- "A Boadil group was in the system studying it for possible development when it was attacked by a pair of Paataatus warships. The survey ship was damaged but was able to escape back to the Ascendancy. The Defense Force sent out a response, found the Paataatus doing their own survey, and beat them soundly enough that they never came back."
- ―Senior Aide Lappincyk
In 38 BBY,[1] a battle took place in the Unknown Regions Pleknok system between the Chiss Ascendancy government's Boadil family and the Paataatus Hiveborn government initially, and later the Ascendancy's Chiss Defense Force. A Boadil survey ship was in the system studying it for development when a pair of Paataatus warships attacked it, damaging the vessel. The Ascendancy sent the Chiss Defense Force to strike the Paataatus while they did their own survey for their future conquest of Pleknok. The Defense Force's strike was strong enough that the Paataatus did not come back to Pleknok for nineteen years, when Stybla family Senior Aide Lappincyk's Jandalin patrol ship arrived at Pleknok to retrieve an stolen item and the Paataatus attacked his ship.[2]
Behind the scenes
The battle was mentioned in the 2021 novel Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil, the final volume in Timothy Zahn's Ascendancy Trilogy.[2]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 The flashbacks in Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil occur prior to the main events of Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, which are set around 19 BBY per Star Wars: Timelines. Additionally, Senior Captain Thrawn says that the battle happened nineteen years before a mission to Pleknok, therefore, the battle must have taken place in 38 BBY.
