Naboo mining disaster


By the year 232 BBY, during the period known as the High Republic Era, a catastrophic mining disaster occurred on Naboo, a planet situated in the Mid Rim. The Jedi Keaton Murag, serving as the marshal of the Naboo temple and stationed on Naboo, played a crucial role in rescuing hundreds of individuals; his deeds garnered him the admiration of the Naboo monarchy.

In 229 BBY, Jedi Master Harli Cogra authored a book entitled Chronicles of the Jedi. This book recounted the stories of Jedi from the High Republic Era and, within its first chapter, featured an account of the disaster in a section focused on Murag. Cogra recounted that, based on survivor testimonies, Murag single-handedly employed the Force to stop an explosion, facilitating the escape of the miners, and subsequently minimized his own courageous actions.
