Chandilar was an inhabitable world that was the home of the Shi'ar race and the Throneworld of the Shi'ar Empire. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #275)
Lilandra came to take the throne with the X-Men taking part in the celebrations though Gambit and Jubilee came to spy a mysterious plot occurring in secret on the planet. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #275) A group of Warskrulls came to infiltrate Chandilar by taking the place of Professor X and some of his X-Men. One of their number came to masquerade as the Lord Chamberlain whilst the other used Xavier's telepathy to take control of Gladiator of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #276)
On Chandilar, Empress Lilandra came to learn of the detonation of the Nega-Bomb which engulfed the Kree Empire and killed millions. Though securing a Shi'ar victory, she did not celebrate and instead mourned for the massive loss of life. (Avengers v1 #347)
After being freed, Vulcan set a path to throneworld of Chandilar and commandeered a Shi'ar ship in order to make use of their Stargates to quickly travel there. (Uncanny X-Men v1 #477)
