In the year 99 BBY, a theory was put forth by a professor suggesting a trade connection between the Unknown Regions Garwian and Vak species during the Midorian Era. However, in 19 BBY, the Chiss Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo, whose core name was "Thrawn," dismissed the professor as foolish and deemed the theory preposterous while visiting Primea, the homeworld of the Vak.
The novel Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, released in 2020, included a reference to the professor; this novel marked the beginning of Timothy Zahn's Ascendancy Trilogy.
