- "All you have to do is get it out of my vault. The vault security needs to be tested anyway. Good luck!"
- ―Borvo, to a spacer
Borvo's Vault was an underground facility located a short distance south of the city of Moenia in the Paitnnu Wetlands on the Mid Rim world of Naboo.[1]
History[]
- "I defeated the security in your vault."
"I don't believe it! You got through the security? Maybe my hints were too helpful. Well, I owe Jabba 10,000 credits. He told me you'd pull it off. I guess I should have believed him." - ―A spacer and Borvo the Hutt
The interior of Borvo's Vault.
During the time of the Galactic Civil War, sometime following the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, Borvo the Hutt of the Nal Raka Criminal Empire used the compound as vault to store various valuables, including blasters and droid parts. The entrance to the vault was guarded by one of Borvo's dimwitted lackeys. The interior was defended by blastromech droids, B1 and B2 battle droids, IG assassin droids and Murras. To further aid in the security of his vault, Borvo also kept a pet acklay and rancor within the confines of the vault's interior.[1]
In 1 ABY,[2] a spacer managed to compromise the security of the vault to retrieve an Old Republic decentralized autonomy chip droid module. When the spacer reported the news to Borvo, he was incredulous, and remarked that he now owed Jabba Desilijic Tiure 10,000 credits for a bet.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Borvo's Vault was a location in the 2003 massively multiplayer online roleplaying game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided,[1] prior to the game's closure on December 15, 2011.[3] Borvo's Vault was added to the game as part of the "Legacy Quest" with the release of the "Publish 25," a.k.a. the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.[4]

- ↑ 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.
