Aurora (prisoner)

Aurora was an individual who lived during the High Republic Era. By 229 BBY,The section of The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight 4 that mentions Aurora takes place five months after the destruction of Starlight Beacon. Per the reasoning here, the section must therefore occur in 229 BBY. Aurora was imprisoned in a Galactic Republic prison near the Outer Rim planetStar Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy Ryloth that was also located within the Nihil pirates' Occlusion Zone region of space.
That year, the Nihil captured the prison and a team led by a Zabrak evaluated the prison's inmates—including Aurora—to see if any were Nihil, or if any might be useful enough to be recovered. Afterward, at a meeting held at a Nihil fortress on the Outer Rim planet Hetzal Prime, the Zabrak mentioned the captured prison, and that their team had assessed the inmates. As the Zabrak spoke, a hologram was displayed showing Aurora's name written in the Aurebesh scriptStar Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia alongside fellow prisoners Boolan and Xolein. Recognizing the name Boolan, Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro personally visited the prison and recruited Boolan into the Nihil.
