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

Chandra was, along with Chandrakant, one of the two moons of the Core Worlds planet Chandrila. Along with the rest of the Bormea sector's Chandrila system, it was located on the Perlemian Trade Route, which served as a dividing line between the Northern Dependencies and Arrowhead portions of the Core Worlds.

The lifeless terrestrial moon was the larger of Chandrila's natural satellites and was covered in massive craters caused by asteroid impacts. The moon had a thin atmosphere, which caused its barren surface to reflect a lavender-colored light, and it loomed impossibly large in Chandrila's skies. Chandra's name meant "point" in the Chandrilan language. Chandrila's moons were said to represent the value of debate and peaceful coexistence, as well as the importance of moving on when a debate was finished.
