- "One of their leaders, a crimelord, is taking charge and instructing his cronies to cause havoc on our beloved Space Station. There is no telling what terrible feats they are capable of."
- ―Rydel Delan, to a spacer
Genesis Red was a male crime lord, leader of the eponymous criminal organization during the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, he participated in the gang's occupation of portions of the lower levels of Tansarii Point Station, a space station located above Ord Mantell, in the Bright Jewel system.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] the renegades were planning to sabotage Tansarii Point Station. They managed to broke through the outer hull of the station, creating a very dangerous situation for its inhabitants.[2] Fortunately, their plans were thwarted by spacers working for Rydel Delan, Tansarii Point's brawling master. A large number of their thugs and saboteurs were killed by the spacers and agents of the Tansarii Point Station authorities.[3] Genesis Red himself was amongst those killed by the hired spacers, as requested by Rydel Delant to definitely eliminate the criminal syndicate.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Randomly generated depiction of Genesis Red.
Genesis Red was a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[2] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] Genesis Red was added to the game as part of the "New Player Tutorial," introduced with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[5]
Genesis Red should be killed by the player as part of a quest given by Rydel Delan. This NPC had no canon species as he respawned with a random appearance each time he was killed. While he could also respawn as a female, Rydel Delan stated Genesis Red was a male.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 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.
