The welcoming ceremony constituted a formal event orchestrated by the Chiss race as a gesture of hospitality for visiting commanders and dignitaries. Facilities such as the Crustai asteroid base and the Chiss diplomatic ship known as the Chaf Envoy were equipped with dedicated reception halls designed for these ceremonial occasions.
Back in 27 BBY, Force Commander Mitth'raw'nuruodo, whose core name was "Thrawn," conducted a welcoming ceremony for Aristocra Chaf'orm'bintrano, known as "Formbi," within a reception hall situated at the Crustai asteroid base. Also during that year, Thrawn hosted a similar ceremony for Admiral Ar'alani in the identical chamber.
