## War Against the Chiss Ascendancy

### Location

Unknown Regions "Chaos"

The **War Against the Chiss Ascendancy** was an ancient war waged on the Chiss Ascendancy by an unknown enemy race. The enemy race were greatly successful in their attacks, pushing the Chiss out of their worlds and retreating back to Csilla, where the war culminated into a large scale Final Assault on Csilla, in which the Chiss were able to win a pyrrhic victory against their enemy, using the alien weapon known as the Starflash to drive the ancient enemy away.

## Prelude

#### Previous:...

In the Unknown Regions, millennia before the birth of Thrawn, an unidentified race came into conflict with the Chiss Ascendancy, deciding to push the Chiss species out of their colony worlds and to near extinction.

## Recount

#### Early War

The attack on the Chiss Ascendancy began with harsh attacks across the Ascendancy colony planets, claiming the worlds and pushing the Chiss into a retreat further and further back. Those that survived the attacks would find themselves prisoners of the unidentified enemy. Eventually, the Chiss were threatened with extinction as their retreat pushed them all the way back to Csilla.

##### Final Assault on Csilla

When at Csilla, the unidentified enemy amassed it's entire army to face off against remaining Chiss forces on their homeworld. Patriarch Thomoro volunteered her family to man the alien weapon known as the Starflash. knowing that it would destroy those who piloted the craft. The Starflash was used and the entire enemy fleet was destroyed, leaving the Chiss Ascendancy victorious, but at a large cost.

## Aftermath

#### Next: ...

With their enemy defeated the Chiss Ascendancy was able to return to the worlds that had previously been conquered by their enemy and return to their old power, despite dwindled numbers. The truth about the Ascendancy victory was kept a secret from most of the Ascendancy, known only by the Patriarch and their Senior Aide. Patriarch Thomoro was honored greatly for her part in the victory, and given the name "The Tragic" as a result of her losing her sons and making the ultimate sacrifice to protect the Ascendancy. The Mitth family was raised into the position of the Ruling Family of the Ascendancy, replacing the Stybla family.

##### Csilla

As an unanticipated result of the Starflash, the sun of Csilla had been irreversibly damaged and had affected the innermost core of the sun, which caused the heat and energy from the star to be dwindled. The effects of this could be felt over the next several decades on Csilla as the surface froze over and became uninhabitable. Those who lived on Csilla were either forced to find a new planet to call home or to live under the surface in the caverns.
