- "So, you aren't escaping my dastardly clutches?"
- ―Corax Oreli, to Xylan Graf
Corax Oreli was a Theelin female member of the Nihil marauders. When the Nihil allowed Xylan Graf, who was serving them as a hostage on the Lightning Crash space station, to venture outside of the Occlusion Zone and attend a gathering on Hosnian Prime, Oreli was sent to watch over him as a bodyguard. Oreli did not wish to enter the venue herself, placing a tracker on Graf. After Graf allowed himself to be kidnapped by Jordanna Sparkburn and Sylvestri Yarrow unknowingly on behalf of the rogue Nihil Deva Lompop, he planted the tracker within their starship, the Vengeful Goddess. Oreli followed them to their meeting point in the Seswenna system, but Lompop had arrived first, and destroyed Oreli's vessel.[2]

Notes and references
- ↑ 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. As such, its events, including the death of Corax Oreli in the Seswenna system, must take place in 228 BBY.
