"They didn't catch me. It's only cheating if they notice you doing it."
―Zeelius Kraymunder, to a spacer[1]

Zeelius Kraymunder was a Human male con artist who lived on Rori during the time of the Galactic Civil War.

Biography[]

"You know how it is -- scare some children with a couple of realistic remote-control spider-droids, and stories start spreading. Jaleela Bindoo may know about art, but toss a couple of fake dead spiders in front of her and she loses all reason."
―Zeelius Kraymunder, to a spacer[1]

After the Battle of Yavin, Zeelius Kraymunder resided in city of Narmle, on Naboo's moon of Rori.[1]

In 1 ABY,[2] Kraymunder convinced Jaleela Bindoo, the organizer of the Narmle Arts Gala, that a nest of hermit spiders threatened the upcoming gala. Terrified by spiders, Bindoo accepted to fund Kraymunder to eliminate the creatures. The crook then hired a spacer to kill a hermit spider and collect the carcass. Zeelius Kraymunder later pretended that the spacer killed at least fifty spiders with a thermal detonator and brought back the dead queen.[1]

Later the same year, Zeelius Kraymunder paid the same spacer to rescue his sabacc partner from infuriated card players who had caught him cheating.[1]

  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.
