An individual who served in the Galactic Republic Defense Coalition was secretly a spy for former Republic Senator Ghirra Starros, who eventually sided with the Nihil pirates and became its Minister of Information.[1] In 228 BBY,[2] Xylan Graf, a member of the Graf family whose Lightning Crash space station had been taken over by the Nihil and used to house a crystal array which powered the pirates Stormwall barrier, fled and returned to Republic space. When speaking with the Nihil spy Nan about Graf and his escape, Starros considered checking in with her spy in the Republic Defense Coalition as she suspected that Graf would provide the Republic with data about the Lightning Crash and Stormwall.[1]
Behind the scenes[]

- ↑ 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.
