Biography[]
- "Menchi buys ryll from Vuul. Vuul Sarlin. He's Menchi's friend. Jaylon knows where to find Vuul. Jaylon is another of Menchi's friends. Ask Jaylon how to find Vuul."
- ―Menchi Lerann, to a spacer
By the time following the Battle of Yavin, Vuul Sarlin was leading a group of spice dealers in the city of Kor Vella. Jaylon Geissler served as his right-hand. The group owned a warehouse in Kor Vella to stock the ryll spice distributed in the city. The spice was provided by a gang of ryll smugglers. For security reasons, Vuul Sarlin and his men ignored everything about this ryll smuggling ring, that was in fact the Chirq Council, best known as the Red Circle Gang. They had only one contact among the ryll smugglers, Ladonna Poe, who provided the ryll from a bunker in the Vella plains nearby.[1]
In 1 ABY,[2] the Corellian Security Force started an investigation against the ryll smuggling ring following the increase of spice traffic in Kor Vella. A spacer working for Lieutenant Cope questioned a local spice addict known as Menchi Lerann. The man revealed that he bought his ryll from Vuul Sarlin and Jaylon Geissler. The spacer later interrogated Geissler but the spice dealer obviously refused to collaborate. However, after the spacer started to destroy some spice crates in the ryll warehouse, Jaylon Geissler reluctantly accepted to give Vuul Sarlin's current location: a small camp in the plains outside Kor Vella. The spacer therefore attacked the camp and defeated Vuul Sarlin's guards. Sarlin was forced to reveal everything he knew about the ryll smuggling ring.[1] In return, the spacer agreed with removing Sarlin's name from the smuggling ring's database.[3] The CorSec later assaulted the Ryll Smuggler Bunker and discovered the existence of the Red Circle Gang.[1] The CorSec investigation eventually led to the disbandment of the Chirq Council.[4]

- ↑ 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.
