The Stradtofen Cluster was a star cluster in the Varada sector of the Outer Rim Territories[1] and Western Reaches[2] that was situated in grid square I-20 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] At some point between around 389 BBY and around 379 BBY,[3] Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani fought raiders off the heel of the cluster. Shortly before her Jedi Trials[4] around 379 BBY,[3] Nitani recalled the incident while reflecting on the lessons she had learned and the challenges she had overcome in the past few years.[4]
Behind the scenes
The Stradtofen Cluster was first mentioned in the short story "Shield of the Jedi," written by George Mann and published in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project.[4]

- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Rooper Nitani is fifteen years old during the events of The High Republic: Quest for Planet X, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 382 BBY. Furthermore, by the time of the events of "Shield of the Jedi," Nitani is around eighteen years old, and that story also establishes that she fought off the raiders off the heel of the Stradtofen Cluster no more than ten years earlier.
