The Duinuogwuin Contention took place in 15,500 BBY and was a major conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Duinuogwuin people. Exploration scouts from the Republic made first contact with the Duinuogwuin, or "Star Dragons" as they were known. Having been frightened by their appearance, the scouts beat a hasty retreat to the Republic capital, Coruscant. Hundreds of Duinuogwuin followed through space and attacked the capital, until peace was brokered by Supreme Chancellor Fillorean.
