381 BBY, or 381[2] Before the Battle of Yavin, was a year in the 'ABY-BBY' dating system that was a part of the High Republic Era. During the year, tensions between the Galactic Republic and the Togruta species spawned in the aftermath of the Republic-Togruta conflict existed. Around that same year, Marda Ro—the Evereni founder of a group of pirates who would eventually become the Nihil—began her search for others of her species by visiting the planet Dantooine, where she ended up recruiting the Twi'lek Fori Nagor into her group of marauders.
381 BBY was first indirectly mentioned in Star Wars: The High Republic: Chronicles of the Jedi, a reference book written by Cole Horton and released on February 28, 2023, as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project. It later appeared in a flashback in the short story "A Closed Fist Has No Claws," written by Tessa Gratton and published in the young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life released on September 5, 2023, also as a part of the multimedia project.
