Kiapene trading post existed on the celestial body known as Mandrine. A failed raid on Kiapene trading post was executed by Sarn Starbreaker, a Nihil Cloud within Pan Eyta's Tempest, between the years of 232 BBY and 231 BBY. Starbreaker, in the course of this raid, lost eight pirates, including several Strikes; furthermore, he received a facial scar from a Jedi and only narrowly escaped aboard his Cloudship. Later, in 231 BBY, while commanding an attack against the Cyclor Shipyards, Starbreaker mentally reflected on his unsuccessful raid of Kiapene trading post and the casualties he sustained.
The 2021 novel The High Republic: The Rising Storm, penned by Cavan Scott, referenced Kiapene trading post. This novel is a component of Phase I of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia initiative.
