The Mothma estate served as the family home for the Mothma family, situated on the plains of the planet Chandrila. During the year 0 ABY, Darth Vader of the Galactic Empire dispatched Ensign Nanda to this location. Her mission was to examine the place where Colonel Kell Bircher, an Imperial defector, spent his early years. Nanda's finding of Mothma family gravestones led Vader to understand Bircher's connection to Mon Mothma, who spearheaded the Rebellion opposing the Empire. Consequently, Vader commanded the Mothma estate's annihilation as a retaliatory measure.
