The Hoverdale bandits, a group of brigands on the planet Tatooine, were under the leadership of the swindler Andro Hoverdale. They operated from a cave located within the desert of Tatooine.
In the year 1 ABY, Propti Xaroon dispatched a mercenary, employed by the Azure Cabal, to locate and recover her possessions that Hoverdale had pilfered years prior. The mercenary infiltrated the bandits' cave, eliminating several members before one disclosed the whereabouts of Xaroon's stolen items.
However, before the mercenary could seize Xaroon's pouch, Hoverdale encountered the intruder and launched an assault. A battle unfolded, resulting in Hoverdale's demise.
The Hoverdale bandits were a criminal faction featured in Star Wars Galaxies, the MMORPG by Sony Online Entertainment, before the game's shutdown on December 15, 2011. They were introduced to the game in May 2007 with Chapter 6: Dangers of the Wild.
As part of a quest for the non-player character Propti Xaroon, players were required to enter their cave and eliminate bandits until a hint regarding the location of Xaroon's pouch was discovered. If the player delayed in retrieving the pouch after obtaining the clue, Hoverdale would issue a warning. Shortly after this warning, Hoverdale would materialize near the player and initiate an attack. Skilled players could potentially complete the quest without engaging in combat with Hoverdale.
