- "I'm a Rebel. Judging by the look in your eye, I'd say you are too, eh? Yeah, I'm a good judge of character. Anyway, as you were asking - I'm looking for a new place to hide out in case the long arm of the Empire comes down on us."
- ―Daiv Dekven, to a spacer
Daiv Dekven was a male Human scout in the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War.[1] In 1 ABY,[2] Dekven was wounded on Dantooine while searching for a new place to hide in case of discovery by the Empire. He had to recover in a hospital at a pirate outpost. At the outpost, he met a spacer who was willing to check out the Mokk Stronghold for him, to see if it was still occupied by Dantari or could be used by the Rebellion.[1]
Behind the scenes[]

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Herald NPC: "Daiv Dekven" on Dantooine
- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies 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.
