The Spider Cruiser represented a type of transport vehicle, capable of operating both in the air and on the ground, that was employed by the Nihil marauder organization throughout the High Republic Era. Following the occurrence of the Great Hyperspace Disaster, a particular vessel of this class, known as the Squall Spider, journeyed to Trymant IV. This mission was executed under the direction of Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro, with the objective of rescuing Tromak, who belonged to the Elders of the Path, amidst an Emergence event that endangered the planet.
