A skirmish on the Outer Rim planet of Florrum took place around 20 BBY. The battle was fought between the pirate forces of Hondo Ohnaka, backed by the Jedi Order, and the secessionist pirate forces swayed away from Ohnaka's leadership by the Nightbrothers Darth Maul and Savage Opress. Being self proclaimed crime lords determined to seize control of the criminal underworld, Maul and Opress traveled to Florrum with the intention of seizing Ohnaka's pirating empire by force. After an initial scuffle with pirate forces in orbit of Florrum led by Lieutenant Jiro, Maul successfully bribed Jiro and his men with a promise of great wealth, keeping them alive in exchange for unquestioned devotion to Maul's cause. After unsuccessfully ordering Ohnaka to stand down, Maul and Opress, along with their newly acquired pirate army, laid siege to the pirate headquarters to eliminate anyone still loyal to Ohnaka.

The Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Adi Gallia soon arrived to arrest the two Nightbrothers. While the split pirate forces battled it out, Kenobi and Gallia fought Maul and Opress, respectively. Gallia eventually fell to Savage's sheer brute strength, being gored by his Zabrak horns before being finished off with his lightsaber. Outnumbered, Kenobi and Ohnaka's forces retreated indoors, with Maul and his men in pursuit. Ohnaka managed to lure the surviving pirate opposition into a trap and force them into a surrender, reunifying the pirate gang. Meanwhile, Kenobi fought both Nightbrothers by dual-wielding his and Adi Gallia's lightsabers, managing to sever Opress's right arm. Maul and Opress soon fled to their ship, being pursued by the newly reunified pirate forces; Maul lost a robotic leg in the process. After takeoff, the pirate forces destroyed one of their ship's engines, forcing the two to evacuate in an escape pod.
