"It doesn't matter. My species has encountered the Yuuzhan Vong before. Even in small numbers they were almost unstoppable. We have to give Artorias a chance—we have to let them know…the Yuuzhan Vong are coming."
―Panha[3]

A battle occurred at Vun'Hanna and the Twilight Void within the Unknown Regions of the galaxy between the Chiss Ascendancy and Praetorite Vong which took place by 27 BBY. The battle ultimately ended in the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong forces.

Background

The extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong had begun scouting and settling the edge of the galaxy in preparation for their planned invasion at least as early as 32 BBY when they began their attack upon Zonama Sekot. By 27 BBY,[2] a small reconnaissance force encountered a Chiss force under the command of Admiral Ar'alani, and attacked with immediate ferocity. The Yuuzhan Vong fleet force was destroyed after it attacked with significant ferocity.[1]

Aftermath

"There's an invasion coming. A massive assault force of dark ships, shadowy figures, and weapons of great power, based on organic technology of a sort we've never seen before. We believe these Far Outsiders, as we call them, already have a foothold at the far edge of the galaxy, and even now have scouting parties seeking information on worlds and peoples to conquer..."
―Kinman Doriana[4]

Shortly after the attack, Force Commander Thrawn encountered the Bargain Hunter, leading to fears that the Galactic Republic and the Yuuzhan Vong were allies staging a joint invasion against the Chiss Ascendancy. When Special Task Force One arrived in the Unknown Regions and Kinman Doriana used the threat of Jedi falling into the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong as a pretext to destroy the Outbound Flight, Thrawn was convinced to agree to the plan due to the knowledge of the difficulty the Chiss had faced against the limited Yuuzhan Vong scout force.[1]

Years later, at the start of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Panha would mention the skirmish to Sarkkin.[3] In the year 55 ABY, the author Lenang O'Pali mentioned the encounter at Vun'Hanna and the Twilight Void in the publication Mitth'raw'nuruodo Reconsidered: A Patriot's Perspective.[5]
