The system was located in the northeast-zenith of the Chiss Ascendancy. It contained the Ornfra system and the planet Ornfra. Ornfra was an important economic and political hub of the Chiss Ascendancy's northeast sector, as such, all the Nine Ruling Families, the current ruling Chiss families, and 17 of the Forty Great Families, other powerful families who had aspirations to join the Nine, had strongholds on the planet.
Around 18 BBY, as part of the Chiss Ascendancy crisis, a skirmish occurred in the system. The skirmish was between the Dasklo family, trying to protect the planet Ornfra; the Grysk Hegemony, trying to incite a civil war in the Chiss Ascendancy; the Clarr family warship Orisson seeking to destroy a Asteroid missile platform disguised as a Mitth family spy platform; and the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet warship Grayshrike who was assigned to Ornfra in order to prevent violence between the Clarr and the Dasklo. The skirmish ended with the Defense Fleet being able to convince the Clarr that the asteroid missile platform was actually a missile platform, which was being used by the Grysk Hegemony to try to incite a civil war. They destroyed the Grysk freighter, which set of the missile, but fortunately for the Chiss, none of the Chiss ships where in range.
Soon afterward, Patriarch Clarr'ivl'exow sent Captain Clarr'os'culry and the Orrisson to go back to the Ornfra system in order to prove the the Dasklo where manufacturing fake Starships. As soon as they arrived in the system, they where ambushed by a Grysk warship, who had been informed of their expected arrival by "Jixtus." After a brief battle, the Orrisson escaped into Hyperspace.
The Ornfra first appeared in the 2021 novel Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil, the final installment of the Ascendancy Trilogy written by Timothy Zahn.
