In 228 BBY,[2] a skirmish occurred between the Nihil marauders and Jedi Masters Avar Kriss and Porter Engle[1] above[3] the planet[4] Seswenna[3] in the section of the Seswenna sector within the Nihil's Occlusion Zone. The Jedi hoped to capture the ship Cacophony to use the ship's Path drive pass through the Stormwall and exit the Zone.[1]
After successfully taking the bridge of the Cacophony and besting its captain, Melis Shryke, forces called in by Shryke and led by Shryke's superior, General Abediah Viess, arrived in the ship Foregone Catastrophe. Viess hoped to capture the Jedi and began to shoot at the Cacophony. Wanting to ensure that Kriss could escape the Zone, Engle left the Cacophony in a drill ship and used it to heavily damage Viess's ship. He then dueled Viess as the ship came apart, until he was left hanging on to piece of metal while hanging over empty space, after which Viess felt she had won and left due to the hopeless nature of the ship.[1]
Meanwhile, Kriss discovered that the Path drive had been destroyed by Shryke and decided to link up an EX droid memory bank that Engle had recovered to the ship's hyperdrive instead. Kriss hoped that the EX droids' unique way of travelling through hyperspace would allow the ship to travel through the Stormwall. She was proven correct, as the ship safely passed through the Stormwall to the other side, though this left Engle lost.[1]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Star Wars: Timelines dates Starlight Beacon's destruction to 230 BBY. The implementation of the Guardian Protocols, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia places in 229 BBY, took place one week after Starlight Beacon's fall according to The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight 1. As The High Republic Adventures (2023) 4 takes place one year and two weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, its events must be set in 228 BBY. Since the events of The High Republic Adventures (2023) 6 are set immediately following the fourth issue and depict the expansion of the Stormwall, the events in The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness following the expansion must take place in the same year.
