A ship was owned by "Jixtus,"[1] an agent of the Grysk warlike species during his campaign against the Chiss Ascendancy.[2] Two months after the Battle over Primea, Jixtus hired the Pathfinder navigator Qilori to navigate the ship, where he coerced Qilori into the service of the Grysks.[1]
Jixtus used the ship to meet with his Agbui agent Haplif on several occasions to discuss the progress of Haplif's attempts to spy and eventually goad the Chiss into a civil war. At times he also brought Qilori along.[2]
History
During General Yiv's Nikardun campaigns, "Jixtus" met his Agbui agent Haplif on board the ship on the orbit of a planet that had been devastated by the civil war incited by Haplif and his Agbui companions. He tasked the Agbui to target the Chiss Ascendancy for inner destruction next, while their attention was directed outward due the threat posed by Yiv and his Nikardun Destiny.[2]
However, the Chiss defeated Yiv's forces during the Battle over Primea and captured Yiv himself. About two months after Yiv's defeat Jixtus hired a Pathfinder named Qilori to navigate his ship. During the trip Jixtus interrogated Qilori about Yiv's defeat and coerced the navigator to become his agent[1] in his plot to destroy the Chiss Ascendancy.[2]
Jixtus later met with Haplif on Shihon aboard his ship during the Grand Migration to see how far the Agbui had gotten with their part in the plan to destroy the Chiss.[2]
