Inith Lowera was a Force-sensitive Pantoran female who served as a Jedi of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era.[1] In 228 BBY,[2] the Jedi Knights Reath Silas and Vernestra Rwoh discovered the plague known as the blight was present in the Shrine in the Depths, a Sith temple buried under the Jedi Temple on[1] the Core Worlds planet[3] Coruscant. In response,[1] Jedi Grand Master[3] Yoda took to meditating in the shrine along with other Jedi in an attempt to slow its spread.[1]

When Rwoh visited the shrine to speak with Yoda, she spotted him meditating alongside Jedi Masters Peleg Ryn and Jenneh Ley. As the Grand Master briefly left the shrine to speak with the Knight, Lowera rushed past them into the shrine to help shoulder the added burden on Ryn and Ley that had been caused by Yoda's absence. Shortly after, the Grand Master returned to assist the Jedi in their efforts against the blight.[1]

Behind the scenes

Inith Lowera appeared in the 2024 young-adult novel The High Republic: Tears of the Nameless, written by George Mann and published as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[4]

  2. 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 The High Republic: Tears of the Nameless between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
