The Elphrona raid transpired in the period soon after the Great Hyperspace Disaster, amidst the Jedi Order's conflict against the Nihil. The purpose of this mission was the abduction of the Blythe family, settlers with affluent kin in the Core Worlds, for ransom purposes.
Lourna Dee's Tempest dispatched a team, commanded by Cloud Ultident Margrona, to execute the operation. Unbeknownst to Dee and her crew, Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro sanctioned the raid with a hidden agenda: to seize a Jedi, given the Jedi Order's presence at an outpost on Elphrona.
Consequently, Ro covertly alerted the Jedi outpost after the raid commenced, prompting the four resident Jedi to intervene and save the Blythes. Before the Nihil could escape the system, three of the four hostages were freed, and every member of Margrona's initial team was killed. However, in his attempt to rescue Ottoh Blythe from Margrona's Cloudship, Jedi Master Loden Greatstorm suffered a broken leg and was taken prisoner.
