He career hit a peak during the Yuuzhan Vong War, during which, Onyx Squadron was secretly assigned by Pellaeon to fight for the New Republic against the Yuuzhan Vong. The Moffs did not want to get involved in the war at first, but Pellaeon felt that the alien invaders would soon come for them and did everything possible to sabotage the invaders' progress. He personally decided to assign Đukanović and Onyx Squadron to the New Republic Defense Fleet's disposal.
