Ambush on Hetzal Prime

Canon Linked from 6 articles

In 228 BBY, Jedi Master Avar Kriss and journalist Rhil Dairo were ambushed by Nihil marauders led by General Viess. The Nihil killed Quith Meglar, a Nihil defector who had agreed to help smuggle Dairo and Kriss out of the Nihil's Occlusion Zone. Kriss dueled Viess, who used her beskar armor to deflect Kriss's lightsaber. Eventually, Jedi Master Porter Engle arrived and joined the fight. Knowing she could not take down both Engle and Kriss, Viess retreated.
