Oyokal

Oyokal was a terrestrial agricultural astronomical object located in the territory of the Unknown Regions' Chiss Ascendancy nation. It was the homeworld of Chiss Senior Captain Xodlak'in'daro "Lakinda," who came from a poor family that was a part of a farming community there. On Oyokal, an old Chiss told her: "When you see the saddlebull is about to throw you, jump off."
She later joined the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet and the Ascendancy's Xodlak family. In 18 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines places the main events of Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good in 18 BBY. Lakinda feared that she would be returned to her old family after having failed to claim a fake nyix metal mine owned by the Agbui species for the Xodlak, and she instead joined the Irizi ruling family.
