An individual who lived during the High Republic Era served in the Galactic Senate of the Galactic Republic and was known to Ghirra Starros, a senator who represented[1] the Core Worlds'[2] Hosnian system.[1] By 228 BBY,[3] Starros had left the Senate to side with the Nihil pirates where she served as the leader of their Ministry of Information, and the individual became a contact within the Senate for her.[1]
That year,[3] the physicist Xylan Graf—whose Lightning Crash space station had been taken over by the Nihil and used to power their Stormwall hyperspace barrier—fled the station and returned to Republic space. While Starros spoke about Graf's escape with the Nihil spy Nan, the minister made a mental note to check in with her contact in the Senate as she suspected Graf would provide the Republic with data about the Lightning Crash and Stormwall.[1]
Behind the scenes
Ghirra Starros' contact 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]

- ↑ 3.0 3.1 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: Temptation of the Force takes place one year and six weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon and its events span a few months, it must be set in 228 BBY.
