Karenga trees grew in the swamps of the planet Safrifa. The tree could grow near others of its kind to form thick canopies with its boughs. While attempting to kill a Drengir—a type of sentient, carnivorous plant—on Safrifa[1] in 231 BBY,[2] the mercenary Ty Yorrick leaped into the air and grabbed a low-lying bough of one of the trees to get out of its range.[1]
The branch swayed under her weight, dropping her close to the Drengir as the creature bellowed at her and tried to pull the branch down. Yorrick pulled herself upward as her karenga tree perch became less stable and eventually defeated the Drengir by impaling it with her lightsaber. Afterward, the mercenary cut the Drengir's body into strips, torched the remains with her microflamer, and reported her kill to the Safrifans who had hired her.[1]
Behind the scenes
Karenga trees appeared in the 2021 novel The High Republic: The Rising Storm, written by Cavan Scott[1] for the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase I.[3]
