- "It's not safe. Even with Deva, it's just not safe, Mother. At the brunch for the visiting Hynestian queen, someone tried to poison me."
- ―Avon Starros, to Ghirra Starros
A Hynestian female member of the Hynestian royal family served as the queen of[1] the Colonies[2] planet Hynestia[3] during the High Republic Era.[1] Between 230 BBY and 228 BBY,[4] the queen visited the compound of the Nihil pirates on[1] the Outer Rim planet[5] Hetzal Prime for a brunch. During the event, an unsuccessful attempt to poison the scientist Avon Starros took place.[1] In 228 BBY,[4] Avon recalled the attempt to poison her during the queen's visit when she tried to convince her mother Ghirra that staying at the compound was not safe for her.[1]

The Hynestian queen was mentioned in the 2024 young-adult novel The High Republic: Defy the Storm, written by Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[6]

- ↑ 4.0 4.1 The High Republic: Defy the Storm—which the events of take place in 228 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes that the queen visited Hetzal Prime between the formation of the Occlusion Zone and the novel's events. As Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates the Occlusion Zone's formation to 230 BBY, the queen must have visited between 230 BBY and 228 BBY.
