Unidentified Nihil team

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A team within the Nihil pirates was led by a Zabrak during the High Republic Era.^[1] In 229 BBY,^[2] the Nihil captured a Galactic Republic prison located near^[1] the Outer Rim planet^[3] Ryloth that was also within the Nihil's Occlusion Zone region of space. Afterward, the Zabrak instructed the team to evaluate the list of inmates at the prison to determine if any of them were Nihil or could be of use to the Nihil and therefore retrieved.^[1]

Later, the Zabrak attended a meeting at a Nihil fortress on^[1] the Outer Rim planet Hetzal Prime^[3] where they mentioned the captured prison and that their team had assessed the prison's inmates. A hologram featuring the name of three prisoners—Aurora, Boolan, and Xolein—written in^[1] the Aurebesh script^[4] was displayed while the Zabrak spoke. Boolan's name was recognized by Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro, who visited the prison personally to recruit the prisoner.^[1]
