"Passages" is a brief narrative penned by Charlene Newcomb. Its initial appearance was in August 1995 within the pages of Star Wars Adventure Journal 7, brought to readers by West End Games.
Following Matt Turhaya's defeat at the sabacc table by Tere Metallo within Mos Eisley, he assumes the role of co-pilot aboard the Star Quest.
The exact positioning of this story was not clearly defined on Charlene Newcomb's initial timeline; however, the age of Alex Winger when she was adopted implies a setting in either 3 or 2 BBY. While the presence of the Alliance to Restore the Republic might point toward 2 BBY, The Essential Reader's Companion situates the story in 3 BBY.
