A conflict occurred in 231 BBY on the Outer Rim world of Golrath, an astronomical body, as part of Operation Counterstrike conducted by the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order against the Nihil pirates. This operation was a response to the attack perpetrated by the Nihil on the Republic Fair located on the Outer Rim planet Valo. The Jedi and the Republic's Unified Republic Task Force achieved a significant triumph in this engagement. In that year, Stellan Gios, a member of the Jedi High Council, reported the task force's victory at Golrath, along with victories on Aris and Port Haven, to the Jedi stationed at the space station Starlight Beacon.
The battle that took place on Golrath was initially shown, via flashbacks, in the ninth issue of the Star Wars: The High Republic comic series from 2021. This issue was released as part of Phase I, which is part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project. Cavan Scott wrote the issue, and Marvel Comics released it on September 1, 2021.
