Biography[]
- "Right, here is the plan. You'll need to fight your way in and in the confusion find an enemy uniform. Once you have the enemy uniform, you can give it to the pilot to make an escape."
- ―Wedge Antilles, to a Rebel spacer
Following the battle of Yavin, QQ-463 served as a scout trooper and was stationed in the Detainment Facility of the Imperial Fortress on Yavin 4.[2] In 1 ABY,[1] the Empire captured and imprisoned six Rebel pilots in this facility. During the Remembrance Day festivities of the same year, Alliance Starfighter Corps Officer Wedge Antilles employed a group of loyal Rebel spacers to rescue the pilots. The Rebel operatives attacked the prison facility and killed QQ-463 during the assault. One of the spacers then stole his scout trooper armor so that one of the Rebel pilots could sneak out of the base in the disguise.[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.
