An assault was perpetrated by the Nihil marauders on non-combatants located within the Echerta system during the year 230 BBY. Due to its function as a central point for hyperspace lanes, the Echerta system saw the arrival of numerous ships, which subsequently became targets of the Nihil's aggression. One of the ships caught in the attack was the Vessel, which had intended to alter its course within the system. Jedi Wayseeker Orla Jareni, a passenger aboard the Vessel, proposed that they overwhelm the Nihil ships' frequencies; the Vessel's small dimensions meant it wouldn't have been identified as a high priority. The captain of the Vessel, Leox Gyasi, heeded Jareni's advice, and with the assistance of his co-pilot Affie Hollow, he broadcasted the widely-known tune, the 'margengai glide', across the Nihil's communications. This tactic proved effective in disrupting the Nihil's coordination, enabling both the civilians and the Vessel crew to make their escape.
