- "Boiling showers and razor-sharp grass are a joy to experience."
- ―Lieutenant Moss Shelby
The Agrilat Region, also known as the Agrilat Swamp, the Crystal Swamps or simply Agrilat, was a region located on the northern continent of the planet Corellia. Situated between the northern sea and the Orik's Spine mountain range, the region was largely composed of swamps filled with crystalline plants like razor grass. It was a hot spot for illegal swoop races, such as the Agrilat Swamp Circuit. The Dragonbane circuit was also located in this region.[2]
The swamps were the site of a famous race between Dengar, a cult hero of the professional racing circuit, and another youth named Han Solo, from the private circuit. Tired of constantly being compared to Solo, Dengar challenged his rival to a winner-takes-all race through the dangerous swamps. During the race, Solo's stabilizer fin became entangled with Dengar's, causing Dengar to lose control and crash.[7]
At some point before 29 BBY, Agrilat was also known for producing mouth-loosening drugs.[8]
In 1 ABY,[9] wild creatures from the Agrilat Swamp wandered into more civilized areas of Corellia and threatened local farmers. Lieutenant Moss Shelby of CorSec's Regiment Twelve therefore hired a group of spacers to hunt the animals.[6]
Behind the scenes[]
Concept art of the Agrilat Swamp for Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided.
There is some discrepancy as to whether Agrilat is a region on Corellia or a planet unto its own. The PC game Star Wars: Rebellion and Star Wars: Rebellion: Prima's Official Strategy Guide place Agrilat as a planet in the Moddell sector of the Outer Rim, Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary indicates it is a planet in the Corellian sector, Star Wars Gamer 6 indicates that it is a city on Corellia, Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back simply states it is a swamp located in the Corellian system, and Star Wars Galaxies indicates Agrilat is a swamp on Corellia itself. The Essential Atlas has one reference to the crystal swamps comparing them to other natural beauties found on Corellia.

- ↑ 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.
