An individual was a pilot for the Republic Defense Coalition during the High Republic Era.[2] In 228 BBY,[1] the pilot took part in missions undertaken by the Jedi Order and Republic Defense Coalition to cross the Nihil pirates Stormwall barrier using the Sunvale device to rescue refugees from the Nihil's Occlusion Zone region of space and bring them to Republic space. While undertaking one such mission with Jedi Knight Ilsan Kowal, the pilot and Kowal were killed.[2] Later the same year,[1] Jedi Master Avar Kriss mentally recalled the pilot's death before she undertook a mission of her own.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 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, including the death of Ilsan Kowal's pilot, 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.
