The Battle Paths were a variant of the Path hyperspace routes used by the Nihil pirates. Operated through Nihil Path engines, the Battle Paths caused Nihil starships to make multiple extremely short jumps through hyperspace. Eye of the Nihil Marchion Ro employed the Battle Paths during the Battle of Kur to destroy Kassav Milliko's Tempest, both to inflict severe damage on the Galactic Republic force the Tempest was fighting and to be able to frame their deaths as a heroic sacrifice to the rest of the Nihil.
