Two people existed in the time of the High Republic Era. They belonged to the Elders of the Path circa 247 BBY. This religious organization opposed the use of the Force. These individuals were the parents of a Force-sensitive Mikkian daughter named Zeen Mrala. By 237 BBY, when Mrala was a young child, she became separated from her parents; they began residing in a different commune than their daughter, as the organization did not support strong familial connections between parents and their children. In 232 BBY, while living on the Outer Rim planet Trymant IV, Mrala thought back on her life and remembered her separation from her parents, commenting that they had "disappeared" into another commune.
The parents of Zeen Mrala were initially referenced in the first issue of Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures, a comic series from 2021. This series was released as part of Phase I of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project. Daniel José Older wrote the issue, and IDW Publishing published it on February 3, 2021.
