Notes and references[]

↑ The Star Wars Book dates the launch of the Starlight Beacon, which is depicted as part of the events of The High Republic: Light of the Jedi, to 232 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 232 BBY according to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas. In The High Republic: A Test of Courage, which takes place concurrently to Light of the Jedi, Vernestra Rwoh is sixteen years old. In The High Republic: Mission to Disaster, Vernestra states that she is almost eighteen years old, indicating that Mission to Disaster is set about two years later, around 230 BBY. As The High Republic: The Fallen Star takes place not long after Mission to Disaster, it must also take place around 230 BBY. The High Republic: Trail of Shadows 4 takes place concurrent with The Fallen Star, and The High Republic: Trail of Shadows 3 takes place shortly beforehand, so they must also take place around 230 BBY.
