Attack on the Illumine Kilhorde

In 18 BBY, the Unknown Regions Paataatus Hiveborn nation carried out an attack on the Illumine Kilhorde, the battle fleet of the Kilji Illumine nation, after the fleet conquered several small nations to the north and northwest of the Hiveborn's territory as part of the Illumine's conquests of enlightenment. The Hiveborn deemed the Kilhorde's operations near their borders unacceptable, tasking a multipronged Paataatus attack fleet with destroying the Kilhorde after the Chiss Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo shared data on the Kilhorde's design and battle doctrine with the Paataatus species.

The Hiveborn obliterated the Kilji battle fleet and freed the nations the Illumine's forces had conquered. The destruction of the Illumine's battle fleet prompted the Grysk "Jixtus," who had allied himself with the Illumine's ruler, Generalirius Nakirre, to murder the generalirius, as the Kilhorde's destruction rendered Nakirre useless to his ally.
