In the year 228 BBY, General Abediah Viess led Nihil pirates in a conquest that resulted in the occupation of Naboo. This Mid Rim planet, Naboo, saw its planetary and regional governments surrender to Viess's forces. The reigning Naboo queen, with assistance from her guard, successfully escaped and went into hiding. During the occupation, Marlowe and Vellis San Tekka, members of the San Tekka clan residing in their compound on Naboo, provided a large amount of money to Viess as tribute. This was done to maintain a semblance of freedom, but they eventually became refugees fleeing to Republic space. Another San Tekka clan member, Cair San Tekka, observed that others with resources or titles trapped on Naboo also paid tribute to the general in a similar fashion. The Nihil established a military base during their occupation. Later that year, the liberation of Naboo occurred, carried out by the Jedi Order and the Republic Defense Coalition, thus ending the Nihil's control of the world.
The High Republic: Temptation of the Force, a 2024 novel by Tessa Gratton, features the Naboo occupation. It was published as part of Phase III of the Star Wars: The High Republic multi-platform project.
