Mission to Bardram Scoft

Years before 19 BBY, the Chiss Ascendancy undertook a diplomatic mission to Bardram Scoft, the homeworld of the Scofti species. Junior Commander Mitth'raw'nuru "Thrawn" served as a pilot for the mission, while Pathfinder navigator Qilori of Uandualon navigated a Chiss diplomatic cruiser through hyperspace.

The Scoftic government changed frequently due to the Scoftic culture of assassinations and coup-d'états, and new Scofti rulers known as Prefects liked to replace their predecessors' rules, customs, artwork, and decorations. As a result, nations with diplomatic relations with the Scofti frequently had to relearn customs when regime change occurred on Bardram Scoft.

During the mission at Bardram Scoft, Junior Commander Thrawn noticed starships bearing a resemblance to the pirates who had recently been raiding Chiss merchants at the Ascendancy's borders. After identifying the ships as being of Lioaoin design, Thrawn concluded that the pirates were being supported by the Lioaoin Regime, the government of the Lioaoi species native to the Unknown Regions.
