Jixtus's plan

Jixtus's plan was a plot, created by the Grysk "Jixtus," to destroy the Chiss Ascendancy by drawing the Ascendancy into civil war that would weaken the Ascendancy to a state where the Grysk Hegemony could easily conquer it. Jixtus dispatched Haplif and other agents to learn about the culture of the Chiss and how they could manipulate ambitious officials into igniting and escalating armed conflicts. Jixtus' key to destroying the Chiss Ascendancy would turn out to revolve around the Chiss family, and how family politics dominated many aspects of Chiss society.

Haplif and other agents of Jixtus were dispatched to pose as "cultural nomads" within Chiss space, where they would learn the weaknesses of Chiss society and attempt to exploit them. The agents successfully convinced officials of three Great Families to declare family emergencies, marshaling their personnel from the military to staff their family fleets to seize control of a world supposedly rich in the valuable metal nyix. Unbeknownst to the Chiss involved, the fabled "Agbui mining world" was in fact "a worthless rock."

The three Great Families manipulated into almost attacking one-another were the Xodlak, the Erighal, and the Pommrio families. Each of those Great Families was allied with a different Ruling Family, and conflict between the Great Families would spread to the Ruling Families and eventually the entire Ascendancy. Jixtus hoped that the Ascendancy would sufficiently weaken itself for it to be easy for the Grysk Hegemony to conquer. However, Jixtus and Haplif's plot was foiled by the actions of a rancher named Lakphro and Senior Captains Thrawn and Lakinda.
