The Banfoden Prime system was a star system in the Alchenaut sector of the Expansion Region. It lay in grid square L-16 of the Standard Galactic Grid[1] and contained the terrestrial astronomical object Banfoden Prime.[2] Between 389 BBY and 379 BBY,[3] Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani settled an uprising on Banfoden Prime.[2]

Behind the scenes

The Banfoden Prime system was mentioned in[1] an October 13, 2025[4] update to the Star Wars Galaxy Map on StarWars.com[5] and its appendix, "Star Systems of the Galaxy,"[1] which were both authored by Jason Fry.[4]

  3. Rooper Nitani is around eighteen years old during the events of "Shield of the Jedi." In The High Republic: Quest for Planet X, the events of which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 382 BBY, Nitani is fifteen years old. Therefore, "Shield of the Jedi" must take place around 379 BBY. The uprising on Banfoden Prime took place before the events of "Shield of the Jedi" and after Nitani became a Padawan, which "Shield of the Jedi" establishes as having taken place ten years before its events.
