A dark cheese blend was edible to members of the Chiss species. It was a favorite food of Senior Captain Xodlak'in'daro, also known by her core name "Lakinda," of the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet. Lakinda kept a private stockpile of the cheese aboard her Chiss heavy cruiser Grayshrike.[1]
Around 18 BBY,[2] Chiss Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo "Thrawn" had been sent to the planet Rapacc, and Admiral Ar'alani dispatched Lakinda to the Rapacc system to deliver a message to Thrawn. Lakinda attempted to bribe the Grayshrike's young sky-walker navigator Bet'nih with a bar of the cheese to induce the girl to navigate faster. Bet'nih enjoyed the cheese, but Lakinda's bribery did not expedite their hyperspace journey.[1]
Behind the scenes
The dark cheese appeared in the 2021 novel Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good, the second installment of Timothy Zahn's Star Wars: The Ascendancy Trilogy.[1]
