The raid on Quilken was a raid during Nihil conflict on the rocky planet of Quilken in which Jedi Master Porter Engle set a trap for the Nihil, luring in the Storm Slombo and Tempest Runner Lourna Dee under the guise that a vault on Quilken contained treasure. The Storm Slombo commanded the initial attack, ordering his troops to defeat the security droids that were guarding the vault. Slombo became frustrated that the Nihil were having difficulty taking care of the droid guards, yelling at the Nihil forces under his command. They were then saved when Dee arrived above Quilken. When Slombo asked Dee as to why she was here, Dee replied that she was bearing the same intel of items of interest to the Nihil being located in the vault. Slombo objected to Dee taking over his mission, but Dee simply had another Nihil, Muglan Tarantyne, utilize scav droids to dismantle the guards and ignored Slombo's objections.[1]
While they worked on opening the vault, Dee lectured Slombo on how to better breach defenses and then entered the vault with him, only to be surprised by the presence of a Jedi, Porter Engle. Dee focused on attacking him by ordering the Nihil under her command to kill Engle but the Engle uses the Force to hurl scav droids at the advancing Nihil. Slombo was confused about the lack of treasure, amusing Engle, who had in fact lured the Nihil into a trap with fake intel about treasure in the vault. Slombo decided to disregard the lack of treasure and go instead for Engle, but when he checked to see where Dee was, he realized that she had abandoned him. Dee smugly responded that this was his raid and payload before telling him to enjoy it and left the planet, having no intent on dealing with a Jedi. Engle quickly captured the Nihil Storm and contacted[1] the Galactic Republic space station[3] Starlight Beacon, informing them of his haul and successful trap.[1]
