THE HIGH REPUBLIC
THE HUNTED
CHAPTER 5: DEATH ON SHINGCU STATION

To save a child strong in the Force, Jedi Master Keeve
Trennis and her team have staged a daring rescue.
Breaking into Baron Boolan's secret base, Lourna
Dee, Tey Sirrek, and troubled Trandoshan Master
Sskeer came face-to-face with the Baron's sinister
Children of the Storm.

Lourna got away, escaping with the child, only to be
brought down by the Baron's surgically augmented
Nameless. The former Tempest Runner's life was
saved by Keeve, the Jedi facing her fear by
decapitating the Eater of the Force.

But, with time running out for Tey and Sskeer, Lourna
has delivered another bombshell. She has set
explosive devices throughout the station. Baron
Boolan is going down, but Tey and Sskeer will go with
him….

↑ 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 Adventures (2023) 4 takes place one year and two weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, it must be set in 228 BBY. Since the events of The High Republic Adventures (2023) 6 are set immediately following the fourth issue and depict the expansion of the Stormwall, the expansion must have taken place in the same year. Meanwhile, the events of "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: No Big Deal" include the Stormwall's expansion and also depict the start of Pikka Adren's pregnancy. A later story, "Tales from the Occlusion Zone: Sparks Fly," states that Adren is eight months pregnant during its events, indicating that it is set eight months after "No Big Deal," and therefore one year, eight months, and two weeks after the fall of Starlight Beacon. "Sparks Fly" is set during the Battle of Eriadu, an event that begins in The High Republic Adventures Phase III - The Wedding Spectacular. As Star Wars: The High Republic Chronological Reader's Guide on StarWars.com (article) (backup link) places The High Republic (2023) 9 between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
