Historical information
- "I was kidnapped by a local group who wanted my mother to agitate for stronger trade controls in the Senate."
"You were kidnapped? That's terrible."
"Yeah, it wasn't great. My uncles found me and killed the people who had taken me, but my mother was upset when she found out." - ―Avon Starros and Honesty Weft[1]
Agroup was local to[1] theCore Worldsplanet[3]Hosnian Prime during theHigh Republic Era.[1] By235 BBY,[2] the group wanted Hosnian Prime'sRepublicjunior senator—Ghirra Starros—to agitate for stronger trade controls in theGalactic Senate. To ensure she did, the groupkidnapped Ghirra'sdaughterAvon when she snuck out of thefamily's home.[1] During Avon'stime ascaptive, she was forced to speak into aholorecorder so the group could demand aransom.[4] Eventually, Avon'suncles rescued her andkilled her kidnappers.[1]
In232 BBY,[2] when she spoke with theDalnanboyHonesty Weft on theOuter RimmoonWevo, Avon told him about the group that had abducted her.[1]Two years later,[5] after she had beenkidnapped by theNihilpirates, Avon was left with other abductedchildren. She then mentally compared the situation of being made to speak into the holorecorder by the local group to being dumped with other children like she had by the Nihil.[4]
