Confrontation at Zyzek

In 18 BBY, Generalirius Nakirre, the ruler of the Kilji Illumine nation, and the Chiss Ascendancy Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo, core name "Thrawn," engaged in a confrontation over the Unknown Regions planet Zyzek. After Thrawn's Chiss heavy cruiser Springhawk arrived at the Zyzek system and the senior captain broadcast a message, claiming that he possessed Watith prisoners, Nakirre moved his Kilji war cruiser Springhawk to speak with the Chiss.

He offered to take the Watith to their home, as his religion required he helped others; however, Thrawn offended the generalirius, refusing his offer, prompting Nakirre to prepare his war cruiser for combat. However, Zyzek System Defense, which defended the Zyzek system, intervened, sending two pairs of patrol ships to engage the two cruisers while requesting for them to stand down. Nakirre complied, and the two starships left Zyzek.
