Emple Ortok's apartment

OnACanonArticle

Emple Ortok's apartment was an apartment owned by the human male Nihil Emple Ortok in Eriadu City,[1] the capital city[2] of the planet Eriadu, during the High Republic Era.[1] In 228 BBY,[3] Ortok was on the balcony of his apartment when the Lucem former Jedi Ruu landed next to Ortok, surprising him. After a short confrontation, Ruu killed Ortok and stole his identichip which he intended to use help him travel across the Stormwall,[1] a hyperspace barrier created by the Nihil.[4] Leaving the man dead on his balcony, Ruu departed from the apartment and traveled to a public shipyard where he stole Ortok's private vessel.[1]

  3. ↑ 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 "Chronicles of Corellia: Cracking the Mask" between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
