Chatta-ragul

Chatta-ragul was a game played with a series of tokens, including Minions, Scouts, Knights, Pontiffs, an Alcazar and an Empress. One gambit in the game was to move out the Empress, the most powerful piece; however, such a gambit was not advisable unless no other option was available. Several months after the Battle of Endor, General Jylia Shale compared moving the Galactic Empire's last Executor-class Star Dreadnought Ravager to the planet Akiva to moving the empress in a chatta-ragul game, claiming it should be held in reserve. She also compared Galactic Emperor Palpatine's use of the Death Star at the Battle of Yavin to an unsuccessful Empress gambit.
