![]() What we do know is that the Drengir have a hive mind they share, one connected to the power of the dark side. ![]() Right now there are still a lot of mysteries surrounding the Drengir, and why they seem to know the Jedi well, after having been left in dormant stasis due to a Force seal the Jedi placed on a remote Outer Rim space station the Drengir invaded (see: Into The Dark). The Drengir are ferocious and nearly indestructible, able to survive being cut in half by a lightsaber by forming two independent new bodies from the severed halves. A species of sentient and amorphous plant creatures, the Drengir hunger for fresh meat and view other sentient lifeforms as their buffet. The other villains that The High Republic is introducing are Drengir. Nihil operatives have shown up all over The HIgh Republic: A new leader has emerged in the group (Marchion Ro, the "Eye of the Nihil"), and Into the Dark introduced Nihil that managed to connect with padwan Reath Silas on a romantic level, suggesting the group is not all cut-and-dry bad. The Nihil also build giant warships from remnants of conquered ships, and use chemical weapons like gas and poison to destroy their enemies. This essentially allows Nihil ships to vanish and reappear at will, even in small spaces of battle. Light of the Jedi revealed that the Nihil have a piece of tech called a Path engine, which allows them to travel incredibly fast through hyperspace pathways other ships cannot access. The Nihil attack and raid whatever ships or worlds they come across, with an entire payment structure for their plundered goods. The Nihil are marauders in the Outer Rim who divide their syndicate into three "Tempests" which are led by "Tempest Runners" that command smaller regiments known as Storms, Clouds, and Strikes. New High Republic space pirates The Nihil have quickly proven to be as complex as the Jedi Order during their initial introduction during The High Republic. The events of Light of the Jedi, Into The Dark, Star Wars: The High Republiccomics, and the Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures comic, all revolve around the various Jedi on Starlight Beacon (Avar Kriss), near it (Keeve Trennis, Master Sskeer), or traveling there (Reath Silas, Lula Talisola) when the disaster occurs prev next ![]() Due to the disaster in Hyperspace, the Jedi are forced to spread their ranks across the region to save the day while others are suddenly thrown off their intended course and into unexpected adventures in the unknown regions of space. The destruction of the Legacy Run and the resulting galactic calamity all unfold on the eve of the Jedi Order and Republic jointly opening "Starlight Beacon," a major outpost that will bring the laws, order, and light of The Republic to the wild Outer Rim region. When the vessel called the Legacy Run collides with a mysterious object during hyperspace transit, the resulting destruction blasts loads of shrapnel into real space at speeds fast enough to vaporize anything they collide with - even entire planets. The first major event that kicks off Star Wars: The High Republic is a major disaster in hyperspace (dubbed "The Great Disaster") that threatens an entire system of planets in the Outer Rim Territories.
