Chandrakant was the smaller of the two moons of the Core Worlds planet Chandrila. Like 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 moon, which was only a fraction of the size of its fellow moon Chandra, was covered in amber-colored gases that reflected a dull, golden light and were toxic to most species. Chandrakant's name meant "counterpoint" in the Chandrilan language.
Behind the scenes
Chandrila's two moons were first mentioned in Coruscant and the Core Worlds, a 2003 sourcebook published by Wizards of the Coast for use with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, but Chandrakant was not named separately until the 2015 Star Wars Roleplaying expansion Strongholds of Resistance, which was published by Fantasy Flight Games, published for use with the Star Wars: Age of Rebellion roleplaying game system. The 2009 reference book The Essential Atlas placed the Chandrila system, and therefore Chandrakant, in grid square L-9.
