Description:
With the successful acquisition of the 'navigators' from the Navigators’ Guild, the Emperor’s Hammer First Recon Division fleet made contact with several member states in the neighboring regions of the Chaos. We learned the Kilji Illumine had been launching raids on the various states over the last several months. The Kilji Illumine were determined to be a large theocratic government that believed that all sentient beings of the galaxy should submit to enlightenment via their belief system, regardless of their opponent’s feelings on the matter.
Having made swift contact with the Chiss Ascendancy we did our best to reestablish Imperial relations with the secretive people. The fact that we were a unit formed by Grand Admiral Ronin (a Chiss himself) aided in this. We learned from the leader of the Chiss expansionary fleet that a large fleet of Kilji seemed to be planning a mass attack on the Cluster via an undefended gap - the Tkon Rift.
The Tkon Rift, a dense nebula, stood between the Kilji Illumine and many of the other species of the cluster. If the Kilji chose to send a large fleet through it, they could easily strike at the weakly defended rear and sides of six of the cluster’s inhabitants, including the Chiss. No single group had enough forces to fill this gap, and none of them trust each other enough to work together. It was into this breach the Emperor’s Hammer strode and, though incurring a heavy toll, was able to stem the flood of the Kilji, preventing them from penetrating through the Tkon Rift.

General Campaign Medal - Tkon Rift
Medal Description:
In 33 ABY, Emperor's Hammer forces arrived at the Tkon Rift, an expanse of space that the Kilji Illumine sought to pass through enroute to dominating this region of space and then the galaxy. Over the course of a month forces of the TIE Corps and Secret Order put up a mighty fight, contesting every star system in the Rift and destroying well over half of the Kilji starfleet before the enemy forces fell back.
Participants in the campaign were recognized with award of the General Campaign Medal – Tkon Rift, with the blue and white ribbon alluding to the insignia of the Chiss Ascendancy in recognition of the newly established relationship between the groups.
