Hunters of the Outer Rim was a competition hosted within the Grand Arena on the planet Vespaara that saw various warriors from across the galaxy engage in combat. Contestants fought in teams to earn both fortune and glory while cheered on by enthusiastic audiences. During the New Republic Era, the tournament hosted a revolving cast of several individuals, including the dark side warrior Rieve and the Mandalorian stalwart Aran Tal, as "hunters."[1] Tal joined the competition in 9 ABY,[2] while Rieve joined around that same year.[3]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Star Wars: Timelines
- ↑ Hunters: Battle for the Arena takes place after the fall of the Galactic Empire, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 5 ABY. In the story, Rieve is around 21 years old, but in a flashback, which takes place during the Imperial Era, she is 16 years old. So the novel cannot take place more than five years after the fall of the Empire. As it also takes place after Aran Tal joined the Hunters of the Outer Rim, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 9 ABY, the book must be set around that year.
