Attack on Chandrila

The attack on Chandrila occurred during the festivities of Liberation Day—the day scheduled for peace talks between Mon Mothma of the New Republic and Rae Sloane of the Galactic Empire—on Chandrila, newly-freed prisoners from Ashmead's Lock on Kashyyyk who were under the influence of controller chips, involuntarily attacked Mothma and other New Republic leaders. Mothma and Kyrsta Agate were injured in the attacks, while Hostis Ij, Crix Madine, and others were rumored to be dead. Masterminded by Gallius Rax, the attacks horrified Sloane, who considered the tactic too close to the tactics of the Rebel Alliance and New Republic she despised.
