- «Screening the core ships are my eleven Prism-class BattleChiefs. I'd offer their names, but there's no point in overburdening you with details when your time is so short.»
- ―"Jixtus," to the Chiss Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo
A BattleChief was a capital ship classification used by the Grysk warlike species. The Grysk Prism-class BattleChiefs were equipped with engines and a hyperdrive and armed with spectrum lasers and missiles, and they were slightly smaller than a Chiss heavy cruiser and larger than a Chiss light cruiser or patrol cruiser.[1]
In 18 BBY,[2] eleven Prism-class BattleChiefs served as part of the fleet of the Grysk operative known as "Jixtus." They were all destroyed during a battle against a Chiss Ascendancy fleet over the Unknown Regions planet "Sunrise."[1]
