Redoubt campaign

"Hold the line to the very last."

- Grand Admiral Tarrk'hon'nuruodo

The Redoubt campaign was a protracted military operation in the Unknown Regions which began in 17 ABY. Also called the "Ascendancy's Last Stand," it saw the Chiss carry out a final defense against the Universal Dominion.

Prelude
For over a decade, the Chiss, Killiks, and Ssi-ruuk fought one another in a series of conflicts in Unknown Space, leaving all involved belligerents both economically and militarily drained, making way for a near-uncontested invasion by the Universal Dominion. The Ssi-ruuk were subdued almost instantly while the Killiks simply vanished, but the Chiss resisted.

For weeks they fought, but the Chiss were exhausted and the Dominion's Warrior-Servitors were relentless. In time, the last of the Chiss Defense Fleet was forced back to, the last line of defense for the Chiss Ascendancy.
