Skirmish at Jamiron

In 18 BBY, a skirmish took place over the Chiss Ascendancy planet Jamiron between the Ascendancy's Tahmie and Droc families during a crisis in the Ascendancy, where the Grysk coordinator "Jixtus" manipulated a number of Chiss families into fighting each other. The skirmish occurred soon after the two families' previous engagement over the astronomical object Csaus. The Chiss ruling body of the Syndicure dispatched the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet Nightdragon man-of-war Vigilant, under the command of Admiral Ar'alani, to resolve the situation. When the warship reached Jamiron, eighteen starships belonging to both families were engaged in battle.

After the families ignored the admiral's orders to cease hostilities, Ar'alani's vessel fired plasma spheres, weapons that disabled vessels, at all the combatants. After all eighteen Tahmie and Droc ships had been neutralized, the Vigilant used its tractor beams to haul the disabled ships away from each other. After the skirmish, Ar'alani met with Supreme Admiral Ja'fosk of the Ascendancy's Defense Hierarchy Council, who informed her the Syndicure was infuriated by her intervention as it had humiliated both families. He urged her to return to the planet Sposia, where the Vigilant had been stationed before being called to Jamiron.
