Moon of Grast

The moon of Grast was a terrestrial moon where thousands died during an emergency that was potentially avoidable had members of the Graf family revealed hyperspace routes they had discovered. In 382 BBY, the incident was brought up when the family's Tilson Graf offered to serve as the new mediator of a proposed treaty signing on the moon Jedha.
==History==
During the High Republic Era, cousins of the Graf family member Tilson Graf discovered hyperspace routes but did not declare them, and an emergency that killed thousands on the moon of Grast occurred at some point after. Around 382 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of The High Republic: The Battle of Jedha to 382 BBY. the cousins were sanctioned by the Galactic Republic's Galactic Senate as it was believed that, had they disclosed the routes, it could have prevented the emergency.
That year, following the death of Morton San Tekka, the mediator of the intended signing of a treaty between the warring Outer Rim planets Eiram and E'ronoh on the Mid RimStar Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide moon Jedha, Graf volunteered to take his place. As Graf made his case to Republic Chairperson Meldan, she brought up the incident involving his cousins and the moon, believing that the Grafs' reputation had to be considered. In response, Graf noted it was unfair to judge all members of his family the same way because of the actions of some, and he was ultimately accepted as the new mediator.
