As the Nihil targeted the temple, the leader instructed to only hit the Jedi and not civilian starships.
A confused underling questioned the decision, thinking that their goal was still the same as those of the first wave of the attacks the Nihil carried out throughout the galaxy: to cause damage and confusion. However, the Cloud leader snappishly explained that they had transitioned to exclusively attacking Jedi in order to send them a message. That goal was ultimately successful, as the attack resulted in the destruction of the Jedi temple and the deaths of every Jedi on Chespea, shocking the Jedi and the Galactic Republic and forcing the latter's Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh, who had believed the Nihil were no longer a serious threat to the Republic, to acknowledge that they still posed a real problem.
