negotiate peace between the Sulfur Lake Pirates and Nym's Lok Revenants.[7]

- ↑ 5.0 5.1 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.
