- "This isn't how civilized scientists behave. Something caused this. Something deliberate."
"You don't think an entire contingent of scientists devolved into a slugfest over the proper way to irrigate khema?" - ―Administrator Velko Jahen and Ghal Tarpfen
Khema was an organism that could be irrigated.[1] In 231 BBY,[2] when a group of scientists from the Galactic Agricultural Alliance brawled on their visit to the Starlight Beacon space station, the station's Head of Security, Ghal Tarpfen, sarcastically suggested that they were motivated by an argument over the correct way to irrigate khema.[1]
Behind the scenes
Khema was mentioned in the second installment of the short story "Starlight: Hidden Danger," which was written by Justina Ireland and published in the 204th issue of the Star Wars Insider magazine as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic: Starlight serialized fiction[1] on August 10, 2021.[3]
