Mandian
this picket frigate was part of the fleet assembled by the Old Republic during the height of the Clone Wars. The Mandian was among the ships dispatched to Praesitlyn some two and a half years after the Battle of Geonosis, as part of the mission to retake the Intergalactic Communications Center from the Separatists. The Mandian and several other picket ships were dispersed on the outer edges of Praesitlyn's system, as part of a network of ships that could warn the main force about Separatist reinforcements. It was the Mandian's crew that first discovered a reinforcement fleet arriving from Sluis Van, and although the crew was ready for a fight, their orders were to "see and flee."
