Mos Eisley Chronicle #27635 was an issue of the Mos Eisley Chronicle periodical associated with[1] the city of Mos Eisley on the desert planet Tatooine.[2] The issue reproduced an image showing[1] the Grand Inquisitor, the Third Sister, and the Fifth Brother—three members of the Imperial Inquisitorius—arriving in Mos Eisley in the Phi-class shuttle[3] Scythe[4] in 9 BBY.[5] In 35 ABY,[6] the historian Beaumont Kin used the image in[1] his[7] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire and credited Mos Eisley Chronicle #27635.[1]
