Battle near Genetia

In 229 BBY, Mirialan Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh took part in a battle near Genetia against the Nihil pirates, during the Jedi Order's offensive against the Nihil after the formation of the Stormwall barrier that prevented hyperspace travel into the Occlusion Zone, a region of Nihil controlled space.Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia The battle, which took place near the Expansion RegionStar Wars Galaxy Map planetThe High Republic: Out of the Shadows Genetia, convinced Rwoh that the Order was lost in the fight against the Nihil and that the Galactic Republic would have to combat the pirates until the Order found its way again.
After the battle and dropping Jedi Knight Lyssa Votz off on Genetia, Rwoh, already dealing with trauma after the destruction of the space station Starlight Beacon, decided she had had enough and that she would follow the will of the Force. Later that year, the Mirialan mentally reflected on the battle, noting it had been "particularly awful," and the effects it had on her. The following year, Rwoh returned to the Order.The High Republic: Defy the Storm
