The Chadawan government, led by Governor Bordanivaux and based on Chadawa as a holdover from the Galactic Empire, possessed a naval force known as the Chadawan navy. This navy served to protect the Chadawa system, facing attacks from both the Empire itself during Operation: Cinder and the New Republic Defense Fleet in the Battle at Chadawa. Later, Colonel Madrighast, a former Imperial officer from the ISD Unyielding, sought sanctuary with Governor Bordanivaux. Madrighast and his unit subsequently integrated into the Chadawan navy, contributing to the defense of the system.
