==History==
Between around 3 BBY and 0 BBY,The Star Wars Encyclopedia issue "The Heroes of Rogue One" establishes that Bodhi Rook met a woman on Bamayar during his service as a cargo pilot. The issue also states that Rook's cargo pilot service began two years and twenty-four months after Rook entered the Terrabe Sector Service Academy, which "The Heroes of Rogue One" dates to 7 BBY, and ended with his defection to the Rebel Alliance shortly before the Battle of Yavin, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to the end of 0 BBY. Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know establishes that a standard year was 365 days long, while the sixty-first issue of Star Wars: Build the Millenium Falcon sets the length of a standard month at thirty-five days, with twenty-four months therefore being approximately 2.3 standard years. Therefore, Rook's service as a cargo pilot, including his time on Bamayar, took place between around 3 BBY and 0 BBY. Bodhi Rook, a cargo pilot in the Galactic Empire, met and developed feelings for a woman on Bamayar. However, the woman rejected his advances, and Rook's friends went drinking with him after.
