- "The sculpture you described can only be the Firebird of Colsassa, a relic dating back to the Third Cataclysm. A fairly insignificant item, but one that has been in our collection for over a millennium."
- ―Zumeg, to Matthea Cathley and Vildar Mac
The Third Cataclysm was an event that took place[2] by 1382 BBY.[1] The Firebird of Colsassa, a sculpture[2] made of kyber that depicted a starbird,[3] dated back to the Third Cataclysm.[2] In 382 BBY,[1] Jedi Master[4] Vildar Mac and Jedi Padawan Matthea Cathley informed[2] the Disciples of the Whills[5] of the theft of a relic from the Temple of the Kyber in the Holy City of[2] the Mid Rim moon[6] Jedha that archivist Zumeg believed could only be the Firebird of Colsassa. As[2] he[7] led the two Jedi to where the sculpture was supposed to be within the temple, Zumeg informed them of the Firebird of Colsassa's origins back to the Third Cataclysm and that it had been in the Disciples' collection for over a millennium.[2]

Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates the events of The High Republic (2022) 2 and The High Republic (2022) 4 to 382 BBY. As The High Republic (2022) 3 takes place between the events of the two aforementioned comics, its events must also take place in that year. As the comic establishes that the Firebird of Colsassa dated back to the Third Cataclysm and had been in the possession of the Disciples of the Whills for over a millennium, the cataclysm must have occurred by 1382 BBY.
