Paataatus Hiveborn

The Paataatus Hiveborn was the nation of the Paataatus species. The nation's holy Paataatus space and its worlds, including the Paataatus homeworld and the Hiveborn's hive-home, Nettehi, were located in the Unknown Regions. Around 46 BBY, a pair of Paataatus warships attacked a Boadil survey ship of the Chiss Ascendancy nation in the Unknown Regions' Pleknok system; however, the Chiss Defense Force severely beat the Paataatus in retaliation. By 27 BBY, the Paataatus returned to Pleknok, where a Paataatus light frigate and six gunboats were forced to retreat by the Chiss Mid Commander Mitth'raw'nuru, core name "Thrawn."

Years later, in 19 BBY, the Nikardun General Yiv's Nikardun Destiny hegemony subjugated the Hiveborn, sending three Paataatus warships to attack the Ascendancy's capital planet of Csilla, whose defenses destroyed the attackers. In retaliation, the Ascendancy sent Picket Force Six to Nettehi to strike the Paataatus, who fought back with several Paataatus fighters, most of which were destroyed by the Chiss.

In 18 BBY, after the Chiss had reduced the Destiny to remnants, a remnant controlled the Paataatus and their capital, threatening the Paataatus Prince Militaire's life in return for the Hiveborn's cooperation. However, Thrawn assisted the Prince Militaire in destroying the Nikardun remnant. In the same year, the Kilji Illumine nation's Illumine Kilhorde battle fleet conquered several nations to the north and northwest of the Hiveborn, which the Paataatus deemed unacceptable. Thrawn retrieved data on the Kilji fleet from the Kilji picket cruiser Hammer and shared it with the Hiveborn, who sent a Paataatus attack fleet to obliterate the Kiljis in gratitude for Thrawn's assistance in destroying the Nikardun remnant.
