Engagement on Selvernis

Between 232 BBY and 231 BBY, Jedi Master Avar Kriss of the Jedi Order engaged the Drengir—sentient carnivorous plants who used the dark side of the Force—on the planet Selvernis. The engagement was part of the Jedi Order's response to the Drengir threat, after the dark side users had been seeded across the galaxy by the Nihil pirates to distract the Jedi.

In 228 BBY, when Cair San Tekka, a member of the San Tekka clan, presented Kriss with several potential terminus points for the plague known as the blight on a map, she noticed that Selvernis was one such point. The Jedi Master then realized a connection: she had personally fought the Drengir on Selvernis before the blight's appearance, recalling the battle and suggested that the planet could be significant in understanding the blight's origins and spread.
