"It had ancient ruins and a pink moon."
―Izal Garsea, on Eroudac, to Julen Rakab[5]

A pink moon orbited the planet Eroudac, which was located in the Mid Rim Territories and the Slice regions. While growing up at the Jedi temple on Eroudac during the High Republic Era, Jedi youngling Jamil Sollis was able to see the moon from his dormitory.

By 3 ABY, a member of the Rokana Raiders defeated a squadron of drift-skippers off the moon. In 34 ABY, the pilot Izal Garsea mentioned Eroudac's moon to her childhood friend Julen Rakab while inviting him to a date on Eroudac.

Description

A pink moon orbited Eroudac,[4] a planet[6] located in the Eroudac system within the Doldur sector of[2] the Mid Rim Territories and the Slice regions.[1] It was situated in grid square P-15 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[3]

History

High Republic Era

By 230 BBY,[7] during the High Republic Era, the human Jedi youngling Jamil Sollis grew up at the Jedi temple on Eroudac. While at the temple, Sollis was always able to see the moon through his dormitory skylight.[4] In 228 BBY,[7] while stationed at the Jedi Temple on[4] the Core Worlds planet[6] Coruscant, the youngling recalled being able to see Eroudac's pink moon when thinking about how he felt lost at the Coruscant Temple in comparison to his time on Eroudac.[4]

The Hutt Churo traveled to Eroudac[8] later that year[9] to find a quiraawa flower to heal[8] his homeworld—the Hutt Space[4] planet Nal Hutta, which had been devastated by[8] the sentient carnivorous plants known as[10] the Drengir. While on the planet, Churo came across Jedi Knight Sul-Nath-Rune. As the two headed toward the Quiraawa Mountains to locate one of the flowers, the light from the moon's crescent shape shone down from the night sky.[8]

Later incidents

"I once bested a whole squadron of drift-skippers off the moon of Eroudac."

By 3 ABY,[12] a member of the Rokana Raiders bested an entire squadron of drift-skippers off the moon.[11] That year,[12] while the individual was patrolling the Khepi Tomb in the Khepi system, they boasted to another raider about their defeat of the squadron. Their companion grunted in response.[11]

In 34 ABY,[13] the pilot Izal Garsea—who had lived for a time on Eroudac—reunited with her childhood friend Julen Rakab on the Outer Rim planet Batuu and invited him to meet her on Eroudac for a date. Rakab was at first confused about the location choice, and asked if it was the place where she had dropped out of an academy; Garsea replied affirmatively and explained to him that the planet had also been the last place she had lived with her parents, noting that it also had a pink moon.[5]

Behind the scenes

Eroudac's moon was first mentioned in the 2019 young-adult novel A Crash of Fate, written by Zoraida Córdova.[5] The moon later made its first appearance in "The Adventures of Churo the Hutt and the Heart of Eroudac," a comic story included in the anthology The High Republic Adventures Phase III Annual. The story was written by Córdova, illustrated by Juan Samu, and published by Dark Horse Comics as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase III[8] on January 29, 2025.[14] Prior to the Annual's release, an uncolored depiction of the moon was revealed during the Dark Horse panel at New York Comic Con on October 19, 2024.[15]

  7. ↑ 7.0 7.1 Per the reasoning here, the events of The High Republic: Beware the Nameless, which take place a year and a half after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, must take place in 228 BBY. As Beware the Nameless establishes that Jamil Sollis grew up at the Eroudac Jedi temple prior to the Jedi Order's recall to Coruscant, an event Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY, he must have been stationed there by 230 BBY.

  9. ↑ 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: Beware the Nameless takes place one and a half years after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY. "The Adventures of Churo the Hutt and the Heart of Eroudac" establishes its events occur after the events of Beware the Nameless, therefore meaning they must take place no earlier than 228 BBY. The High Republic: A Valiant Vow depicts Churo working as the protégé of Glenna Kip, who he had not heard of during "The Adventures of Churo the Hutt and the Heart of Eroudac." Therefore, "The Adventures of Churo the Hutt and the Heart of Eroudac" must be set before A Valiant Vow. The events of A Valiant Vow take place nearly two years after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, meaning they and the events of "The Adventures of Churo the Hutt and the Heart of Eroudac" must also take place in 228 BBY per the aforementioned reasoning.
