- "What is the Talus and Tralus Liberation Party?"
"They're a fringe group that espouses secession from the 'Five Brothers' group of planets in the Corellia System." - ―A spacer and Haleen Snowline
The Tralus and Talus Liberation Party, colloquially referred to as the TraTaLibbers, or the TTLP, was a political movement active in the Corellian system during the Galactic Civil War and the First Corellian Insurrection. They advocated that the Double Worlds Tralus and Talus separate from the Corellian government and rule themselves independently.[1]
History[]
- "Terrorists from the fringe Talus and Tralus Liberation Party have stolen valuable state secrets. I urge you to retrieve these secrets and resolve this situation regarding these insurgents."
- ―Haleen Snowline, to a spacer
During the time of the Galactic Civil War, the Tralus and Talus Liberation Party was in conflict with Corellian local authorities, namely the Corellian Security Force and the Federation of the Double Worlds, as well as with the Aa'kuan anarchists on Talus.[3] Another similar movement was the Two Worlders.[1]
After the Battle of Yavin, the Talus and Tralus Liberation Party acquired evidence that the Prime Minister of Talus Hagrin Zeed was involved in various criminal activities. They first blackmailed the politician but then considered to publicly reveal Zeed's wrongdoings. The Talusian government therefore designated the TTLP as a terrorist organization.[2] In 1 ABY,[4] the Talusian Minister of Protocol Haleen Snowline hired a spacer to murder TTLP members and retrieve the incriminating evidence.[2]
The same year, the Liberation Party wanted to create an alliance with the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The TTLP shipped weapons, medical equipment and valuable artifacts to a Rebel weapons depot on Talus in order to obtain Alliance support. Around the same time, TTLP soldiers were involved in the robbing of Aqualish graves on Talus. They were eventually stopped when the the Aqualish Omkoo hired a spacer who fought several TTLP soldiers at an ancient Aqualish gravesite and retrieved all stolen Aqualish artifacts.[5]
The Tralus and Talus Liberation Party was still active in 18 ABY, during the Starbuster Plot, but the TraTaLibbers were not involved in the conflict.[1]

- ↑ 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.
