"Are Master Kantam and Master Buck with you?"
"Sadly, no. Master Kantam got stuck at a hostage negotiation on Ferrix. They really wanted to come."
―Lula Talisola and Yaddle[1]

In 228 BBY,[2] during the High Republic Era, Jedi Master Kantam Sy of the Jedi Order was involved in a hostage negotiation on Ferrix. The incident—taking place on[1] the Outer Rim planet[3] Ferrix—left Sy unable to join a delegation of Jedi Masters in traveling across the Nihil pirates' Stormwall[1] hyperspace barrier[4] into the Occlusion Zone region of space to attend the wedding of their[1] former Jedi Padawan[5] Lula Talisola to the Mikkian Zeen Mrala on[1] the Outer Rim[3] planet Eriadu.[1]

After arriving as part of the delegation, Jedi Master Yaddle was asked by Talisola if Sy had accompanied them. Yaddle sadly reported Sy's involvement in the negotiation, stating they had wanted to attend. A short while later, after work to make it happen, Sy arrived on Eriadu for the wedding. Talisola was surprised by Sy's appearance and hugged and thanked them for coming, stating[1] she[4] thought they were unable to attend, to which Sy responded they could not miss the wedding.[1]

  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 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 Adventures Phase III - The Wedding Spectacular, including the hostage negotiation on Ferrix, takes place one year and a few months after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY.
