Battle of Kur

The Battle of Kur, also known as the battle at Kur, was a battle fought between an alliance of the Galactic Republic, the Jedi Order and forces from the planet Eriadu against Nihil pirates at the Kur Nebula in 232 BBY. The battle had been set up by Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro, who sent Tempest Runner Kassav Milliko and his Tempest to their deaths in order to conceal the Nihil's true numbers. During the battle, the Trandoshan Jedi Master Sskeer lost an arm, and Master Jora Malli, the commander of the Jedi contingent, was killed. Afterwards, it was noted by Jedi including Master Avar Kriss and Sskeer's recently promoted former Padawan Keeve Trennis that Sskeer had been seriously affected by the battle, suffering trauma and acting unusually.
