Who are the Nihil? Star Wars' early villains from the High Republic era were quite a dangerous force to be reckoned with (even for the Jedi).
The Nihil are some of the newest villains in the Star Wars continuity, existing during The High Republic Era hundreds of years before the events of The Skywalker saga. A group of vicious marauders with unique resources and power, the Nihil established themselves as a major force to be reckoned with, even against the Jedi Order at the height of their own power. As such, the Nihil are a sinister Star Wars group certainly worth knowing about.

Subsequently, each Tempest had Storms, Clouds, and finally Strikes as the grunts. However, the Great Hyperspace Disaster was used as a lightning rod by the ultimate leader of the Nihil who unified the Tempests into one force seeking to engage the Republic all over the Outer Rim Frontier.
How The Nihil Use Hyperspace One of the Nihil's greatest advantages was their unique ability to traverse hyperspace like no one else. Using rare devices known as Path Engines, the Nihil could jump in and out of hyperspace incredibly fast, appearing out of nowhere to raid passing ships before disappearing just as quickly. Provided by the original Eye Asgar Ro and his son Marchion who took his place, the Path Engines were attached to normal hyperdrives.
