"The reinforcements have made all the difference, marshal—although the Togruta are reporting a pack of phantom akul on Regasa Elarec's throneship."

―Velko Jahen, to Keeve Trennis^[1]

Akul were an entity known to the Togruta^[1] species.^[2] In 228 BBY,^[3] during the High Republic Era, the Royal Togruta Fleet led by the throneship of Regasa^[1] Elarec Yovet^[2] arrived to reinforce the Galactic Republic Stormwall Defense Fleet that was participating in the Battle of Eriadu against the Nihil^[1] pirates.^[2] After their arrival, the Togruta on the regasa's throneship, began seeing a pack of phantom akul, which unbeknownst to them were illusions created by the Nihil Child of the Storm H'Tar.^[1]

The throneship then reported about the akul to Commander Velko Jahen on the Longbeam cruiser Gios. When Jedi Master Keeve Trennis asked Jahen to provide^[1] her^[4] a report, the commander informed Trennis about the phantom akul. Shortly after, H'Tar was killed.^[1]
