Crofyp

Crofyp was a Kilji general who served the Kilji Illumine, the Kilji species' nation, as the commander of a task force consisting of his flagship, the Kilji war cruiser Anvil, and Colonel Tildnis's Kilji picket cruiser Hammer. In 18 BBY, the Grysk operative known as "Jixtus" dispatched Crofyp's task force to the Unknown Regions' Rapacc system, tasking the Kiljis with capturing a group of refugees hiding on the planet Rapacc. After the Illumine task force arrived at Rapacc, it was confronted by the Paccosh-commandeered Nikardun blockade frigate Aelos. Crofyp threatened Commander Uingali foar Marocsaa, the blockade frigate's captain, to allow his forces to retrieve the refugees they sought. Marocsaa refused, however, prompting the general to prepare a cross fire attack on the Aelos.

After the Anvil moved past the Aelos along its starboard and the Hammer did likewise along the frigate's portside, the Chiss heavy cruiser Springhawk arrived in the system, firing two starship-disabling plasma sphere weapons at Crofyp's flagship before joining the confrontation in the inner system. The Chiss commander, Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo, core name "Thrawn," commanded Crofyp to move clear of the Aelos, angering the general, who had his vessels fire spectrum laser salvos at the Springhawk; however, the plasma spheres disabled the Anvil and several Chiss breacher missiles destroyed the war cruiser, killing Crofyp while the Hammer fled.
