The void forest was a forest located on the planet Umbara and was home to slybexes. It was so dark that Umbarans were not able to see their own hands in front of their face.[1] In 3624 BBY,[2] crystal guards were transporting crystals through the forest when they got attacked by an alpha slybex. The entire unit, save for Nira, was killed by the creature. Because of that, the forest was soon closed off to the crystal guard.[1]
Behind the scenes
The void forest was first mentioned in[1] the short story "Trading Scars" written by Samantha Wallschlaeger[3] and published in the developer blog for Star Wars: The Old Republic on August 17, 2017.[1]

Forums: Dear Story Team, What Year Are We Currently In? on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) the events of Game Updates released in 2017 can be placed in 3629 BBY, the events from Game Update 5.9 through 5.10 can be placed in 3628 BBY, and the events from Game Update 5.10.3 can be placed in 3627 BBY. Therefore, the events of Game Update 5.4: Crisis on Umbara can be placed in 3629 BBY. Nira stated that her story happened five years prior, so the events must have happened in 3624 BBY.
