Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III – Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone is a 4-issue canon comic miniseries published by Dark Horse Comics as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project (Phase III).
Overview
Set in the Occlusion Zone — the region of space isolated by the Nihil’s Stormwall, where hyperspace travel and communications are blocked — the story follows Jedi Knights Keeve Trennis and Elzar Mann using ancient probe droids to send and receive messages of hope. These «dispatches» form an anthology of interconnected tales featuring Jedi, allies, and survivors trapped inside the zone, building toward the final confrontation with the Nihil marauders.
The series is structured as an anthology, with each issue spotlighting different characters and events:
- Jedi Knight Qort preparing for war on Eriadu
- Rebel fighter Ruu forming unlikely alliances
- Detective Emerick Caphtor investigating the Nameless (Force-eating creatures)
- Saber-for-hire Ty Yorrick hunting Nihil on Dalna
It bridges ongoing Phase III stories and sets up the era’s climactic events, occurring around 228 BBY (about a century before The Acolyte).
