Around 18 BBY, Chiss Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo "Thrawn" had been sent to the planet Rapacc, and Admiral Ar'alani dispatched Lakinda to the Rapacc system to deliver a message to Thrawn. Lakinda attempted to bribe the Grayshrikes young sky-walker navigator Bet'nih with a bar of the cheese to induce the girl to navigate faster. Bet'nih enjoyed the cheese, but Lakinda's bribery did not expedite their hyperspace journey.
The dark cheese appeared in the 2021 novel Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good, the second installment of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: The Ascendancy Trilogy.
