Skirmish on Vianax

In 229 BBY, Jedi Master Kelnacca of the Jedi Order and his Padawan, Yarzion Vell, fought members of the Nihil pirates on the Lol sector astronomical object Vianax in the Nihil-controlled Occlusion Zone as part of the Order's conflict with the marauders. At one point during the skirmish, Vell used his lightsaber to deflect blaster shots from the Nihil while Kelnacca leapt over several of the pirates and attacked one upon landing. The Nihil suffered at least two casualties during the fighting.

Following the battle, multiple children, including a human and an Elomin, watched as Kelnacca and Vell helped clear debris and make repairs. Around 149 BBY, when Vell was dying, he told his own Padawan, Ordea, about his training under Kelnacca and mentioned the skirmish while telling them about Kelnacca's bravery and powerfulness.
