Advance

The Mandate was a starship in the Imperial Navy during the Galactic Civil War. Before serving on the Advance and being drafted into the Imperial Special Forces group Inferno Squad by Admiral Garrick Versio in 2004,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas establishes that the year 2004 started immediately following the Battle of Yavin. As Battlefront II: Inferno Squad dates Gideon Hask's departure from the Advance to join Inferno Squad to three days after that battle, it must also have taken place in 2004. Gideon Hask served aboard the Mandate with valor following his graduation from the Royal Imperial Academy on Coruscant.
