LothalNet

LothalNetRebel Journal by Ezra Bridger was a vast grid of communications towers located on the planet Lothal. It coordinated air travel between the planet's scattered settlementsStar Wars Rebels: The Rebellion Begins and guided visitors to spaceports until it was supplanted by a more advanced Imperial network by 5 BBY.Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of Ezra's Gamble to 5 BBY. As Ezra Bridger had taken up residence in LothalNet comm tower E-272 by the events of Ezra's Gamble, it can be deduced that the Galactic Empire had replaced the LothalNet communications grid by 5 BBY. When LothalNet comm tower E-272, located in grid Q6 of the Western Zone, fell into disuse after the area was seized by the Empire, the thief Ezra Bridger took up residence in the tower. Bridger mentioned Lothalnet in his journal, published no earlier than the same year.Rebel Journal by Ezra Bridger establishes that Ezra Bridger's journal was completed following the events of Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion. As Star Wars: Timelines dates Spark of Rebellion to 5 BBY, the work must have been finished by no earlier than that year.
