Biography
In 3,996 BBY, Chantique was a bully at a school on an unknown planet. A Zeltron professor felt that her attitude was unnecessary for his school and sold her to Captain Dace Golliard of the Crucible. Rising from the dueling pits into the higher ranks of the Crucible, Chantique became the most ruthless slave driver in the entire organization, as well as head of the press gangs. She became acquainted with an Arkanian offshoot named Edessa, whose name was changed to Jarael. Jarael had also been brought to the Crucible by Golliard and soon became a slaver herself; she left, however, after seeing the Crucible's brutal methods.

Jarael would use Chantique's name as an alias on Telerath and later had a vision of her enslaving Zayne Carrick.

In 3,963 BBY, Chantique strangled Jervo Thalien to death after he decided to discontinue the use of slave fighters on Jervo's World. She also expressed her desire to settle her score with Jarael, who had been spotted on the station, and planned to harm the Arkanian and anyone who helped her. She would also threaten Dace Golliard with death due to his failure to capture Jarael and Zayne Carrick, but his life was spared by Bar'injar.

Carrick, under alias of Carth Kamlin, was captured in a derelict Aurek fighter and brought to the Crucible training facility on Volgax, where he was pitted against several combatants. One of their senior fighters, Snout, used memnii to show Zayne the history of the Crucible, causing the Jedi to collapse from the rush of memories. The act was part of Bar'injar's plan to show that Jedi could read memnii. Chantique then brought the former Jedi into her own quarters, revealing that the Crucible had known from the beginning who he was and that he was trying to infiltrate the organization. Chantique told Zayne that she was glad that Snout had showed him the Crucible as a whole; Carrick retorted that the fights were meaningless. Chantique pointed out that the Jedi were hypocritical, as they practiced violence to gain their objectives. She then revealed that Jarael's original name was Edessa. "Jarael," as well as the Flames of the Crucible tatooed on her face meant "Destroyer."
