"One of the members of Fori's team had baked fresh finger cakes frosted with ground palm sugar."
―Marda Ro, in her journal[1]

An individual served Marda Ro—the Evereni[1] founder of a group of pirates who would eventually become the Nihil[2]—as a member of a team led by the Twi'lek marauder Fori Nagor, having joined her team[1] by some point no earlier than 379 BBY.[3] At that time, a feast was thrown on the Gaze Electric, Ro's ship, and the team member baked finger cakes frosted with ground palm sugar. Later, Ro mentioned them in a message[1] she[4] recorded for her descendants.[1] By 252 BBY,[5] during his youth, Ro's great-great-grandson Marchion Ro had listened to her journal, including the entry where the team member was mentioned.[4]

Behind the scenes

The team member was mentioned in the short story "A Closed Fist Has No Claws," written by Tessa Gratton and published in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project.[1]

  3. ↑ The segment of "A Closed Fist Has No Claws" depicting a Jedi's death onboard the Gaze Electric takes place around 379 BBY per the reasoning here. Marda Ro met the Faers after the Jedi's death; therefore, she must have met them no earlier than 379 BBY.

As The High Republic: Temptation of the Force establishes she introduced Marchion Ro to Marda Ro's journal, he must have listened to it by that year.
