- "When I was young, I lost my mother, the person who I admired most. Her... Her heart gave out. Had simple organ cloning been available on my homeworld, her death would have been easily preventable."
- ―Penn Pershing
Imperial scientist Penn Pershing was born to a mother on an astronomical object. His mother was a doctor in their hometown.[2] While Penn was a young man,[3] she later perished of heart failure, due to the planet lacking access on simple organ cloning technology, prompting Pershing to dedicate his life on the pursuit of perfecting cloning technology and making it available to the entire galaxy. Years later, Pershing recounted the story of her passing before a crowd in Coruscant's Galaxies Opera House as part of his participation in the New Republic Amnesty Program.[2]
Her son spent days in her office as a child, dreaming of a high-tech laboratory, a story he would later recount to Elia Kane while collecting scientific supplies from a retired Star Destroyer.[2]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
