Search for Marchion Ro

In 228 BBY,^[2] the Jedi Order undertook a search for Marchion Ro in an attempt to hunting down and stopping Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro. After they were provided a series of locations Ro had visited by Nihil Minister of Information Ghirra Starros, the Jedi determined he was investigating a plague known as the blight which they also believed could be linked with a reappearance of the Drengir sentient carnivorous plants. After choosing the planet Vixoseph I as a location that Ro could visit, a group of Jedi and Republic Defense Coalition forces headed to the planet. While Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh did encounter the Eye on Vixoseph I, he ultimately escaped. The following day, Ro himself arrived on^[1] the Core Worlds planet^[4] Coruscant, informing the Jedi and Republic that he was their only hope of defeating the blight plague that had been appearing across the galaxy.^[1]
