Destruction of the Lightning Crash

Canon Linked from 13 articles

In 228 BBY, the destruction of the Lightning Crash, also known as the attack on the Lightning Crash, was carried out by the Republic Defense Coalition and Jedi Order. The Republic and Jedi wanted to destroy the Lightning Crash, a Nihil space station which housed a crystal array that powered the Stormwall barrier in order to take out the Stormwall's power. Once the attack was a success and the station destroyed, the Republic Defense Coalition and Jedi began operations to round up any surviving Nihil as prisoners. After Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro learned that the Lightning Crash had been destroyed, he ordered for his flagship, the Gaze Electric to become the Stormwall's new power source.
