Ania Solo was a Human female who was a member of the House of Solo from the Kilo Universe, a descendant of the smuggler Han Solo and the Jedi Knight and Princess Leia Organa Solo from the Viau Universe. She was also a distant cousin of Empress Marasiah Fel. Solo was working as a junk dealer in the Carreras system, and she accidentally discovered the lightsaber of Imperial Knight Yalta Val after an Imperial communications droid containing the lightsaber turned up in her junkyard. Enlisting the help of her Mon Calamari friend Sauk, Solo attempted to sell the weapon on Carreras Major, but soon became the target of a Sith posing as Val when the Sith learned that she had his lightsaber. Pursued by the star system's security forces, Solo, Sauk, and their friend AG-37 joined forces with the Imperial Knight Jao Assam in order to locate the real Val, but they were captured by Axis Security Force not long afterwards, and Solo's friends were injured in a battle with the Sith during their escape attempt.

Personality

"You have to try. Your family has always—"
"Stop it. Those people don't have anything to do with me. Do I look like royalty? I work in a junkyard. I wish I could be someone like that—look, I'm just not."

―AG-37 and Solo

A Human female, Ania Solo had black hair, fair skin, and brown eyes. She was independent and stood up for herself, and she leaped at the chance to move onto something bigger after she and Sauk discovered the lightsaber of Imperial Knight Yalta Val. When Darth Wredd, a Sith impostor posing as Yalta Val confronted her and demanded his lightsaber back, Solo stood up to him, believing that the law was on her side and that she had the right of salvage to the weapon. However, when the Knight's forces attacked them, Solo came to regret her actions and viewed them as stupid and brash. When roused to action, Solo disliked waiting and planning, believing that one should be proactive, and inactivity was a source of great frustration to her.

Ania was also particularly loyal to her friends, and she was unwilling to put them in harm's way unless she was there with them. When Sauk, AG-37, and Assam were injured in the fight with the Sith that Solo had started, Solo was dismayed and angry with herself for causing them harm, and she apologized to Sauk for her actions—though, as Sauk pointed out, Solo risked her life to remedy her errors and to save her friends. Solo was of the opinion that all governments were essentially corrupt, and she was hostile to Jao Assam upon meeting him in the belief that he was like the Sith impostor. However, Ania soon recognized that Jao was a good and just person and the two became close friends. This friendship led Jao to rescue her after she had been kidnapped and false accused of killing the Imperial Knight Teemen Alton. In return, Ania sought clemency for Jao after he fell into trouble with the Imperial Knights authorities.

Ania's friendship and loyalty led her to refuse to leave AG-37 behind during the Carreras Incident despite his pleas that she and Sauk leave him behind in order to save time to escape the Carreras communications array, which was colliding with the floating world of Mala. Ania was also known for her compassion. On one occasion, she vouched for the homeless Sauk and helped secure him a job and shelter in the Carreras system. Due to this one small act of kindness, Ania earned the friendship and loyalty of Sauk, who was the first to spring to her defense when she was accused of murdering Teemen Alton. In addition, Ania was known for her courage. On one occasion, she took on the assassin droid AG-37 with a gun in a desperate attempt to seek transportation offworld from the Selvatas system, where she had been imprisoned in a Sith labor camp. AG-37 was sufficiently impressed by her courage to recall his old promise to her ancestor Han Solo and to give her free passage on his freighter to the Carreras system.

In Solo's opinion, a smart individual was one that recognized an opportunity and took it, and Solo almost never refused to give up—when captured, she began searching for a way out, and it was only when she was reminded of danger to her friends that Solo began to lose hope in situations. Solo refused to be compared with her famous ancestors in the Solo family, for though she desired to be a hero like them, Solo felt that she was incapable of doing so. However, when AG-37 reminded her of how Han Solo had become a hero because he always did the right thing to rescue her friends, Solo put aside her self-doubt and became determined to rescue her friends and stop the Sith.
