Thorn trees were a type of spindly tree that grew on the Outer Rim planet E'ronoh.[1] Ebony thorn trees were one variant of thorn tree.[2] While traveling through the Badlands desert region of E'ronoh on a pleasure barge[1] in 382 BBY,[3] Jedi Knight Gella Nattai noticed that the rocky ground near her was dotted with thorn trees.[1] By 5 ABY,[4] an ebony thorn tree was kept in a glass tube aboard the Star Destroyer Deliverance.[2] That year,[4] the New Republic pilot Wyl Lark leaned against the case during a meeting aboard the vessel.[2]

Behind the scenes

In the current Star Wars canon, thorn trees first appeared in the form of ebony thorn trees in the 2021 novel Victory's Price, written by Alexander Freed as the second installment of the Star Wars: Alphabet Squadron trilogy.[2] They were then later identified only as thorn tree in Convergence, a 2022 novel written by Zoraida Córdova as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's Phase II.[1] In the Star Wars Legends continuity, thorn trees debuted in Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon, a 1983 novel written by L. Neil Smith as the second installment in the Star Wars: The Lando Calrissian Adventures trilogy.[5]

Since Star Wars: Timelines dates both of those conflicts to 5 ABY, the main events of Victory's Price must therefore be set in that year.
