Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Mutiny on the Rand Ecliptic was an insurrection on board the Imperial II-class frigate the Rand Ecliptic in the Bestine system. The mutiny was incited by two cells on board the the ship, both trying to defect to the Rebel Alliance and operating independently of each other. One cell, led by First Mate Biggs Darklighter, sabotaged the frigate's systems before escaping in TIE/LN starfighters. In the resulting chaos, the ship's second mate, Derek Klivian led another cell in taking command of the bridge, discovering two more rebel cells in the process.
