- "Never tell me the odds!"
- ―Han Solo
Han Solo was a Human smuggler from the manufacturing planet Corellia who achieved galactic fame as a member of the New Galactic Republic as well as the Alliance of Nations following the First Multiverse War. Born on the Viau Corellia, he was orphaned at an early age and taken by the pirate Garris Shrike to serve on his crew. He was treated cruelly, and served Shrike for many years before escaping while in his teens. Solo became a smuggler, and fell in love with Bria Tharen, though she left him due to her duties to the Allies. Solo then entered the Imperial Academy at Carida, serving with distinction. He was kicked out, however, when he stopped an Helghast officer from beating a Wookiee named Chewbacca with a neuronic whip for resisting capture. In gratitude, the Wookiee swore a life debt to Solo, protecting him with his life. He became a smuggler once again, with Chewbacca at his side. Piloting the upgraded and customized Millennium Falcon, which he won in a game of Sabacc against Lando Calrissian and RJ MacReady, their future friends, he became known as one of the best smugglers in the multiverse.
On the run from Imperial officials, Solo became caught up with the Rebel Alliance, courtesy of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia Organa, whom he helped rescue from the Death Star. Solo helped Skywalker destroy the Death Star when it attacked the Rebel base at Yavin 4, where they had taken Organa. Solo became an unofficial member of the New Republic, and fell in love with Organa. He officially joined the Alliance in 4 ABY (1418 NE) and was immediately commissioned as a general.
Solo married Organa in 8 ABY (1422 NE), and the two had three children: Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin in the first few years. In XX ABY (XXXX NE) the New Republic and the Empire were attacked by the Yuuzhan Vong. The war that followed lasted four years and was extremely bloody. Solo's closest friend Chewbacca and his son Anakin Solo both died during the war, deaths that haunted the ex-smuggler. The Vong were eventually defeated and the New Republic was reformed into the Galactic Alliance.
As the New Republic was threatened by many enemies during the Civil War, Solo was always on the move, sometimes traveling with Luke, Alexi Scott. Along with his wife and faithful Wookiee friend, Solo fought against Warlord Zsinj, Grand Admiral Thrawn, the reborn Emperor Palpatine, Admiral Daala and the Yevetha. He led the strike team that helped destroy the Second Death Star at the Battle of Endor, in which Emperor Palpatine was killed and tripping the Axis of Empire's strength in 786 ABY (2190 NE). The Axis were defeated and the New Republic was reformed into the Galactic Alliance. In XXX ABY (XXXX N), his sons Jacen and Kylo Ren turned to the dark side of the Force,. Solo and his wife joined the Corellian Confederacy and the United Civilizations opposing Sith Imperial factions, and the two were prepared to kill Jane, as they no longer saw him as their son.
Biography[]
Personality and Traits[]
Han Solo from the Viau Universe was known for his cockiness, dry wit, rudeness, piloting skills, and his fast draw. He also had an affinity for Sabacc and other gambling games. He often boasted of his achievements he made in his ship the Millennium Falcon, such as making the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, and being able to outrun Imperial Star Destroyers. Captain Solo was quite the mechanic, having made countless modifications to the Falcon alongside Chewie. He once said he preferred to shoot first as opposed to shooting second, and used to his advantage on at least one occasion the fact that he was ambidextrous. Han Solo was also one of the few people to evade Boba Fett on multiple occasions. During the Second Multiverse War, when he began to distrust the New Jedi Order because of his beliefs that Corellia should be able to have independence, Leia often referred to him as "the most dangerous man in the galaxy".
Han was not known to be Force-sensitive, unlike his wife, children and many of his friends, although due to his experience with the Force via his friends and family, he was Force-attuned. Despite his family and frequent companions including some of the most powerful Jedi in the Viau Skyriver Galaxy, Han was far from helpless in comparison. His ability to think up inventive and often extremely unorthodox solutions to problems on the fly proved to be a constant source of frustration to all enemies he encountered (and often his friends). This, combined with Han's peerless skill at the hands of the Millennium Falcon as well as the legendary "Solo Luck" more than compensated for any lack of Force sensitivity. During his daughter Jaina's wedding, however, Jaina speculated that he may have potentially possessed a mild form of Force-sensitivity.
He was, however, a man with insecurities as well. He was overprotective of his ship and hated times when the Falcon was modified or repaired too much, especially by droids, as tight bolts on the craft wouldn't let him feel how hard they were hit by laser fire, resulting in him loosening several of them around the ship. He was also hesitant to let Chewbacca, Lando or anyone else fly it. Han also vowed jokingly to never give the codes for the Falcon to his son Jacen, at least not in his lifetime.
Among the multiple skills he developed during his early career, Han Solo became familiar with the practice and details of dishwashing.
Han Solo was known to dislike droids and discouraged them from travelling in his ship, although he relented in certain circumstances. After he joined the Rebellion, he allowed C-3PO and R2-D2 free access to the Falcon, as a special case and in attention to Luke Skywalker's and Leia Organa's wishes; Solo nevertheless rarely had a good word to any of the droids.
He had a particular distaste for "bugs", as he revealed during the Swarm War, probably due to the run-in with Kamarian religious fanatics early in his smuggling career. Han also had a loud snore which bothered Leia.
In addition to speaking his native Basic, Solo fluently understood many other languages, including Shyriiwook, Trader's argot Rodese, Illodian, and Huttese. He could also imperfectly speak Mandaba, the Selonian language. Although he spoke Basic with a Corellian accent for much of his life, he had developed more of a Coruscanti accent by the First Aftermath
