Han Solo
As a child Solo was raised by space gypsies, never knowing who his real parents were. He learned tricks and self-reliance from his adoptive community. Born on Coreillia, he was a hot teenage swoop racer. From impoverished beginnings, Solo worked up through petty thievery to gain a commision in the Academy, from which he was later expelled. His stubborn nature and belief in fairness derailed his career. He interfered with some slavers who were mistreating an enslaved Wookie - actions sanctioned by the Empire - and for his insubordination was discharged from the Imperial Navy. The Wookie Chewbacca has been by Solo's side ever since, at first to pay him back for his rescue and then as his partner and confidante. Early in his career, Solo won a Corellian light freighter, the Millennium Falcon, from gambling buddy Lando Calrissian, now gaining control of his destiny. It was the best game of sabacc he ever played. Although the ship resembled a rusty bucket of bolts, Solo and Chewbacca modified it into one of the zippiest starships in the galaxy. Mercenary Pirate, smuggler captain, and cocksure braggart, the overly confident Han Solo is a rugged individual of the Galactic Rim. His reputation as a gunfighter matches his renown as captain of the Falcon. Reckless and foolhardy, he is also courageous and daring, a match for any adventure. Solo's last-minute rescue of Luke Skywalker saved the Rebel Alliance and won him one of the highest medals of honour, along with Luke Skywalker. A man of many contradictions, this smuggler-turned-hero of the Galactic Civil War and "first husband" of the New Republic is willing to take huge risks - for potentially tremendous gains. Charming and impulsive, Han Solo has been blessed with a wide lucky streak that balances his arrogance. Brave to a fault, he won the heart of Princess Leia Organa and together they have raised their three Force-sensitive children.
