Rrynt'vor was a male Nautolan warrior who lived during the Galactic Civil War. After the Battle of Yavin, Overlord Rrynt'vor was the overseer of the Rak'qua, a tribe of bellicose Nautolan warriors that had taken control of Station Gamma, an asteroid-carved space station in the Bright Jewel system. Usually wearing a chitin armor, he led his men from his base deep down in the asteroid station. In the deepest cave, Rrynt'vor kept his pet, a giant carax named Ageaughu.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] a war erupted between the Rak'qua and the Car'das from neighboring Tansarii Point Station.[1] Nevertheless, Officer Antom Moria later discovered the involvement of a local arms dealer in the outbreak of the conflict and was finally able through negotiation to convince both parties that the war was meaningless.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Rrynt'vor appeared in the 2003 video 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.[4] Rrynt'vor was added to the game as part of the "New Player Tutorial", introduced with the release of the "Publish 25", a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[5] Rrynt'vor was not involved in any quest and was only briefly mentioned in few conversations.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies: Starter Kit — Station Gamma
- ↑ 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.
