Publisher's summary[]

When an important Republic droid is captured by the ruthless Nihil commander called the Warden, Crash Ongwa sends Jedi Padawan turned freedom fighter Ruu to rescue it from the Warden's clutches. Meanwhile, teenage Nihil member Driggit Parse is tasked with hacking the droid, but she just might have her own ideas about how to use it…

See how they all collide in award-winning author Alyssa Wong's High Republic Adventures debut!

Four issue series.

Opening crawl[]

STAR WARS
THE HIGH REPUBLIC
TRIALS OF THE JEDI

The Republic has launched a volley
of centuries-old EX DROIDS into the
OCCLUSION ZONE in an effort to
contact allies trapped behind the
STORMWALL. Two of the droids, which
possess old-fashioned hardware that
allows them to pass by NIHIL defenses
undetected, landed on the planet
ERIADU, which is currently occupied by
a warlord called THE WARDEN.

One of the droids was found by JEDI
KNIGHT QORT, who used it to share
information about his resistance
movement on the planet. As for the
second droid, nobody knows who may
have found it….

↑ 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 Adventures – Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone 2 between the events of "No Big Deal" and The Wedding Spectacular, its events must also be set in 228 BBY.
