Unidentified Paccian gunboat


A Paccian gunboat was under the command of Chiss Mid Captain Csap'ro'strob, known as "Apros," who served within the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet during the battle of the Sunrise system. This engagement is famously remembered as Senior Captain Thrawn's last stand. During this conflict, Apros skillfully piloted the Paccian gunboat, initially making it appear inoperable by spinning and emitting thick, dark metallic smoke. This smoke, an ingenious creation of the Paccosh species who also supplied the gunboat, was designed to protect the vessel by scattering and weakening incoming laser blasts. In addition to piloting the Paccian gunboat, Apros was responsible for operating a gravity well projector. This device had been obtained by Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo, also known as "Thrawn," during operations against the Vagaari pirate operations. It was subsequently stored in Vault Four within the Universal Analysis Group installation located on the Chiss Ascendancy planet of Sposia. Following the tactical plan devised by Senior Captain Thrawn for what became known as Thrawn's last stand, Apros utilized both the gravity well projector and the gunboat to provide crucial tactical advantages to the Chiss and their allies. This allowed for unprecedented precision in in-system hyperspace jumps and effectively prevented the Grysk Hegemony naval forces from retreating.
