Thorn pear

Thorn pears were a type of green, ovoid-shaped fruit that were sweet in flavor and small in size. In the year 5 BBY, a Rodian fruit vendor offered them for sale from his stall in the settlement of Kothal on the planet Lothal. The following year, the Jablogian crime lord Azmorigan ate a thorn pear as part of a fruit dinner onboard his C-ROC Gozanti-class light cruiser and the father of Opaline Creed member Hazram Namir snuck a pear into his son's backpack when the pair met at a market on their homeworld Crucival.
==Description==
Thorn pears were a type of small, sweet-tasting fruit that was edible to members of both the human and Jablogian species.Ultimate Star Wars They were green colored ovoids covered in small spikes with a brown stalk at one end and green juice. The fruit's skin was soft enough that a Jablogian could bite through it. The fruit could be found growing stubbornly in the alley ways of settlements on the planet Crucival.
==History==
In the year 5 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas a Rodian fruit vendor in the settlement of Kothal was selling thorn pears and jogan fruit from a street market stall when the rebels Garazeb Orrelios and Ezra Bridger arrived in the area searching for supplies. The following year, the Jablogian crime lord Azmorigan was eating a platter of fruits including a thorn pear for dinner when he was visited by the "galactic entrepreneur" Lando Calrissian and his associates on board his C-ROC Gozanti-class light cruiser Merchant One. After trading the slave Hera Syndulla for a puffer pig with Azmorigan, Calrissian left and the crime lord continued his dinner, biting into one side of a thorn pear as he held it. Covering his face in the fruit's juice as he ate and then spitting some it out onto the floor, he offered the rest of the half-eaten morsel to Syndulla, who turned it down and soon after escaped from his ownership.
In the same year, the father of human Crucival native Hazram Namir slipped a slightly bruised thorn pear into his son's bag when the long estranged pair met by coincidence at a bazaar on the planet Crucival. Namir, who went by the name Umu Seven at the time and had been in the bazaar to purchase supplies for the Opaline Creed he served, was puzzled when he later discovered the fruit and then nearly dropped it when he realized that it was a gift. Not wanting the pear, he placed it in the storeroom of the cloister that he and the rest of the Creed dwelt in.
