Kilji

The Kiljis were a sentient species that hailed from the Unknown Regions' Kilji homeland. The species' wrinkly, rubbery-looking, dark orange skin stretched and formed patterns that reflected the Kiljis' emotions. Deeply religious, the Kiljis sought to enlighten the universe to the Kilji religion and were hostile to those that did not follow the Kilji philosophy. The species' nation was the Kilji Illumine, which the Generalirius Nakirre ruled. The Illumine's battle fleet, the Illumine Kilhorde, engaged in conquests of enlightenment of several Unknown Regions worlds.

In 18 BBY, Nakirre allied himself with the Grysk operative known as "Jixtus," who promised to guide the Kilhorde's conquests while Nakirre allowed Jixtus to travel aboard his Kilji war cruiser, the Whetstone, while helping the operative destroy the Chiss Ascendancy nation. When the pair attempted to instigate a civil war in the Ascendancy by manipulating the Chiss families into fighting each other, Illumine General Crofyp's task force—consisting of the Kilji war cruiser Anvil and Colonel Tildnis's Kilji picket cruiser Hammer—and the Kilhorde attacked several worlds in the Unknown Regions. The Chiss Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo destroyed the Anvil and retrieved data on the Kilhorde from the Hammer. The Chiss shared the data with the Paataatus Hiveborn nation, which obliterated the Kilji battle fleet, prompting Jixtus to murder Nakirre as he considered him useless without the Kilhorde.
