The Nihil base, situated on the planet Angoth, served as a stronghold for the Nihil marauders in the High Republic Era. Initially, it functioned as a detention facility operated by civilians for processing smugglers, but the Nihil seized control, resulting in the death of the staff. In an effort to seize a Nameless creature held by the Nihil at this location, the Jedi Order and the Republic Defense Coalition launched a mission.
