Indeed, their name alone was like a plague or hunting creature, spreading across the Outer Rim in a way that could not be fought or escaped. They saw themselves as riders of a "storm," and to that end used weather-related terminology in their structure and ranks, as well as a symbol of three lightning bolts.
After receiving access to the Paths from the Ro family, they adopted the Rule of Three to divide the proceeds of their raids, with the Eye of the Nihil receiving shares from raids that utilized the Paths. They viewed themselves as a sort of counterculture that opposed the expanding Galactic Republic, who they believed were encroaching on Nihil territory as well as robbing people of their freedom. The Nihil operated by a code of taking what they wanted and killing those that stood in their way. The Nihil were a criminal organization of anarchistic marauders based in the Outer Rim Territories. The Nihil were obsolete by the time of the Galactic Empire, though rhetoric and imagery associated with the marauders survived, as did their technology, such as the design of the Path engine. The Republic and Jedi eventually forced the Nihil to scatter. The Nihil as a result caused havoc throughout the Republic Frontier, such as an attack on Trymant IV and the torching of the planet Nelgenam and were believed to have helped seed the carnvirious Drengir species along the Galactic Frontier, causing thousands of deaths. In the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace Disaster, the Nihill began to defend their way of life from the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. Following this, Ro became the Eye of the Nihil where he eventually was murdered, and his son Marchion succeeded him. The Nihil began as a small pirate group operating out of Thull's Shroud, near Belsavis, who were at one point, approached by Asgar Ro with the offer of the Path engine, a device which he promised would allow them incredible mobility through hyperspace.
The Nihil were anarchistic marauders from the fringes of the Outer Rim Territories who raided planets that came to prominence during the High Republic Era that saw themselves as a counterculture to the expanding Galactic Republic, who they believed were encroaching on Nihil territory as well as robbing people of their freedom. Pan Eyta: " Who are we?" Nihil: " THE NIHIL!" Lourna Dee: " What do we ride?" Nihil: " THE STORM!" Kassav Milliko: " Who guides us?"
