Coral bass were a type of bass[1] that partially shared their name with coral, stationary plant-like organisms.[2] While in the San Tekka compound on the planet Naboo[1] in 228 BBY,[3] coral bass was grilled by the San Tekka family's kitchens. The dish was then served at a meal for Nihil General Abediah Viess—who had forcibly taken over the residence following the departure of its patriarchs, Vellis and Marlowe—and her captive, the human Cair San Tekka, a younger member of the family who engaged in anti-Nihil resistance activities. Though Cair was reluctant to dine with the Nihil, he mentally lamented that refusing the food would not be a smart decision for his physical well-being.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Coral bass appeared in the 2024 novel Temptation of the Force, written by Tessa Gratton and published as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[4]

- ↑ 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: Temptation of the Force takes place one year and six weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon and its events span a few months, its events must be set in 228 BBY.
