Whether it's orbital bombardment or not, Nihilus needs a way of engendering mass death before he feeds from a planet. Katarr had the buildings crumbling from some sort of attack and the various other worlds had Nihilus "blasting them into ruin" before he fed on them.
In-game, Kavar muses that something was trying to feed on the planet of Onderon as well, which was presumably Nihilus, yet he failed, which indicates that there are more pre-requisites to planetary feeding than just Nihilus' invocation of Drain. Likewise, when the Battle of Telos IV comes, Nihilus fails to Drain the planet or even Citadel Station, when it's clearly in his best interest and intention to do so. Again, it's suggested that he needs to do something before successfully feeding on the planet.

In the meantime, Darth Nihilus led his Sith forces from his flagship, the Ravager, drawing more and more power from worlds that he blasted into ruin.

The quote does not imply his ships blasted anything - only that he led his fleet from his Flagship, while cleansing worlds of life.

The suggestion of orbital bombardment is an absolute crock of shit and suggests not only dangerous ignorance on the part of the believer but also blindness because anyone can watch Unseen, Unheard and plainly see what happened.All in all, a complete failure of an argument not worth the time to even consider.
He blasted the worlds into ruin with his force attack you morons.
This guy knows what he's talking about. 👆
I concur with him.

Good observations. 🙂
No. They're not good observations.
The idiot SunRazer overlooked the fact the Nihilus "failed" to drain Telos because it was largely devoid of life, and it was a trap to draw him to where another Force Wound could confront him.
Target Range (within thousands of kilometers) would be the only factor Nihilus would need - which is irrelevant in duels anyway.
The Retard also ignores that the quote didn't imply that anyone other than Nihilus blasted them into ruin.
Nephthys made an astute observation when he noticed it was Nihilus's power that caused all this - and nothing else.
Traya also uses a weaker-version of this power and she does not need to engender any mass death at all.
The Hunger Drain is speak=kill and nothing more.
"When my lord spoke, every living thing on Katarr died." - Visas
Retards seem to have trouble grasping the simplicity of Nihilus's power.
lmao @ it being harder for Nihilus to Drain life if there's less life on the planet. Like, seriously, you know your brain belongs in your head and not up somebody's ass, right?
As for it being a trap, do you realize how long it took for the Exile to board the Ravager and fight her way to the bridge? Or is Nihilus not capable of speaking before that happens?

Hahahahaha, I never said that, you Retard.
And I'm fine with my head between your mommy's legs - when she's not on her knees, like you are, giving me head.
Since I know you have Down Syndrome, I know you had no clue that I was being sarcastic at your retarded comment of him "failing" to drain Telos - when in fact there was barely anything to drain.
His being brought there was merely a ruse.
Of course, since you're a 'Tard, you wouldn't know that. 😆

Do you realize that Nihilus wanted to interrogate them, Dumbass?
He also didn't consider them a threat:
As Tobin and Visas said, the Exile and her companions are but dust motes in a storm to him.
The extent of his power cannot be put into words… and his perceptions have grown as well. To him…" "You are dust motes in a storm… a grain upon the beach… and as insignificant as a body that orbits the graveyard of Malachor. - Tobin and Visas Marr, regarding Nihilus.
If you pulled your head out of your vagina long enough to play the game, you'd know this. 😆

Clearly he can do it on a whim, even though it takes longer for him to speak than for the Exile to fight the Sith army on Citadel Station, fly to the Ravager, and then fight her way to the bridge.
That's because he didn't want to drain her, Dumbass.
He waited until he could interrogate her, first.

Remember to bring that up in battle threads with Nihilus, then.

Bring up what?
I love how you're throwing all these insults about how dumb other people are and you completely miss the point. Like, seriously, you've reached the point where you need a medical certificate for your level of stupidity.
I'm talking about why it takes so long for Nihilus to drain TELOS, not the Exile. We're discussing his ability to drain planets.
