The legend of Lord Nyax was a part of the mythology of Corellia. A scary bedtime story was told to Corellian children that Lord Nyax came to steal young boys and girls from their beds. Later in history, the folk tale of Lord Nyax was merged with Darth Vader's covert missions to kidnap Force-sensitive younglings, and spread from Corellia over the wider galactic community.
Throughout history, other beings had their identity assimilated to that of the evil spirit. At the time of the Galactic Civil War, a Corellian sect known as the Cult of Lord Nyax carried out horrendous acts of terrorism against the local population in the name of their deity. During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, the Dark Side Adept Irek Ismaren assumed the identity of Lord Nyax after hearing it in the minds of those he tortured.
