- ―The Urchiv-ki traffic controller
An Urchiv-ki male served as a traffic controller of Urch Planetary and Space Control, which controlled space traffic around the Unknown Regions planet Urch, the capital of the Tower Dimension nation.[1] Around 19 BBY,[2] the Chiss Ascendancy sent Ambassador Boadil'par'gasoi, core name "Ilparg," on a diplomatic mission to Urch aboard the Nightdragon man-of-war Vigilant.[1]
The Vigilant asked the traffic controller to give them permission to launch Ilparg's shuttle; however, the Urchiv-ki refused their request, telling the man-of-war that the Chiss were not welcome to Urch. Shortly after, a group of warships affiliated with the Nikardun Destiny hegemony attempted to capture the Vigilant, but the Chiss vessel escaped. The Urchiv-ki traffic controller spoke the Taarja trade language while speaking with the Vigilant.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Urchiv-ki appeared in the 2020 novel Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, written by Timothy Zahn as part of his Star Wars: The Ascendancy Trilogy.[1]
