Illumine Kilhorde

The Illumine Kilhorde was the battle fleet and military of the Kilji Illumine, the Kilji species' nation. It was commanded by the ruler of the Illumine, Generalirius Nakirre, a number of generals, and several field commanders. The Kilhorde visited worlds in the Unknown Regions and enlightened them to the Kilji religion. In 18 BBY, Nakirre allied himself with the Grysk operative "Jixtus," who promised to guide a series of conquests of enlightenment that the Kilhorde would carry out. In exchange, Nakirre allowed the Grysk to travel aboard the Kilji war cruiser Whetstone, the generalirius's flagship.

While the pair provoked a civil war in the Chiss Ascendancy nation, the Grysks dispatched the Kilhorde to the small nations to the south and southeast of the Ascendancy to prevent any Chiss refugees from fleeing to those nations as their nation was broken in the civil war. However, the Chiss Senior Captain Thrawn retrieved data on the Kilhorde from the Kilji picket cruiser Hammer and shared it with the Paataatus Hiveborn nation. As the Kilji conquests were taking place to the south and southeast of the Ascendancy, they also took place to the north and northwest of the Hiveborn. The Hiveborn deemed the Kilji force's operations near their borders unacceptable, sending a Paataatus attack fleet to destroy the Kilhorde, obliterating it.
