Unidentified cheese

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.
Around 18 BBY,Star Wars: Timelines places the main events of Thrawn Ascendancy: Greater Good in 18 BBY. 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 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.
