Notes and references
- ↑ The events of The High Republic: Escape from Valo take place one year after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which equates to 229 BBY per Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia. Tanana Keem is in her fifties, so she must have been born between fifty and fifty-nine years before 229 BBY.
