The incident at the Dioya system's edge transpired not long after a pair of Paccosh refugee starships fled their homeworld of Rapacc, which was then being blockade by General Yiv of the Nikardun Destiny. These two ships met within a quadruple star system; however, one of them could not continue the journey. The operational vessel then entered Chiss Ascendancy space, but the Nikardun, guided by its Void Guide navigator, found and obliterated it as it exited into the Dioya system. Although the Chiss observed this, their focus shifted when the Nikardun initiated a Paataatus attack against their home planet, Csilla. Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo, while investigating the assault on Csilla, examined the debris field in the Dioya system, which resulted in him uncovering the Nikardun conquests. This attack also served to mask the Sunrise's civil war planned by Lord "Jixtus" and Haplif, preventing the Chiss from discovering it for a while.
