Pedra's Pickles & Provisions was an establishment on the Outer Rim Territories moon Eirie that sold a varied stock. The store was located adjacent to a waystation and a refueling depot, though by the time of the Eiram and E'ronoh War, it was no longer in operation. In 382 BBY, Jedi Knight Gella Nattai walked past the establishment; later the same year, she, Jedi Master Char-Ryl-Roy, Jedi Padawan Enya Keen, Prince Phan-tu Zenn, and Princess Xiri A'lbaran visited the provisions store.
Description
Pedra's Pickles & Provisions was an establishment on the Outer Rim Territories moon Eirie that sold pickles;[1] pin dice for gaming; trinkets from the moon's twin worlds, Eiram and E'ronoh; and other provisions, such as packages of dried food. The store was located adjacent to a waystation and a refueling depot.[2] It had a storefront window and a glowing sign that advertised the store's name.[1]
History
At some point by the High Republic Era, Pedra's Pickles & Provisions operated on Eirie. However, by the time of the Eiram and E'ronoh War, the store had become dilapidated from lack of use, with its storefront shattered and neon sign blinking off at intervals.[1]
Gella Nattai walked past Pedra's Pickles & Provisions on two occasions in 382 BBY.
In 382 BBY,[3] Jedi Knight Gella Nattai walked past the establishment, noticing its dilapidated state.[1] Later the same year,[3] Nattai, Jedi Master Char-Ryl-Roy, Jedi Padawan Enya Keen, Prince Phan-tu Zenn, and Princess Xiri A'lbaran visited the provisions store's street, with Keen thinking the establishment must have closed when the Eiram system's war began years earlier. The group brought two individuals they had taken into questioning for a recent incident—Path of the Open Hand cult members Binnot Ullo and Goi Ganok—with them for a walk around Eirie, hoping a change of scenery would encourage them to reveal more about the klytobacter bioweapon found aboard their ship.[2]
Ganok brushed off the store's window to peer inside and noticed a set of pin dice, commenting that he and Ullo had played with one on the planet Dalna as children. When Zenn began questioning Ganok—because he had previously claimed to be from near another location—the latter panicked and began backing away toward the provision shop's door. In a skirmish outside the store, Goi died while trying to deploy a canister of phyteric acid on the Jedi and royals, while Ullo managed to flee the scene.[2]
