Aricho was a planet located in the Outer Rim behind the Nihil pirates Stormwall in the Occlusion Zone during the High Republic Era. After the destruction of Starlight Beacon[1] in 230 BBY,[6] Jedi Padawan Imri Cantaros hid on the planet.[1] In 228 BBY,[7] after the aspiring inventor Avon Sunvale learned that Nihil forces led by[1] the Quarren[6] Kara Xoo intended to set up operations on the planet because of a valuable herb on Aricho and fearing that Nihil General Abediah Viess would also make her way to the world with Nameless creatures which fed on Force-sensitives, Sunvale set out to rescue her friend.[1]
Later, the Hutt Dahara conspired with President Orenna Sala to set up glaka root production facilities on Aricho before it was discovered that the planet and its glaka root fields had been afflicted with the blight and the planet was evacuated.[4]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic Adventures (2023) 4 takes place one year and two weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY. Since the events of The High Republic Adventures (2023) 6 are set immediately following the fourth issue and depict the expansion of the Stormwall, the expansion must have taken place in the same year. Meanwhile, the events of "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: No Big Deal" include the Stormwall's expansion and also depict the start of Pikka Adren's pregnancy. A later story, "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: Sparks Fly," states that Adren is eight months pregnant during its events, indicating that it is set eight months after "No Big Deal," and therefore one year, eight months, and two weeks after the fall of Starlight Beacon. "Sparks Fly" is set during the Battle of Eriadu, an event that begins in The High Republic Adventures Phase III - The Wedding Spectacular. As Star Wars: The High Republic Chronological Reader's Guide on StarWars.com (article) (backup link) places The High Republic: Defy the Storm between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
