Attack on the Steady Wing

The attack on the Steady Wing, also known as the destruction of the Steady Wing or the Steady Wing massacre, occurred shortly after the Great Hyperspace Disaster, when the Galactic Republic starship Steady Wing was bombed by undercover Nihil saboteurs Gwishi and Klinith Da. Disguised as mechanics, the two pirates had been sent to sabotage Republic expansion into the Dalnan sector, as a Dalnan diplomatic party was traveling aboard the Steady Wing to the dedication ceremony of the Starlight Beacon space station. The chaos of the bombing led a young party comprised of Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh, her charge Avon Starros, Starros' droid J-6, Padawan Imri Cantaros, and Honesty Weft, the son of the Dalnan ambassador, to evacuate in a shuttle, subsequently becoming stranded on the jungle moon Wevo. The Steady Wing was destroyed shortly after their escape, killing everyone onboard.
