Friielan's family

The family of the half-Theelin pilot Friielan was present on the Outer Rim planetThe High Republic: The Rising Storm Valo during the world's Republic Fair in 231 BBY. When Nihil marauders attacked the fair, the strike resulted in the deaths of numerous Jedi and civilians,Star Wars: Timelines including Friielan's immediate family members. Following their relatives' passing, the pilot adopted a sharply focused demeanor, though still maintained a companionable attitude.
By 228 BBY, Friielan—as part of the Republic Defense Coalition—began working with Jedi Master Avar Kriss on dangerous missions across the Nihil's Stormwall hyperspace barrier, which took the pair into the marauders' Occlusion Zone to rescue individuals and bring them back to Republic space. That year, Kriss reflected on how the loss of their family had resulted in Friielan's change in countenance.
