- "Am I nuts, or do I look great?"
"The terms are not mutually exclusive." - ―Rael Averross and the WA-2G droid, as the former finished dressing in a Pijali court tunic
A Pijali court tunic was a type of traditional court tunic made from Alderaanian shimmersilk. During the Republic Era, the garments were considered fancy and used for ceremonial purposes by the Pijali under the Pijali monarchy on the Inner Rim planet Pijal.[1]
For the coronation of Pijal's Princess Fanry[1] in 40 BBY,[2] Pijal's Jedi lord regent Rael Averross wore a black Pijali court tunic ensemble, which included a black cape featuring cerulean blue lining. Averross was unused to the fancy clothing's styling, as he usually preferred to present an unkempt appearance, but allowed a WA-2G droid to finish preparing him for the event. Several individuals seated for the coronation noticed Averross's choice of clothing when they attended the event not long afterward.[1]
