In 228 BBY,[2] the Nihil pirates launched a takeover of Naboo in which they conquered[1] the Mid Rim[4] planet Naboo. When the planet fell into the Nihil's Occlusion Zone region of space after Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro expanded the Stormwall barrier, forces led by General[1] Abediah Viess[3] took over Naboo after the regional and planetary governments surrendered. The reigning Naboo queen managed to escape with the help of her guard and went into hiding.[1] Later that year,[2] the Jedi Order and Republic Defense Coalition liberated Naboo from Nihil occupation.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The takeover of Naboo was mentioned in the 2024 novel The High Republic: Temptation of the Force, written by Tessa Gratton and published as part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project's[1] Phase III.[5]

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 The High Republic: Temptation of the Force establishes that Naboo became part of the Occlusion Zone following the Stormwall's first expansion but before the events of the novel. The High Republic Adventures (2023) 4 and Temptation of the Force commence one year and two weeks and one year and six weeks after the Starlight Beacon's destruction, respectively, dating both to 228 BBY per the reasoning here. As The High Republic Adventures (2023) 6—which depicts the Stormwall's first expansion—takes place immediately following The High Republic Adventures (2023) 4, Naboo must have been brought into the Occlusion Zone in 228 BBY. As Temptation of the Force establishes that Naboo was conquered after it was brought into the Occlusion Zone, it must have occurred that year.
