Biography[]
- " Well the thing is, I don't actually remember where the hideout is. I thought it was here in Doaba Guerfel, so I came here...again...to look for it...again. But still can't find it. It's a really well hidden hideout. Unless it's someplace else. Though it's probably still well hidden."
- ―Strilath Farles, to a spacer
Strilath Farles was a lieutenant in the Meatlump gang, a Corellian band of anti-technology thugs. After the Battle of Yavin, he was leading a group of Meatlumps based on the planet Talus. Farles had relocated from Corellia to Talus since he was engaged in a violent conflict with a group of Ragtag criminals led by Gramo Murah.[1]
In 1 ABY,[3] the Meatlumps on Talus attacked Sul Prine's house near the city of Dearic and smashed several speeder bikes. When Vani Korr, a Corellia Times reporter who was investigating the Meatlumps, learned of this attack, she tasked a spacer to investigate. The spacer met Sul Prine and then used a map lost by one of the Meatlumps during the attack to localize their camp. The adventurer attacked the camp, killing some Meatlumps in the process, and forced the others to reveal the identity of their leader: Strilath Farles.[1]
In the meantime, Strilath Farles was on Corellia.[1] The man had traveled to the city of Doaba Guerfel in order to search the Meatlump Hideout; as he did not manage to remember its location.[2] Also looking for the Meatlump Hideout, the spacer confronted Strilath Farles in Doaba Guerfel. Defeated, the criminal accepted to exchange information with the spacer if the latter accepted to rid him of some Ragtags.[1] The spacer thus attacked the Ragtag Base in the Nomad Mountains and killed Gramo Murah and his goons. When the spacer returned to Doaba Guerfel, Strilath Farles still ignored the location of the Meatlump Hideout and preferred to flee rather than suffering the wrath of the spacer.[2]

- ↑ 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.
