- "…This particular Jedi—Master Depa Billaba—is hardly a threat. Our intelligence identifies her as a failed commander, a liability to the Republic. In fact, according to this, you yourself faced her on Haruun Kal…where you decimated her troops and very nearly ended her life."
- ―General Kleeve, to General Grievous
Haruun Kal was a planet[5] located in the galaxy's Mid Rim, in grid square M-17 on the Standard Galactic Grid,[1] that was the homeworld of Mace Windu,[3] a human Jedi Master and champion of the Jedi Order.[6] During the Clone Wars, it was the site of a battle between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems.[4]
As a result of a conflict left over from the Clone Wars, the Imperial Military was deployed to counter an insurrection on Haruun Kal. The battle ended with an orbital bombardment under the Base Gamma One protocol, ending the insurrection with an Imperial victory. The bombardment was hot enough to boil the seas and send Imperials still on the ground into convulsions.[2] Although the forests were reduced to ash, by 34 ABY,[7] new Lammas tree saplings were beginning to sprout.[8]
Behind the scenes[]
Haruun Kal was first mentioned in the new Star Wars canon in a featurette[9] included in Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete Season One, a box set available on Blu-ray or DVD that included the entire first season of the canon animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars[10] that was released on November 3, 2009.[11] It was originally created for "Children of the Force," a Star Wars Legends story included in Star Wars Tales 13.[12]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Ultimate Cookbook establishes that the publishing of the in-universe The Ultimate Cookbook and the culinary tour that preceded it occurred following the publishing of The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook and prior to the destruction of Kijimi. It also establishes that The Ultimate Cookbook was published following the Festival of the Ancestors that occurred during that time period. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook further establishes that The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook was published concurrently with the First Order's search for the Resistance base on Batuu, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 34 ABY. In addition, Timelines dates the Festival of the Ancestors and the destruction of Kijimi to 35 ABY, meaning the tour must have taken place between 34 ABY and 35 ABY and The Ultimate Cookbook must have been published in 35 ABY.
