Description
Marchion Ro grew up aboard the family ship Gaze Electric and watched as his grandmother Shalla and his father Asgar turned the Nihil into a notable force in the Outer Rim, relying on a special skill in plotting hyperspace routes for swift raids. After his father was murdered by one of the Nihil leaders, he took the title of the Eye.
In 232 BBY he sent a ship to intercept the cargo vessel Legacy Run; the collision caused the Great Disaster. Taking advantage of the blockade of the hyperspace lanes, the Nihil struck several worlds, while he himself got rid of the troublesome leader Kassav Milliko by sending his unit into a Republic trap.
He gathered ancient control rods and creatures called the Nameless, whose presence cut the Jedi off from the Force, and used them at Grizal. He then brought them onto Starlight Beacon, which broke apart and fell onto Eiram, after which he openly revealed himself and cut off ten sectors of the Outer Rim from the Republic.
