The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

At some point before around 1300 BBY,[1] the homeworld of the B'ankora species suffered a cataclysmic collision with a meteor. After the cataclysm, the Galactic Republic gave the species a small sanctuary, which came to be known as the B'ankor Refuge, on the planet Coruscant, and were granted the land Supreme Chancellor Chasen Piian to be used in perpetuity.[2]

Behind the scenes

The B'ankora homeworld cataclysm was fist mentioned in Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel, written by James Luceno[2] and published on November 15, 2016[3] as a prequel to the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.[2]

The 2016 reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: Rebel Dossier, written by Jason Fry, originally dated the B'ankor being granted the B'ankor Refuge to 131 BBY,[4] but in Catalyst it is stated that they had lived in the Refuge "for more than fifty generations" and had planted a copse of gargantuan trees "centuries earlier" by the time of the novel.[2] 2023's Star Wars: Timelines later instead placed the event to 1300 BBY.[1] Because Timelines is the newer source and it's date lines up better with what is established in Catalyst, this article assumes it to be correct.
