- "The Deftoi of Muntro VI in the Outer Rim are staging their decennial Otherworld Arts Festival. A new composition in their quasi-operatic ceremonial artform, which their formal request translates roughly as "highmind stagecraft," dramatizes a bloody period in Naboo's history before the Great Time of Peace."
- ―An announcement from the Office of the Music Advisor of Naboo
The Deftoi were individuals that inhabited the world Muntro VI, in the Outer Rim Territories.[1]
Every ten years, the Deftoi of Muntro VI organized their famous Otherworld Arts Festival.[1] For the 1 ABY[2] edition of the festival, the Deftoi requested the Office of the Music Advisor of Naboo to provide carcasses of Naboo animals in order to hold a performance depicting the events of the Time of Suffering of Naboo.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The Deftoi were first mentioned in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[3] The game did no clearly establish whether Deftoi referred to a title or a species.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided — Terminal Mission: "Arts Festival Requires Naboo Animals" on Naboo
- ↑ 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.
