Naboo mining disaster

By 232 BBY, a mining disaster took place on the Mid Rim planet Naboo during the High Republic Era. The Jedi Keaton Murag—who was stationed on the world as the marshal of the Naboo temple—saved hundreds of lives during the disaster, and his actions earned him the respect of the Naboo monarchy.

In 229 BBY, Jedi Master Harli Cogra wrote a book titled Chronicles of the Jedi, which detailed the Jedi of the High Republic Era, and included a mention of the disaster in the first chapter of the book within a section dedicated to Murag. Cogra noted that, according to accounts from survivors of the disaster, Murag had single-handedly used the Force to hold back an explosion which allowed miners to escape, and afterward downplayed his own bravery.
