"Where's Astenban?"
"It's a moon near Banchii's main hyperspace route."
―Ru-Ru and Lily Tora-Asi[1]

Banchii's main hyperspace route was a hyperspace route that[1] the Inugg system[2] planet Banchii was located on during the High Republic Era.[1] Banchii was part of the Jjannex sector[2] and located in the Galactic Frontier region[3] of the Outer Rim Territories.[2] The moon Astenban was near the route.[1]

In 228 BBY,[4] while on Banchii, Jedi Master Savina Besatrix Malagán announced[1] she[2] was going to travel to Astenban to stop the Nihil pirates from taking control of a base there, which they could use to launch attacks on planets in the region. When Jedi archivist Ru-Ru asked where Astenban was, Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi responded that it was a moon near Banchii's main hyperspace route. Malagán then left for Astenban, where she destroyed the base.[1]

  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 StarWars.com Star Wars: The High Republic Chronological Reader's Guide on StarWars.com (article) (backup link) places The High Republic: The Edge of Balance, Vol. 3 between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
