Darth Nihilus is chargeable for setting off the First Jedi Purge. In “Star Wars Tales” #24 by (Chris Avellone, Dustin Weaver, and Michael Heisler), the comedian exhibits the Sith villain’s assault on the Mid-Rim Miraluka colony of Katarr, 4,000 years earlier than the rise of the Galactic Empire. Sensing the Pressure power of the final recognized members of the Jedi secretly assembly on the planet, he feasts on the world, eliminating each single dwelling creature apart from one Miralukan survivor:Â Visas Marr. Like her fellow Miraluka, Marr was able to seeing Pressure power regardless of having no eyes. Nihilus finally carved out the place her eyes can be if she had them and let the darkness circulation by way of her, taking her on as his apprentice.
Marr labored for Darth Nihilus, monitoring down Meetra Surik, the Jedi Exile (and participant character from “Knights of the Previous Republic II”)Â who tried to seek out the surviving Jedi Order. Unbeknownst to Nihilus, Surik teamed up alongside the previous Darth Traya (now Kreia), not a Sith, and noticed his apprentice depart the darkish facet of the Pressure. Nihilus is ultimately tricked into attacking Telos IV, believing he’s about to wipe out extra Pressure customers. Nevertheless, a bunch led by Surik and Kreia snuck onto his ship and planted explosives on board, killing Nihilus and ending his starvation as soon as and for all.
