Biography[]
- "I am looking to help the Empire."
"Hmm...more like looking to help your own pockets, but I can't be choosey right now. I have some jobs available that don't require a security clearance. Look at this list. What are you interested in?" - ―A spacer and Captain Jasha
After the Battle of Yavin, Captain Jasha was stationed in the Bestine Imperial garrison on Tatooine.[1] He was a friend of Escara Frei, an old woman living in Mos Eisley.[2]
In 1 ABY,[3] Captain Jasha employed an Imperial spacer to complete a number of tasks for him. He was worried that Rebels were using banthas to transport supplies, as this made it harder for the Imperials to track their smuggling operations. He had his Imperial operative kill as many banthas as possible, so that the Rebel's would have to resort to using speeders. The Imperial successfully killed banthas in the surrounding area, and was awarded 3,750 credits for his part in the job. Fortunately for Jasha, killing the banthas yielded positive results. The Rebels in Bestine began using speeders, making them easier to locate.[4]
Jasha had more problems, however. The Rebel cause was growing significantly on Tatooine with each passing day. He grew concerned with the number of families providing supplies to new Rebel recruits. Jasha had his Imperial operative locate a terrorist encampment in the nearby hills surrounding Bestine. The spacer successfully located the camp, and began taking out the insurgents, one by one. He searched their bodies for ID Cards, which would help provide insight as to which families were aiding the Rebellion. After finding five ID Cards, the Imperial reported back to Captain Jasha who then compiled a list of the suspected suppliers. He reported this information to Imperial Intelligence so that they could begin survaillence on the suspected families. For carrying out this dangerous task, Jasha awarded his operative with 3,700 credits.[5]
Jasha had one more mission for his Imperial operative. He learned that the Valarians recently recovered an X-wing starfighter, which they planned to sell back to the Rebels. Jasha sent the Imperial operative to infiltrate the Valarian Depot, and plant a transmitter on the X-Wing. This would allow Imperial Intelligence to track the X-Wing to the the new Rebel base. The spacer once again succeeded, and was awarded with another 3,750 credits for his hard work.[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.
