I agree that draining weaker people than you isn't the same as draining someone considerably powerful, but tbh I'm unsure about how Nihilus' drain works [or any other powerful drain, for that matter]. On one hand, Krayt drains Abeloth for a while, who is obviously eons above him. So physically draining a more powerful being than yourself is possible and manageable.
On the other hand, if the drainer is weaker than the one being drained, and the drained actually attempts to put up some type of Force defense, how effective would it be?
Well, yeah you're right, in both regards, but that's the main problem with debating Nihilus as a character; the combat usage of his power is too ambiguous to properly rank, and honestly, his placing in the mythos don't match up with his actual showing if taken at face-value.
As for TK, that largely depends on how you view the fleet lifting feats of Nihilus.
Either way, from what we know of Nihilus, would be completely trashed in CQC with Marek if he closed the distance, and I don't see his TK given him a way so drain is the only thing that can grant him a W.....
If Malachor pre-prime Nihilus < or close to peak unamped Nihilus and he actually lifted that fleet in a reasonable amount of time, then Nihilus wins, and I'm not taking Meetra's Revan > Nihilus quote seriously.
Otherwise, Galen.

Honestly, Nihilus lifting those ships is probably about as legitimate as the Outlander lifting the Gravestone. I mean, unless you actually buy into the idea that Nihilus was telekinetically moving his fleet from solar system to solar system, those ships could fly perfectly well.
No, I'm sure some TK must have been involved. After all, because of Malachor's trippy gravity, his ship probably couldn't have taken off on it's own. Similar to Kyp's Sun Crusher feat, maybe.
Pretty sure when the whole tearing fleet out of Malachor is mentioned, it's capped off with, "THAT is the extent of his power," or something along those lines.

Yeah, it was also stated by an insane, non force sensitive Nihilus-cultist. There's no third party source that even confirms he brought up his entire fleet; only the Ravager.
