Quith Meglar

"I don't care about your cause, and I never will. But I do care about my own hide, and I don't want to catch one of those bad deaths for myself."
―Quith Meglar, to Avar Kriss[2]

Quith Meglar was a Halisite member of the Nihil marauders during the High Republic Era, working in the Ministry of Protection under General Abediah Viess as a communications officer. Feeling trapped within the Nihil, Meglar was desperate for a way out, and was eventually convinced by the reporter Rhil Dairo, a prisoner of the Nihil on the planet Hetzal Prime who was forced to make broadcasts throughout the Occlusion Zone on the marauders' behalf, to help her escape in order to ensure his own freedom. Meglar assisted Dairo in encoding secret messages into her broadcasts in the hope of reaching any Jedi in the Nihil territory, offering to smuggle them out of the Occlusion Zone in exchange for his own safe passage and immunity from Galactic Republic prosecution. The Jedi Master Avar Kriss, receiving one such message, visited Hetzal to rendezvous with Meglar and Dairo. However, Viess, having learned of the plan, ambushed them, killing Meglar. Kriss and Dairo were able to escape, however, due to the arrival of fellow Master Porter Engle, who had also received the call for help.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic Adventures (2023) 4 takes place one year and two weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY. Since the events of The High Republic Adventures (2023) 6 are set immediately following the fourth issue and depict the expansion of the Stormwall, the events in The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness following the expansion, including the death of Quith Meglar on Hetzal Prime, must take place in the same year.
