- "Thaya, send someone down here with meat, the first three things you can put in a bag, along with several different designs of handheld weapons and that three-legged tooka cat that Bas Ear'lasr has been feeding in my hangar bay."
"Yes, Eye, immediately." - ―Marchion Ro and Thaya Ferr
Bas Ear'lasr was a Nihil pirate who served on the Gaze Electric, the flagship of Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro during the High Republic Era. They fed a three-legged tooka within a hangar on the Gaze which eventually came to Ro's attention.[1]
In 228 BBY,[2] when the Eye was at a crystal farm on the fifth moon of[1] the Outer Rim[3] planet Norisyn investigating a plague, he asked his secretary, Thaya Ferr, to send a Nihil to bring him the tooka among other items. In response, Ferr had a human Nihil take the cat in a bag to Ro. The Eye then threw the tooka into the crystals that had been infected by the plague, and it eventually died.[1]
Behind the scenes
Bas Ear'lasr was mentioned in the 2024 novel The High Republic: Temptation of the Force, written by Tessa Gratton and published as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[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: Temptation of the Force between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
