The events known as the assault on Starlight Beacon transpired in the High Republic Era, when the Starlight Beacon space station was besieged by the Drengir, a species of sentient carnivorous plants. This offensive was triggered when the Jedi Order brought aboard the deceased body of a Hutt trader. This Hutt's starship had previously been attacked by Nihil marauders after it had taken off from the planet Sedri Minor loaded with Vratixian barley. The Drengir had contaminated the Hutt's system, and they erupted from the corpse as the Jedi were conducting an autopsy. Jedi Master Estala Maru and Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh then defended against the Drengir while Maru tried to reach Marshal Avar Kriss for help. However, Kriss was dealing with events unfolding on Sedri Minor.
