Han
Solo and Leia Organa Solo's first daughter, born on Coruscant. She is five
minutes older than her twin brother, Jacen, and is equally strong with
the Force. She has certain mechanical abilities, much like her father,
but not as strong as her brother, Anakin. When she and Jacen attend Luke
Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, at the age of 14, she collects all
sorts of old technology from the original Alliance base, using some of
it to create cages for Jacen's exotic collection of creatures. Others she
keeps to see if she can repair them. Jaina created a lightsaber of violet
light while studying at Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. She later
trained directly with Mara Jade, after Mara's marriage to Luke, when Luke
began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire style of teaching.
A real student of the Force, Jaina found it hard to be around her mother
when she tried to use the Force. Jaina felt that Leia played with her Force
skills . During the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy, Jaina put her
skills with the Force to work as a member of Rogue Squadron, flying an
X-Wing into battle against the aliens. She survived a number of battles,
but was forced to eject from her fighter during the defense of Kalarba.
She was caught in the explosion of the Champion, and suffered blinding
damage to her eyes which left her with fuzzy vision for several weeks.
She was shipped off to Duro, to make room for more desparate injuries,
and helped her father in the evacuation of Settlement Thirty-two. Over
time, her eyesight returned, and Jaina longed to get back into the cockpit.
However, her status as a Jedi Knight forced Gavin Darklighter to place
her on extended leave, in order to appease the politicians of the Senate.
Jaina agreed to be part of the Jedi strike team which was dispatched to
Myrkr to eliminate the voxyn queen, along with both of her brothers. She
was unprepared for the losses the Jedi took just to infiltrate the Baanu
Rass, and was was overcome when Anakin was killed aboard the worldship.
She openly blamed Jacen for Anakin's death, claiming that Jacen left him
to die. In her anger over the loss of Anakin and her blame of Jacen, Jaina
turned to the Dark Side of the Force. She conjured up an intense storm
of Force lightning when a Yuuzhan Vong nearly killed her, utterly destroying
the alien attacker without remorse. After finally destroying the voxyn
queen, the Jedi were forced to flee the worldship in order to return to
Eclipse. Jacen, however, had been captured trough double-crossing. Jaina
was forced to leave him , but she vowed to rescue her brother, despite
her earlier animosity toward him. |
Han
Solo and Leia Organa Solo's first son, born on Coruscant. As is his twin
sister, Jaina, he is very strong in the force. Jacen has the special ability
to communicate with animals. When he and his sister turn 14, they attend
Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin 4. While there, Jacen developed
an extensive collection of the jungle moon's exotic fauna, many of which
escape the cages built for them by Jacen's sister, Jaina. When he finally
constructed his own lightsaber, Jacen chose focusing stones which produced
a glowing, emerald green blade. He later trained directly with Luke himself,
as Luke began moving the new Jedi Knights back to the pre-Empire style
of teaching. Luke also trained Jacen's brother, Anakin, although both brothers
had different ideas on what the future of the Jedi should be. Jacen agreed
with Luke, that the formation of a new Jedi Council would help bring the
vigilantes under control. Jacen also believed more in the spiritual aspects
of the Force. They fought often, verbally and with lightsabers, both claiming
their intense sessions were simply training. He traveled with his younger
brother, Anakin, to Centerpoint Station, just before the Battle of Fondor,
but urged Anakin not to use the Force to fire it. When Thrackan Sal-Solo
fired it instead, and nearly destroyed the combined Republic and Hapan
fleets, Jacen felt himself lost in his struggle to understand the Force.
After having an intense vision of the galaxy, teetering on a single balance
point that he alone controlled, Jacen tried to stop using the Force altogether.
His family tried to bring him out of this mental state, but Jacen doggedly
refused. However, when his mother was threated by the Yuuzhan Vong on Duro,
Jacen realized that he had reached the balance point in his vision. Drawing
on the Force, he managed to escape with his mother and get her to safety.
Shortly afterward, Jacen and his siblings joined the Jedi strike team which
was sent ot Myrkr to locate and destroy the voxyn queen. When Anakin was
killed aboard the Baanu Rass, Jacen found that his sister blamed him for
Anakin's death. Eventually, the Jedi were able to defeat the voxyn queen,
but Jacen was captured when Vergere betrayed him to the Yuuzhan Vong. Despite
her changing allegiance, Vergere provided Jacen with several of her healing
"tears," to help prepare him for the torture he was about to receive after
his capture. |
