The kahmurra blanca was a subtype of kahmurra,[1] a race of murra bioengineered in the Kahmurra Biogenetic Research Station on Talus.[3] A mutated variant,[2] this creature was larger, stronger and more resistant to average kahmurra. It also had large horns and tusks.[1]
The existence of the kahmurra blanca was first reported during the Galactic Civil War.[2] In 1 ABY,[4] adventurous spacers traveled to Talus in order to hunt painted spats. At least one was known to be found near the Kahmurra Biogenetic Research Station.[1] The heads of these animals were sometimes displayed as a trophy by locals and big-game hunters who had killed them.[1][5]

- ↑ Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided
- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided 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.
