The Talus Imperial Outpost, also known as the Imperial Military Outpost, was a major installation of the Galactic Empire on the Twin World of Talus. From above, the Talus Imperial Outpost resembled the Imperial crest.[1]
History[]
During the Galactic Civil War, the populations of the planets of the Corellian sector were sympathetic towards the cause of the Rebel Alliance. The Empire had therefore placed well-maintained fortified garrisons on these worlds, including the Imperial Outpost on Talus, in order to repress any uprising before it could take place.[1]
After the Battle of Yavin, the Imperial Navy special unit Black Epsilon was stationed at the outpost in order to counter Rebel activity in the Corellian system. Black Epsilon officers included Hakasha Sireen and Prisk Kith'Vys.[2]
In 1 ABY,[3] Imperial forces launched an attack from the Talus outpost to Corellia where they fought the Rebel 8th Division.[4]
Other Imperial personnel stationed at the outpost after the Battle of Yavin included Ceth Laike, Gravin Attal, Lethin Bludder, Officer Edgar, Staff Sergeant Rothax, and Xalox Guul.[5]

- ↑ 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.
