Socorro Freight was a shipping company based on the planet Corellia during the Cold War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. They maintained a building in the Artisan Arrivals Court of Coronet City's Blastfield Shipyards on Corellia.[1] In 3640 BBY,[2] the building was used as a Republic Military base during the Battle of Corellia in the Galactic War between the Empire and the Republic.[1] The shipping company shared the name with the planet Socorro.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
Socorro Freight was first mentioned in the 2011 BioWare–LucasArts video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, where its building is a class-restricted phase for the Jedi Knight class. However, the building itself features a sign that reads "Galactic Shipping" in Aurebesh, and a smaller sign with what appears to be upside-down Aurebesh letters that do not form a coherent word.[1]

Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In? on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) and Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia establish that the Battle of Ilum and the end of Act III for the class storylines of Star Wars: The Old Republic occur in late 3640 BBY and prior to the events of The Old Republic: Annihilation, which is also set in 3640 BBY per The Essential Reader's Companion. Annihilation establishes that the Treaty of Coruscant collapsed approximately eighteen months prior, or in 3641 BBY, and as Act III occurs after the treaty's collapse, the act begins sometime between 3641 BBY and 3640 BBY.
