Assault on Lwhekk

The Battle of Lwhekk was fought in 4 ABY at Lwhekk, capital of the Ssi-Ruuvi Imperium. At the time the Ssi-Ruuvi invasion of the larger Galaxy was taking place, they were also launching prelimnary attacks against their distant neighbor in the Unknown Regions, the Chiss Ascendancy. The Chiss naturally took unknindly to their citizens being enteched, and so (at the same time, or slightly after, the Battle of Bakura) they launched a massive raid against Lwhekk, destroying a good deal of Ssi-ruuvi ships and shipyards.

Just after the Chiss departed from their punitive raid, a New Republic task force arrived fresh from Bakura. They took note of the largescale damage, and attempted to negotiate a truce with the Ssi-ruu. When that proved futile, the New Republic fleet engaged in another punitive battle against the already-weakened Lwhekk, then departed Ssi-ruu space back towards the inner Galaxy.

It would be many years until Lwhekk fully recovered from the attacks.
