==History==
At some point, Copero became a location of significance for the Erighal family, one of the forty Great Families of the Chiss Ascendancy.
In 18 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines places the main events of Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good in 18 BBY. Copero became the rallying point for Erighal officers and warriors from the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet that received a family emergency summons. At Copero, the Erighal family activated Expeditionary Force Alpha, a fleet assembled with the purpose to claim the nyix mine on the world of Hoxim, that the Agbui claimed was there. Unknown to the Erighal family, the mine was a ruse by a group of Agbui who also contacted the Xodlak and Pommrio families with the intention of making the three families fight for the non-existent nyix mine and cause a civil war in the Chiss Ascendacy.
Once Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo learned from Mid Captain Csap'ro'strob that three of the Great Families were assembling in locations near the Ascendancy's east and southeast sectors, he discovered that the nyix mine was a ruse and that the Agbui were trying to cause a civil war within the Chiss Ascendacy.
