Battle of Nield's village

"Then the Melida invaded his village. His cousin escaped and took him to Zehava."

- Cerasi, recounting Nield's childhood to Obi-Wan Kenobi

In the late 50s BBY, the Melida, one of the two warring factions on the planet Melida/Daan along with the Daan, invaded the village where the Daan child Nield was living with his cousin at the time. His cousin escaped the village, taking Nield with her to the city of Zehava.

Behind the scenes
This battle is briefly mentioned on page 65 of the 1999 young readers book The Defenders of the Dead, the fifth entry in Jude Watson's Jedi Apprentice young readers series, as Nield's friend Cerasi recounts the struggles of Nield's childhood to Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi. The book does not explicitly say who the Melida's opponent in the battle was, nor does it indicate the outcome.
