In 228 BBY, Jedi Grand Master Yoda undertook a mission to a Nihil satellite after he felt a disturbance in the Force that had come from the station. After arriving, Yoda discovered he had been lured to the satellite by the Nihil, who intended to kill him the Great Leveler, a Force-consuming Nameless creature. While there, Yoda rescued a family of Twi'leks who had been captured by the Nihil to lure Yoda to the station, ultimately escaping despite the Nihil's attempts to kill him.
