Kilji way of order and enlightenment

The Kilji way of order and enlightenment, commonly known as Kilji enlightenment, was a series of ancient religious beliefs of the Kilji species and their government, the Kilji Illumine. The way's enlightenment, was, according to the Kiljis, wisdom implanted in one's mind that prevented them from thinking or making any move on their own while giving them purpose: to serve their enlightened leaders, which made them their vassals. With the goal of of univeral enlightenment, the Illumine expanded from the Kilji homeland through the conquests undertaken by the government's military, the Illumine Kilhorde. Based on at least three dicta that spoke that the choice to be enlightened was made by an individual, whose choice could be changed by the Kiljis, and that those who stood against the goal of universal enlightenment defiantly faced death.

Around 18 BBY, for the Illumine's future and expansion, the government's leader, Generalirius Nakirre, allied himself with the Grysk operative "Jixtus," who shared the concept of conquest with the Kiljis. While assisting the Grysk species in subjugating the Unknown Regions by provoking a civil war in the Chiss Ascendancy, the Kilhorde attacked. Conquering worlds and forcing the Kilji way upon them, the military force expanded enlightenment to the southeast of the Ascendancy until the Paataatus Hiveborn intervened, sending a Paataatus attack fleet to destroy the Kilhorde, as the Hiveborn considered the Illumine's forces' operation near their borders unacceptable. Once Nakirre and Jixtus learnt of this, the latter killed the former, and Nakirre's vassals aboard the Kilji war cruiser Whetstone rebelled under the command of Pathfinder navigator Qilori, who led them to the death of Jixtus.
