A member of the marauders known as the Nihil, a Lepi was part of Zeetar's Tempest during the year 231 BBY. This Lepi was positioned at the Nihil gas foundry located on the planet of Xais and was transporting a canister filled with nagnol gas via the captured Hutt, Myarga Anjiliac Atirue, when Keeve Trennis and Terec, two Jedi Knights working undercover, were escorted to the prisoner. Trennis, trying to evade being compelled to kill Myarga as proof of her Nihil affiliation, noticed the nagnol canister and employed telekinesis to topple it over, resulting in an explosion, causing the Lepi to swear in shock. The resulting fire ignited the Lepi's fur, and they tried to express remorse to their Tempest Runner, Zeetar, however, the Talpini, enraged by the potential destruction of the entire facility, used the blasters built into his powersuit to shoot the Lepi.
