Conquests of enlightenment

In 18 BBY, the Illumine Kilhorde, the battle fleet of the Kilji Illumine nation, carried out conquests of enlightenment near the territory of the Unknown Regions Chiss Ascendancy nation to spread the Illumine's religion. The Kilhorde conquered several nations, planets, and peoples under the directive of the Grysk operative "Jixtus," who had allied himself with the Illumine's ruler, Generalirius Nakirre.

However, the Chiss Senior Captain Thrawn had retrieved data on the Kilhorde's weaknesses from the Kilji picket cruiser Hammer and shared it with the Paataatus Hiveborn nation. The Kilji conquests were taking place to the south and southeast of the Ascendancy, which positioned them north and northwest of the Hiveborn, which the nation deemed unacceptable. As a result, a Paataatus attack fleet destroyed the Kilji fleet.
