Zyzek System Defense

Zyzek System Defense was a defense organization that protected the Unknown Regions' Zyzek system, where the planet Zyzek was located. In 18 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines places the main events of Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil in 18 BBY. Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo, core name "Thrawn," and Generalirius Nakirre, the respective commanders of the Chiss heavy cruiser Springhawk and the Kilji war cruiser Whetstone, engaged in a confrontation over Zyzek.
As Nakirre prepared his warship for combat with Thrawn, Zyzek System Defense sent two pairs of patrol ships smaller than the Springhawk to confront the two warships while requesting for them to stand down. The generalirius considered destroying the newcomers; however, as that would kill their crews, preventing their enlightenment to the Kilji religion, he decided not to destroy the patrol ships. Nakirre complied with Zyzek System Defense's request, resulting in the Springhawk and the Whetstone departure from Zyzek.
