Opening crawl

STAR WARS
THE HIGH REPUBLIC
TRIALS OF THE JEDI

EX DROIDS are finally returning to the
Republic from behind the Stormwall.
They are laden with valuable intel
that is helping the Jedi and their allies
prepare for imminent war with the
Nihil. But some EX DROIDS, and the
messages they carry, have disappeared
within the OCCLUSION ZONE.
Former-Jedi-turned-monster-hunter
TY YORRICK and her companion
DREWEN QWEEBJILAN have volunteered
to retrieve the missing droids.

Their hunt has led them to DALNA, a
once-lush planet that was devastated by
a Nihil super-weapon. Ty and Drewen
expect to find little more than rocks, ash,
and a crashed droid, but Dalna may still
have secrets lurking under its surface….

↑ 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 Adventures – Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone 4 between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
