- "Ok, the cave and very likely your grave can be found here."
- ―Watto, to a spacer
The Squill Cave was a cavern located somewhere in the deserts of Tatooine and was home to many squill beasts.
History[]
- "I am able to watch after myself. These cold, lifeless walls do not disturb me any longer. Far too long have I lived here in solitude. I have become stoic to its effects."
- ―A hermit, to a spacer
During the Galactic Civil War, a Rodian hermit lived deep within the caves and recruited a spacer to help him save Tatoonine. This spacer would eventually become the Hero of Tatooine.[3] After the Battle of Yavin, a commoner in Anchorhead attempted to lure spacers into going in the cave to kill some squills and collect squill hide.[4]
In 1 ABY,[5] a spacer also visited the cave while searching for a lost R2 unit diagnostic controller that was wanted by both Imperial Commander Barrezz and Rebel Captain Bastra.[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.
