Engagement in the Dreighton Nebula

In 231 BBY, the Galactic Republic engaged the Nihil pirates in the Dreighton Nebula during Operation Counterstrike—the Republic and Jedi Order's response to the devastation inflicted by the Nihil on the Outer Rim planetThe High Republic: The Rising Storm Valo during the Republic Fair. The battle resulted in a victory for the Republic Defense Coalition. While on the space station Starlight Beacon shortly before the Battle of Galov later in the same year, Avar Kriss—the Jedi marshal of the station—reported the engagement against the Nihil in the Dreighton Nebula during a briefing to update the Jedi and members of the defense coalition on the status of Operation Counterstrike.
