Moraj Memorial


The Moraj Memorial, situated close to Bestine in the city of Tatooine, served as a place of remembrance.

History

The initial inhabitants and creators of Bestine Township built it to honor the "brave Captain Moraj".

Behind the scenes

The developers of the Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG included this memorial to pay tribute to Nathan "Moraj_Markinnison" Larkins, an early beta tester who tragically passed away in a car accident shortly after the beta test began. Its location marked the precise spot where the initial beta testers entered the game world.

While the in-game description of the memorial flag simply refers to it as "A historical marker", players and fansites frequently refer to it as "Moraj Memorial".

Additionally, the developers incorporated a unique guild hall featuring a Tatooine Skin, which could be situated on any planet.

The Guinness Book of Video Game Records recognized it as the pioneering MMORPG to feature a virtual memorial dedicated to a deceased person in real life. Later, in November of 2008, The Freeman Memorial was created as another in-game memorial for an individual who had passed away.
