A succession crisis on Chandrila erupted[2] sometime between 32 BBY and 19 BBY,[1] rocking[2] the Core Worlds[3] planet Chandrila during the Republic Era. The event occurred during the early career of Chandrilan Galactic Republic Senator Mon Mothma, who had been on a visit to the planet Eyo-Dajuritz—by then a fossilized ecumenopolis—as part of a goodwill tour promoting Republic historical sites. Mothma was forced to cut short her visit to see to the crisis, and regretted having to leave to deal with the crisis on her homeworld.[2] Around 19 BBY,[1] she recalled the crisis upon learning of a large-scale attack on Eyo-Dajuritz.[2]
Behind the scenes
The succession crisis on Chandrila was mentioned in the 2025 novel Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear, written by Alexander Freed as the first installment of the Star Wars: Reign of the Empire trilogy.[2]

Star Wars: Edge of the Abyss on Penguin Books' official United Kingdom website (backup link) establishes the events of Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear take place thirteen years before the events of Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss. 
Rebecca Roanhorse (@rebeccaroanhorse) on Instagram (post): "Title and updated release date of my upcoming STAR WARS novel announced at SDCC. THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS takes place a year before Andor S1." (backup link) states that Edge of the Abyss takes place a year before the events of Andor Season 1, which are set in 5 BBY per the reasoning here. Therefore, the events of Edge of the Abyss must be set in 6 BBY, and the events of The Mask of Fear in 19 BBY. The novel places the crisis early in Mon Mothma's political career, and, according to Chapter 45, Mothma first joined the Galactic Senate around thirteen years prior to the events in the book, equating to around 32 BBY.
