«The Vagaari were severely beaten down the last time we met. Whatever's going on out there, I don't anticipate any major surprises.»
―Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo[2]

Around 27 BBY,[3] the Chiss Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo, core name "Thrawn," severely beat the Vagaari pirates during his last confrontation with the Vagaari, ending his[2] Vagaari pirate operations.[1] In 18 BBY,[4] the Chiss Mid Captain Ufsa'mak'ro "Samakro" read the records of the confrontation and noticed that they were incomplete, speculating that the documents had been deliberately edited.[2]
