Expansion of the Stormwall

The expansion of the Stormwall was the expansion of the territory within the Nihil-controlled area of the Outer Rim known as the Occlusion Zone in 228 BBY, achieved by moving and increasing the size of the Stormwall. Several star systems, two whole sectors, and half of the Seswenna sector were swallowed by the zone's new borders. The expansion was carried out under the orders of Marchion Ro, who acted in feigned outrage toward the Galactic Republic's refusal to provide the Nihil with representation in the Galactic Senate, as well as the Republic Defense Coalition's recent assault on the Stormwall. The shift in the Stormwall's position also trapped RDC operatives Pikka Adren and Joss Adren, who had been on the Stormwall's prior border investigating an apparently abandoned Nihil ship, behind enemy lines and trapped within Nihil space.
