- "I think that's the pirate's kid. Looks a lot like Tanana Keem. But small."
- ―The Nihil, about Zyle Keem
A Nihil marauder was part of the Nihil captain I'nah's crew on a vessel commandeered from the Galactic Republic during the High Republic Era. For some time, the crew patrolled the Stormwall—a hyperspace barrier separating the Occlusion Zone claimed by the Nihil from the rest of Republic space—from the rest of the galaxy. The Nihil became familiar with the pirate Tanana Keem, whose crew worked with I'nah's crew and other Nihil to operate within the Occlusion Zone.[1] In 229 BBY,[2] they attended a meeting hosted by I'nah in the ship's briefing room, staying behind several of their colleagues. When Keem's child—the aspiring pirate Zyle Keem—was escorted away from the area, the Nihil commented that they looked a lot like their parent, only smaller.[1]
