A Miraluka planet called Katarr drew Nihilus' attention because of the Miralukas' connection to the Force and the presence of a Jedi enclave on the planet. Eventually, Nihilus and Sion betrayed their master and severed her connection to the Force.
Nihilus travels across the galaxy in a ship called the Ravager, searching for vast amounts of Force energy for him to drain.ĭarth Nihilus was one of Darth Traya's two apprentices along with Darth Sion in the Sith Triumvirate. Nihilus is known as the Lord of Hunger because of his need to 'feed' on living things by draining their Force energy. However, along with his raw power, the Mass Shadow Generator activated at Malachor may have played a part in Nihilus' status as a wound in the Force, but this is not confirmed. Nihilus' power grew to the extent that he was consumed by it, becoming a wound in the Force. One thing that is known is the fact that he survived the Mandalorian Wars and the battle on Malchor V after the wars, with his hatred, he began his way to the Dark Side of the Force.
On the behalf of this extremely strong and powerful Sith Lord, very little is known of his origin.
