Biography[]
- "Okay, Oldksam can help you. He is hiding out in the Krayt Cult cave. Just give him this flower and he will know that you are from me."
"Dried flowers? How romantic." - ―Taibela and a bounty hunter
After the Battle of Yavin, Oldksam resided in Mos Eisley with his fiancée, Taibela. They were acquainted with the thugs Untas and Sleash.[1]
In 1 ABY,[2] Untas was indebted to the crime boss Faeto. When Faeto placed a death mark on him, Oldksam, Sleash and Untas went into hiding. Taibela stayed in Mos Eisley, where she was questioned by a bounty hunter. The bounty hunter convinced her to reveal where Oldksam was hiding. The bounty hunter then tracked Oldksam, who was hiding in the Krayt Cult Cave to elude Faeto. When the bounty hunter told him that the death mark only targeted Untas, Oldksam agreed with giving Sleash's location. The bounty hunter later found Sleash, then Untas, and finally killed the latter.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit — Bounty Hunter Quest: "Faeto's Job" on Tatooine
- ↑ 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.
