Author Charles Soule says The Drengir are unsettling, amorphous beings, chock full of tentacles and teeth.

“The Drengir are sentient plant-life who are looking to reap a terrible harvest across the galactic frontier,” says Cavan Scott, the writer of Marvel’s upcoming series based in The High Republic. Scott later explains how the seed for this species comes from old concept art drawn by Ian McCaig.

“It’s been great to see the Drengir’s threat grow throughout the initiative,” Charles Soule says. “They are sinister, unstoppable and, as we’ll find out, inescapably linked to the fate of one of our High Republic Jedi…” he continued.

“The Nihil are brutal, savage marauders, based in the Outer Rim,” says Charles Soule, the writer of Light of the Jedi, his upcoming novel. “They’re the stuff of nightmares, able to appear anywhere almost at will. They use bizarre, intimidating tactics — chemical weapons, poison — anything that might kill you, they’ll use.

“The Nihil are organized into three main divisions called Tempests, each with its own captain who wields total control,” Soule continues. “They are frightening in a way that feels great for Star Wars, in part because their ‘code,’ if you can call it that, is so simple: the Nihil take what they want. If you stand in their way, they will kill you and everyone you love. But even chaos agents can have goals…and the Nihil’s plans run directly through both the Republic and the Jedi Order.”

“Marchion Ro holds an important post within the greater Nihil organization — he is the Eye of the Nihil, as was his father before him... The things that make the Nihil more than just a bunch of Outer Rim raiders all come from Marchion,” says Charles Soule on StarWars.com
