Attack on Trymant IV

The attack on Trymant IV, also known as the Battle on Trymant, was an attack carried out by Nihil marauders during the High Republic Era. The attack occurred at the same time Trymant IV was under threat from an Emergence of hyperspace debris from the Great Hyperspace Disaster, and began when the pirates, while attempting to collect Tromak of the Elders of the Path from Bralanak City, came into conflict with a group of Jedi which had arrived to provide aid on the cruiser Star Hopper. A group of Padawans who had been training onboard the starship confronted the pirates and requested the use of their Spider Cruiser to evacuate civilians, leading to a battle after Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro ordered the Nihil to execute the Jedi.

The apprentices were saved by Jedi Masters Yoda and Torban Buck, as well as gaining the assistance of Force-sensitive resident een Mrala. While Buck and the Padawans battled pirates in the city streets, Yoda boarded the Spider Cruiser in an attempt to rescue Mrala's friend Krix Kamerat, who had been hustled onboard at Tromak's insistence as his assistant. However, Kamerat, upset over the revelation that Mrala had lied to him about her Force-sensitivity, refused to leave. A Galactic Republic rescue fleet arrived to assist and set up a blockade, but the Nihil ship was able to escape to hyperspace after Ro had a medical frigate fired upon as a distraction.
