Drake, most famously known by the moniker Grandma Drake, worked as a chef and was celebrated for her culinary creations during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Following the Battle of Yavin, Alliance Intelligence Agent Garek at one point saved Drake's soup recipes on a number of datadisks and instructed newly enlisted members to recover them as a way to prove their allegiance.
The character of Grandma Drake was referenced in Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game released in 2003 and created by Sony Online Entertainment before being published by LucasArts; the video game was shut down on December 15, 2011. The reference to Grandma Drake appeared in the "New Player Tutorial," which was implemented with the launch of "Publish 25," also known as the "New Game Enhancements," on November 15, 2005.
