Incident on Eiram

Around 228 BBY, an incident took place on the planet Eiram when the sentient carnivorous plants known as the Drengir, which had previously been believed to have been defeated, began kidnapping citizens of the Eirami city Barraza City in an attempt to escape the planet as the spread of the plague known as the blight headed to Eiram. The Drengir were ultimately defeated by citizens of the city, as well as several Jedi, Republic Defense Coalition members, and former Nihil that had formed the Hurricanes gang.

While their attempt to escape Eiram had failed, the Great Progenitor of the Drengir knew they would try again, that they would survive no matter the cost to the galaxy and that she would rise from Eiram's ocean.
