"And Niv Drendow got away, that slippery scampweasel."
―Ram Jomaram[1]

A scampweasel was a type of weasel.[1] In 228 BBY,[2] after members of the Jedi Order and Republic Defense Coalition failed to capture the Nihil scientist Niv Drendow Apruk on the planet Mynos III, Jedi Padawan Ram Jomaram commented on Apruk's escape to Jedi archivist Lyssa Votz, comparing him to a slippery scampweasel.[1]

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: Beware the Nameless takes place one and a half years after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY.
