"Oldksam can help you. He is hiding out in the Krayt Cult cave."
Taibela, to a bounty hunter[1]

The Krayt Cult Cave was a cave in the desert near Mos Eisley on Tatooine.[1] During the Galactic Civil War, it was the home of the Krayt Cult that worshiped krayt dragons.[2]

History[]

"Heh, heh. You were lucky to get through those cultists. Make sure you return those poison glands to Tori."
Bib Fortuna, to a spacer[3]

After the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, the Krayt cultists inhabited the cave. They worshiped a large krayt dragon skull in the depth of the cave.[1]

Interior of the Krayt Cult Cave.

In 1 ABY,[4] Tori Radeen asked a spacer working for Jabba the Hutt to go into the cave and bring her the poison glands of bone gnashers that lived in the cave. She used the glands to create a new poison for use by Jabba.[2] Around the same time, the Rodian Oldksam was hiding inside the cave because he thought the crime boss Faeto wanted to have him assassinated. A bounty hunter tracked Oldksam down to the cave but only questioned him about a man known as Untas, Faeto's real target.[1] In the meantime, Officer Ellis Arrison ordered a young cadet to attack Krayt Cultists in their cave as part of his officer combat training.[5]

In the same year, the Trandoshan Jessk was also found and killed in this cave by a spacer who wanted to collect the bounty placed on Jessk's head.[6]

Behind the scenes[]

The Krayt Cult Cave appeared in the 2003 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[7] The Krayt Cult Cave was added to the game as part of the "Legacy Quest" with the release of the "Publish 25", a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[8]

In the cut quest "Cult of the Krayt," Brannix Tzg'ada would have tasked a spacer with eliminating Krayt cultists in the Krayt Cult Cave.[9]

  4. 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.
