A Chiss male named Khresh held the rank of Senior Captain within the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet. He was stationed on the heavy cruiser Steadfast. Functioning as the first officer to Admiral Ar'alani, Khresh was aboard the Steadfast when it acted as her flagship. He participated in the Skirmish with Grysk warships.
The family of Khresh, known as the Plikh, maintained a rivalry with the family of Mid Commander Tanik.
Timothy Zahn's 2019 novel, Thrawn: Treason, featured Khresh as a relatively insignificant character.
