Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 The section of The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1 in which Yarzion Vell tells Kelnacca about his tattoos occurs three years after the Destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY. The section in which Vell is knighted takes place after that, and so must occur around that year.
