The Kela'pi family's general store was a store located in theHaplak district neighborhood ofLonisa City on theOuter RimplanetValo. It hadcyan-colored walls for sometime, though the coloration faded after being covered by the markings ofNihilmarauders. TheKela'pi family's store had severalglasswindows.[1]
History[]
During theHigh Republic Era, the Kela'pi family ran the store, and localValons living in the neighborhood often acquired various goods from it. TheJedi younglingGavi became familiar with the store during hischildhood and was welcomed by the establishment's owners, often spending a lot of time in the area visiting his friend—the ValongirlDriggit Parse—in herhome nearby.[1]
Gavi was familiar with the general store and the Kela'pi family.
When the Nihil beganoccupying Valo[1] in230 BBY,[2] they ransacked local businesses andstole from Lonisa City'sresidents. At one point, the occupiers defaced the general store's walls with Nihil markings, resulting in its original colors fading underneath the scrawl. The establishment opted to board their windows after the Nihil broke at least one.[1]
While returning to the Haplak district with members of hiscrew[1] in229 BBY,[2] Gavi walked past the Kela'pi family's general store and noticed MissKela'pi kneeling beneath one of the establishment's broken windows, sweeping up freshly shattered glass. Saddened, he briefly wished to help her bymoving the shards. However, he eventually opted not to, reflecting on his recent inability to tap intothe Force and the risk of being recognized as aJedi due to the Nihil occupation. Not long afterward, the Nihil fled Valo and ended their occupation of the planet.[1]
