Marker

"Shoran has gone on ahead but don't worry, he left markers so we could find him in this wilderness"

- Qui-Gon Jinn

Markers were wooden structures used by Wookiees to leave trails for others to follow. They consisted of two poles that were placed diaganolly upwards and had a banner stretched in between the poles with a painted symbol on it. Markers were used between 39 BBY and 36 BBY during the colonisation of the rediscovered moon Alaris Prime by Wookiees from the planet Kashyyyk. In their initial landing on the moon, the Wookiee Shoran scouted a path for his cousin Chewbacca, and left markers behind for him to follow. With the help of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Chewbacca followed the markers and eventually found Shoran, who said he had found an unusual structure in the path ahead, which turned out to be a malfunctioning power core, built secretly by the Trade Federation, a galactic corporation who were illegally trying to colonise the moon. The two Wookiees destroyed the power core and found more markers that had been left by Chewbacca's father Attichitcuk, that led to a Wookiee camp.
