"Now, it wasn't that rough a crowd,: but I guess a fancy-pants school like the University of Byblos doesn't prepare you for a spot like ours on Vandor."
―Tivoche Bilure mentions the university in his book[1]

The University of Byblos was a university on Byblos,[1] an astronomical object in the Colonies region.[2] A young geology student from the university once visited the Lodge in Fort Ypso on the planet Vandor. After looking at the other patrons, he asked the bartender Tivoche Bilure if he was afraid that criminals would one day take over the Lodge, but Bilure stated it was unlikely as the criminals would not want to run it.[1]

Several years later, Bilure wrote about the incident in a book detailing his time at the Lodge. He recalled that the other patrons at the Lodge that night had not actually been that rough a crowd, but assumed that somewhere like the University of Byblos, which he considered a fancy institution, likely had not prepared the student for such a locale.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

In the current Star Wars canon, the University of Byblos was mentioned in the 2018 replica journal Solo: A Star Wars Story: Tales from Vandor, which was written by Jason Fry.[1] The university originated in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first mentioned in "Crimson Jailbreak," a story written by Peter M. Schweighofer and published in Star Wars Adventure Journal 5[3] in February, 1995.[4]
