A lily pad was a type of plant.[2] In 228 BBY,[5] the anti-Nihil operative Cair San Tekka sat on a broad ruffled lily pad in the central water garden of the planet Rilias II, where he was preparing to broadcast a message recorded by Jedi Master Avar Kriss. While sitting on the lily pad, San Tekka pretended he could feel the Force connecting him to it.[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 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.
