- "I got the news from little Pala's mother. She said there's a meeting being held in the community hall after the midday meal to share what is known."
- ―Yacek Sparkburn, to Imri Cantaros
Pala was an individual who lived with their mother in the town Parantha on[1] the Outer Rim[2] planet Aricho during the High Republic Era.[1] In 228 BBY,[3] news of the fall of the Nihil pirates' Stormwall[1] hyperspace barrier in its Occlusion Zone region of space[4]—where Aricho had been located—reached Aricho, which Pala's mother became aware of, and that a meeting was to be held within the town's community hall after the local midday meal to share what was known. Pala's mother passed word of the Stormwall's fall and of the meeting to Jedi Knight Yacek Sparkburn, who in turn told Jedi Knight Imri Cantaros about it, informing him that he had been told it by Pala's mother.[1]
A short while later, the planet's population was evacuated after the discovery of the affliction known as the blight on Aricho, and they were resettled in a town on the planet Tiikae. Pala was considered little by Sparkburn.[1]

- ↑ 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: A Valiant Vow takes place nearly two years after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY.
