After the droid informant 8t88 lost an arm on the moon Nar Shaddaa during the year 5 ABY,The New Essential Chronology dates the events of Dark Forces: Rebel Agent to the year 5 ABY. he attempted to repair himself after traveling to the moon Sulon for business related to the Galactic Empire. While attaching a new arm to his body, 8t88 asked his bodyguard Rol to hand him a tuning stylus, but instead received a testing probe, as Rol could not tell the difference between the two tools. 8t88 angrily discarded the testing probe and used the tuning stylus to install his new arm with.
