Stripe melon

A stripe melon was a type of melon. In 228 BBY,Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates Starlight Beacon's fall and the Guardian Protocols' implementation to 230 BBY and 229 BBY, respectively, while Shadows of Starlight 1 establishes that the Guardian Protocols' implementation happened one week after the space station's destruction. The events of The High Republic: Defy the Storm take place at least one year and two weeks after Starlight Beacon's fall, equating to 228 BBY. Rismo, a Rodian bartender at the Violarza, was shucking a stripe melon when he was approached by the human Xylan Graf, who wanted to set up a meeting between Jordanna Sparkburn and Cair San Tekka, Graf's husband and the zitherist at the Violarza. According to Graf, the pith between the stripe melon's pockets of fruit added a nice aromatic to certain cocktails, and the fruit itself was delicous when roasted.
