==Biography==
Zeekay was a droid that belonged to the child Yesula and her father. His databank contained holos of Yesula's mother, who had passed away. At some point no earlier than 227 BBY,The section of The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1 in which Zeekay appears occurs at least three years after the Destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY. their home on the astronomical object Veek caught on fire. While Yesula and her father were being rescued by Jedi Master Kelnacca and his Padawan, Yarzion Vell, Yesula protested against her father's attempts to leave, as she knew the droid was still inside their burning home. After they safely escaped, Yesula told the Jedi that Zeekay was still inside. When Vell asked who Zeekay was, Yesula's father informed the Jedi he was their droid and added that losing Zeekay did not matter because he was old and barely functioning. Yesula, however, explained that holos of her mother remained in Zeekay's databank and said that losing him would be like losing her again. Upon hearing this, Vell reentered the home and rescued Zeekay. When Vell reunited Yesula with Zeekay, the droid beeped and Yesula's father thanked the Padawan.
Vell then apologized to his master for rescuing the droid, but Kelnacca immediately knighted him for his actions. By 133 BBY,"Day"—which the events of take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes that Kelnacca had lived on Khofar for at least a year. As the present day events of The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1 occur before Kelnacca lived on Khofar, they must take place by that year. as Vell was dying, he told his own Padawan, Ordea, about his rescue of Zeekay.
