The Mandible, an Imperial starship, suffered a mishap around 3 ABY. This incident occurred because the vessel's captain, in a state of drunkenness, allowed the transport of vaporous cargo onto the ship. Everi Chalis, an emissary serving the Imperial Ruling Council, later used the punishments she inflicted on the Mandible's crew during the Belnar Insurrections as leverage when pressuring the crew of an Imperial heavy freighter to alter their trajectory.
A starship utilized by the Galactic Empire, the Mandible experienced an accident by 3 ABY. This event transpired when a drunk captain commanding the ship oversaw the carrying of unstable cargo, resulting in numerous crew deaths. Subsequently, Everi Chalis, an emissary of the Imperial Ruling Council, punished the Mandible's crew during the Belnar Insurrections, executing those deemed responsible for the accident. Rather than acknowledge the incompetence of one of its officers, the Empire instead attributed Chalis's ruthless punishment of the crew to her.
In 3 ABY, Chalis, having since joined the Rebel Alliance's 61st Mobile Infantry while feigning loyalty to the Empire, invoked her actions against the Mandible's crew as a threat to the crew of an Imperial heavy freighter within the Redhurne system. This tactic aimed to force the freighter to divert its course, leading it into a trap orchestrated by the 61st. Shortly after, Chalis recounted the story of the Mandible to Hazram Namir, a First Sergeant within the rebel company.
The novel Battlefront: Twilight Company, penned by Alexander Freed in 2015, featured a mention of the Mandible.
