Mission to the Vak Combine

Picket Force Six of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet undertook a mission to the Vak Combine to eliminate any remaining Nikardun military presence several months after the defeat and capture of Yiv the Benevolent. The mission formed part of the Nikardun campaigns, a series of skirmishes to eliminate the remnants of the Nikardun Destiny from parts of the Chaos near Chiss and allied space.

During the mission to the Vak Combine, Admiral Ar'alani and Senior Captains Thrawn and Lakinda believed that the Ascendancy had nearly eliminated the Nikardun from the region, as they had cleared out most of the Nikardun bases listed on General Yiv's questis. After defeating the Nikardun forces in an unidentified system, Ar'alani gave Thrawn and his Springhawk permission to undertake his next mission

While the Springhawk traveled to Rapacc, Ar'alani's Vigilant and Lakinda's Grayshrike investigated listening post KR20 acquired from interrogating Yiv. To their surprise, they found all Nikardun forces already destroyed by weaponized asteroids that doubled as missile launchers. They visited the last Nikardun base, Listening post KR21, and investigated it but found that it as well was destroyed.
