- "The Jedi Council are always open to seeking a diplomatic and peaceful solution to our differences with others. But understand this, Ghirra Starros—we do not, and cannot, recognize the authority of any regime that would willfully murder people in cold blood. If there is to be peace, then there must be an end to suffering and bloodshed."
- ―Soleil Agra, to Nihil Minister of Information Ghirra Starros
Soleil Agra was a Nautolan Jedi Master[2] native to[1] the Mid Rim planet[4] Glee Anselm[1] who sat on the Jedi High Council of the Jedi Order during the High Republic Era. She had yellow skin and black eyes, and wore a set of white and gold Jedi robes.[2] Agra pushed the Order's understanding of the Drift formation forward, which she likened to a school of fish on Glee Anselm. According to the Vurk Jedi Master Harli Cogra, she was a fine pilot and was an expert at bridging minds through the Force.[1]
Following the destruction of Starlight Beacon, Agra alongside[5] Grand Masters[2] Pra-Tre Veter and Xo Lahru sent out an urgent transmission on behalf of[5] Grand Master[2] Yoda and the Jedi Council to all Jedi informing them of Starlight Beacon's fall, as well as warning them to avoid the Outer Rim Territories as the Nihil continued their attacks, before finishing the message with a request for the Jedi to regroup on[5] the Core Worlds planet[4] Coruscant.[5] Cogra noted in the Chronicles of the Jedi, which they wrote[1] in 229 BBY,[6] that Agra's compassion and quiet strength in the wake of recent tragedies were inspiring, especially to Padawans and Jedi Knights who struggled to overcome their experiences.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: The High Republic: Chronicles of the Jedi establishes that the in-universe book Chronicles of the Jedi was written weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY. The issuing of the Guardian Protocols, dated by The High Republic Character Encyclopedia to 229 BBY, are depicted in The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight 1 as taking place one week after Starlight Beacon's destruction. With this, Chronicles of the Jedi must have been authored no earlier than 229 BBY. Chronicles of the Jedi further establishes that Pra-Tre Veter is still a Grand Master of the Jedi Order, meaning it was written before his death, which The High Republic Character Encyclopedia states took place in 229 BBY. Therefore, Chronicles of the Jedi must have been written in 229 BBY.
