Errik Darksider served within the criminal organization of Jabba Desilijic Tiure during the era of the Galactic Civil War.
In the year 1 ABY, Errik Darksider was present in the Tatooine settlement of Mos Eisley. While there, he crossed paths with a spacer whom he believed would be an acceptable addition to Jabba's organization. Errik informed the spacer about his knowledge of certain locations on Tatooine, notably the Hutt Hideout situated outside of Mos Eisley. For a sum of credits, Errik consented to betray Jabba and reveal the location of Hutt Hideout to the spacer. He also offered to provide the locations of two other places in exchange for more credits, including a ruined Rebel Military Base and a bunker that had been taken over by Tusken Raiders.
Errik Darksider was a non-player character featured in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies. This game was a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game created by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts. The game was shut down on December 15, 2011. Errik Darksider's inclusion in the game occurred with the release of the "Publish 5" update, which went live on December 16, 2003.
Players had the option to engage in conversation with him to obtain the waypoint coordinates for three locations on Tatooine: the Hutt Hideout, a Tusken Bunker, and a destroyed [Rebel Military Base](/article/rebel_military_base_(tatooine)]. To receive these waypoints from Errik, players needed to agree to pay a varying amount of credits for each location provided.
