THE HIGH REPUBLIC

CHAPTER 3: THE TAKING OF THE ATARAXIA

Hostilities between the Republic and the Hutt Cartel
have temporarily ceased now that Hutt Administrator
Skarabda has attacked and killed an envoy of the
fledging Nihil regime.

Former Nihil Tempest Runner LOURNA DEE is now on
the run from the Republic and the Hutts, trying to
escape on board the stolen Jedi cruiser, ''Ataraxia''.

But working with Hutt skiff-fighters, the Defense
Coalition starcuiser ''Gios'' is moving to intercept
before Dee can jump to hyperspace, with Jedi
Master Keeve Trennis leading the charge.

But is Keeve distracted by the revelation that her
former master Sskeer might still be alive on the other
side of the Nihil's impenetrable stormwall….?

↑ 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 expansion must have taken place in the same year. Meanwhile, the events of "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: No Big Deal" include the Stormwall's expansion and also depict the start of Pikka Adren's pregnancy. A later story, "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: Sparks Fly," states that Adren is eight months pregnant during its events, indicating that it is set eight months after "No Big Deal," and therefore one year, eight months, and two weeks after the fall of Starlight Beacon. "Sparks Fly" is set during the Battle of Eriadu, an event that begins in The High Republic Adventures Phase III - The Wedding Spectacular. As Star Wars: The High Republic Chronological Reader's Guide on StarWars.com (article) (backup link) places The High Republic (2023) 3 between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
