Evacuation of the Princess of Quanducial

"It broke when we evacuated the Princess of Quanducial down the palace wall!"

- Thame Cerulian's comment on a malfunctioning grappling hook in The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force

At some point during the the last century of the Galactic Republic, the Princess of the planet Quanducial had to be evacuated from her residence. One of the overseers of the evacution was Jedi Padawan Thame Cerulian, who helped the Princess escape by lowering her down the wall of the palace with a grappling hook. Despite having the tested breaking point of 550 kilograms, however, the device broke during the attempt. Cerulian later recorded the event in his copy of the Jedi Initiate guidebook The Jedi Path: A Manual for Students of the Force.
