Character Spotlight: Thrackan sAL sOLO


Thrackan Sal-Solo was born on Corellia, a planet known for its independent spirit and skilled pilots. He was a cousin of Han Solo, though the two had vastly different personalities and values. Thrackan grew up harboring resentment and jealousy toward Han, who became a hero of the Rebel Alliance and a prominent figure in the New Republic.


Thrackan's early life is marked by his involvement in various criminal activities. He was notorious for his lack of scruples and willingness to betray others for personal gain. This made him a dangerous figure in Corellia's underworld, and his ambitions eventually led him to seek political power.


Rise to Power


During the time of the New Republic, Thrackan became involved in Corellian politics, leveraging his criminal connections and ruthlessness to gain influence. He became a leader of the Human League, a xenophobic organization that sought to promote human supremacy on Corellia and push for Corellian independence from the New Republic.


Thrackan's most significant rise to power came during the Corellian Crisis, a conflict in which he played a central role. He orchestrated a plot to ignite a war between the New Republic and the Corellian sector by using a superweapon, the Centerpoint Station, to threaten the galaxy. His goal was to establish himself as the ruler of an independent Corellian Empire.


The Corellian Crisis


During the Corellian Crisis, Thrackan's actions brought him into direct conflict with the New Republic and his cousin Han Solo. Thrackan's plans were ultimately thwarted by Han, Leia Organa Solo, and their allies. Despite his defeat, Thrackan survived and continued to be a thorn in the side of the New Republic.



Thrackan Sal-Solo's later years were marked by continued attempts to seize power. He once again became a leader on Corellia during the Second Galactic Civil War, where he aligned with the Confederation, a group of systems rebelling against the Galactic Alliance (the successor to the New Republic).


Despite his cunning and ruthlessness, Thrackan's ambitions were never fully realized. He was eventually assassinated by a fellow Corellian, Dur Gejjen, who saw him as a liability to their cause. Thrackan's death marked the end of his long, treacherous career, though his actions left a lasting impact on Corellia and the galaxy.



Legacy


Thrackan Sal-Solo's legacy is one of treachery and failed ambition. His actions, particularly during the Corellian Crisis, had significant repercussions for the New Republic and the galaxy at large. Though he never achieved his ultimate goal of ruling an independent Corellian Empire, his schemes and betrayals are a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the corrupting influence of power.
