Jafan was a male member of the Naboo, the human inhabitants of the planet Naboo. Jafan served as a general during the era of the planet's history known as the Time of Suffering, which was characterized by brutal wars between human city-states. Through force of will and force of arms,[1] he[2] united the city-states and ushered in a new era: the Great Time of Peace.[1] Jafan became king[3] and rose to prominence as the first ruler of the era.[2]

In 832 BBY[4] during the Great Time of Peace, the Naboo founded the city of Theed on the banks of the river Solleu[1] and under King Jafan's rule it became capital of Naboo.[5] That same year, Jafan directed the people of the newly founded Theed to construct the Theed Royal Palace as the seat of the Royal House of Naboo,[1] with the king building a small temple and its adjoining chamber, which was known as the Turret Room, in the palace.[3]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, Jafan was first mentioned in "Theed: Naboo's Capital City," an article in the "Guide to the Galaxy" department of the twenty fourth issue of De Agostini's Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon magazine,[5] which was released on around June 17, 2015.[6] The character originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity in the 2000 reference book Inside the Worlds of Star Wars: Episode I, which was written by Kristin Lund.[7]
