Engagement on Magaveene

In 231 BBY, forces of the Galactic Republic's Republic Defense Coalition and Jedi Order led by Jedi Master and Marshal Avar Kriss engaged the Nihil pirate organization on Magaveene, an astronomical object located in the Magaveene system within the Prefsbelt sector of the Outer Rim. The battle was part of the Jedi and Republic's response—known as Operation: Counterstrike—to the atrocity carried out by the Nihil on the Outer Rim planet Valo, where it destroyed the Republic Fair being held there.

As the battle was ongoing, the Frozian Jedi Knight Nooranbakarakana was sent to assist Kriss with a drift of Jedi Vector starfighters from the Republic space station Starlight Beacon. The engagement ultimately resulted in victory for the Jedi and Republic forces. Later that year, Kriss mentioned the Magaveene engagement while updating Jedi and defense coalition members aboard Starlight Beacon of the status of Operation Counterstrike shortly before the Battle of Galov.
