Vreni Island

Edit
VreniIsland

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]

  4. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
