Jero was a terrestrial astronomical object[3] located in the Jero system within the Teraab sector of the Mid Rim Territories[1] and the Slice.[2] It was situated in grid square Q-11 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] By around 160 BBY,[4] during the High Republic Era, the Mirialan Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh visited Jero and witnessed Hutts farm glaka root using large labor forces.[3]
Around that year,[4] Rwoh—by then traveling the galaxy as a Jedi Wayseeker—was guided by the Force to the planet Cerifisis, where pirates were stealing rations. While preparing to confront the pirates, she mentally recalled the time she had witnessed the Hutts' actions on Jero, seeing it as an example of the galactic truth that where there was something of worth, there were those who would do anything to acquire it.[3]
Behind the scenes
Jero was mentioned in The Acolyte: Wayseeker, a 2025 novel written by Justina Ireland.[3]

- ↑ 4.0 4.1 The events of Star Wars: The Acolyte take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here. Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Visual Guide establishes that Indara is fifty-four years old in The Acolyte and also states that she is twenty-six years old during the events of The Acolyte: Wayseeker. Therefore, the events of Wayseeker must take place around 160 BBY.
