Vreni Island was a small island in a southern sea on Corellia. A small settlement on the island also bore the name of Vreni Island.
Description[]
The Vreni Island settlement was a prime tourist location, where people could stay at a luxurious hotel or dine at outdoor cafes. A notable attraction within the settlement was the outdoor Grand Theater of Vreni Island.[2] Outside the settlement was a dense forest and a beautiful beach.
History[]
As the Galactic Civil War escalated after the Battle of Yavin, the city eventually became a Rebel Alliance stronghold.[3]
In 1 ABY,[4] Vreni Island hosted a large Life Day celebration. A group of Wookiees, including Kkatamik, traveled to the city in order to spread the ideals of Life Day.[5]
Corran Horn and Mirax Terrik Horn kept a hologram of the island in their home.[6]
Inhabitants[]
Karrek Flim, Venthan Chassu, and Vinya Maysor were residents or visitors of the city after the Battle of Yavin.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Tyrena appeared in the video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[7] The name Vreni Island refers to both the geographical island and the settlement on the island.[1] In the game, Vreni Island is a permanent stronghold for the Rebel Alliance.[3] With the release of the "Publish 11.5" on December 14, 2004, Vreni Island was the host of the yearly in-game event known as the Wookiee Life Day.[8] The Life Day event was later completely revamped and moved to other cities the subsequent years.[9]

- ↑ 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.
