- "Jaquira fruit was my favorite as a youngling. There was a stall near the Chandrilan temple that had them, and I used to sneak out at night just to buy them."
- ―Conithr, to Ruu
A stall that sold jaquira fruit was located near the Jedi Order's Chandrilan temple on[1] the Core Worlds planet[2] Chandrila. As a Jedi youngling[1] by 230 BBY,[3] Conithr was stationed at the Chandrilan temple and snuck out at night to buy jaquira fruit from the stall.[1]
Eventually Conithr became a Jedi Master and was stationed at the Jedi temple on the Core Worlds planet Corellia, where she became the Master of the Lucem boy Ruu. At one point before her death[1] between 230 BBY and 229 BBY,[4] Conithr attempted to have Ruu eat sour food, including a jaquira fruit. After her Padawan groaned, she told him of the times she had snuck out of the temple to purchase jaquira fruit.[1] In 229 BBY,[4] sometime after Conithr's passing, Ruu recalled the conversation where she told him about the stall after he saw the Chadra-Fan female Hamatan roll out a blob of jaquira-fruit sugar to make candy.[1]
Behind the scenes
The stall was mentioned in flashbacks in "Rogue Element," a short story written by Alyssa Wong[1] that was published in the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition[5] of the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project.[1]

- ↑ "Rogue Element" establishes that Conithr became the Jedi Master of Ruu on Corellia prior to the Jedi Order's recall to Coruscant, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY. Therefore, she must have been stationed at the Chandrilan temple as a Jedi youngling by that year.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 The events of "Rogue Element" take place one year after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY. The story establishes Conithr died between the destruction of Starlight Beacon and the story's events, meaning she passed away between those two years.
