Captain Mantrony, a Bakuran woman, held the rank of naval officer and served in Admiral Hortel Ossilege's command. Her vessel was the Watchkeeper, a Namana-class light cruiser. In the time of the First Corellian Insurrection, the Watchkeeper was among a quartet of ships that breached the interdiction field surrounding the Corellian system. They accomplished this feat by employing a novel piece of technology known as the hyperwave inertial momentum sustainer. Regrettably, Captain Mantrony's ship sustained damage during this operation, resulting in the failure of its propulsion.
Despite the protests of Captain Mantony, Admiral Ossilege suggested employing the drifting Watchkeeper as bait. The intent was to lure out the hidden weapon possessed by the Sacorrian Triad on Selonia.
