Jaina Solo was born to Han Solo and Leia Organa-Solo in 9 ABY. Her story up until early 25 ABY can be found in this article but after 25 ABY the two accounts are greatly different.
Biography[]
Stellar Imperial War[]
The Stellar Imperial War began in 26 ABY and the Jedi fought alongside the New Republic when necessary. Some of the Jedi, like Jaina's twin brother Jacen, believed that the Jedi should stay out of combat and only assist in rescuing others. This proved impractical, though, especially when the planet Dantooine suddenly dropped out of contact and there were rumors of high Stellar Imperial activity in the Doldur Asteroid Belt.
Jacen and their younger brother, Anakin, along with the Jedi Knights Tiera Aranta and Vurif Meg, went on a special mission to Dantooine to investigate the reasons that the planet had lost contact with the rest of the galaxy. Jaina traveled with two Jedi Masters and Alema Rar to the Doldur asteroids. They flew through heavy Stellar Imperial traffic, but part of the mission was aborted and only Alema was able to get through to land on one of the colonies.
When Jaina tried to retrieve Alema, she found that Alema was no longer responding to any calls, and had been slowly fading from the Force. The asteroids themselves seemed to be abandoned, although she couldn't get close enough to take a good look before being chased off by the Stellar Imperial forces.
Jaina then went with her parents to the Chery system, which had likewise lost contact with HoloNet, and was the location that an escaped refugee from the Doldur belt had been tracked to. Fighting feelings of illness and dread that she couldn't explain and couldn't really control, Jaina found that the Chery planets were also stripped of all life, except for a few sentient individuals who were slowly dying.
On the return trip, Leia felt Anakin through the Force, in severe pain and near death. They believed that Anakin was dead, but Jacen was still holding on, somewhere. Jaina vowed revenge on the Stellar Imperium for Anakin's death and she wanted to go out and help find Jacen.
Luke Skywalker refused to allow Jaina to engage in combat, and instead sent her, against her wishes, to Yavin VIII where he felt she would be safer. Jaina knew that she was being kept out of combat and was angry about it, particularly since her twin was missing, but she agreed to obey orders.
When on Yavin VIII, Jaina and Zekk received a message from Raynar. This message, a taped transmission from Luke, detailed some of what was going on elsewhere in the galaxy. Darth Inferna, disguised as a Senator, had unleashed a midichlorian-destroying virus on Coruscant, which stripped all affected Jedi of their powers without killing or causing much further illness. Dantooine, Chery, and some other systems, however, had fallen plague to the virus' predecessor, which destroyed organelles that were necessary for life, killing every living thing on affected planets. He also said that the entire Dantooine investigation team, including both of Jaina's brothers, were killed.
Jaina held out hope that the message was wrong, in part because Luke got his information secondhand from the Sith in the Stellar Imperium. She was about to escape Yavin VIII and hunt for Jacen on her own when Lord Welk arrived with a canister of mist that contained the Force-stripping virus. Jaina and Zekk took the canister away and distracted him while the younger Jedi got away and made their way towards Welk's ship to dismantle some of its parts and keep him from escaping.
Jaina and Zekk bound Welk in a cave and left him there. Jaina then pulled Welk's navigational data from his computer and took the canister into orbit to release it there, where the viruses would be destroyed by radiation from the sun. Instead of returning immediately to the surface, though, she looked over the navigational data and decided to look for the Sith headquarters.
She correctly determined that Empress Shira was hiding on Cyalax and went out to find her. She tried to find Jacen through the Force, but found only bitter cold and hazy images of Anakin. Jaina interpreted this to mean that Jacen was not only dead, but unable, for unknown reasons, to join with the Force. Almost overcome with grief, Jaina slid ever closer to the Dark Side. She lied and mind-tricked her way into Shira's military complex, but was soon discovered to be an infiltrator, and ran to hide in a supply room while planning her next move.
She was found by two Stellar Imperial scientists, and when they initially refused to cooperate, she maimed one of them and threatened the other, Sarra Vall, into doing her bidding. She made Sarra give her several doses of an anti-viral vaccine, the one used by the Force-sensitive Stellar Imperials.
When Welk's ship arrived at the complex, Jaina went to meet it, fearful for what happened to her friends on Yavin VIII. However, it was Zekk who flew the ship to Cyalax, since Welk had simply excaped and stolen their ship. He tried to get Jaina to leave with him, but she wouldn't go, although her strength of conviction wavered when Zekk left her to her own decisions.
Jaina reached Lumiya's inner chambers and managed to fight through Lumiya's guards. She then dueled Empress Shira, Lady Lumiya, and was actually gaining the upper hand when Darth Inferna and Welk arrived and came to Lumiya's aid. Knowing that she couldn't defeat three Sith Lords, Jaina ran.
Sarra helped Jaina get her X-wing out of impoundment, but was shot down in the hangar before she could get to it. Jaina took this as a sign that she was never meant to be a Jedi, and she was prepared to meet whatever the Dark Side brought her, if only it would bring Shira down.
Unknown to Jaina, Darth Inferna and Welk were in trouble with Shira for humiliating her and letting Jaina escape. They planned to lure her to a remote planet and kill her, but Jaina no longer recognized the Force signs that were being sent her way.
Months of searching couldn't bring Shira out of her new hiding place, and she finally returned to Hapes with the last of the Jedi who had not fallen to the Force stripping. These months had mellowed her out to an extent and softened some of her anger into fatigue. Once on Hapes, Jaina experienced a few seconds of the worst pain she had ever felt. She lost consciousness and when she came to, she knew that Jacen was, in fact, still alive - what she was feeling was his pain through their muted twin bond. She also had felt two dark presences with him, and then only one, and thought that he might have killed a Sith Lord and escaped wherever he was.
Jaina looked over Welk's data again and found two locations that she hadn't visited. One of them turned out to be Shira's new base of operations, near Angwel, and Shira's Stellar Imperium was defeated in the Battle of Angwel of 29 ABY. Shira herself was killed by Jaina and Zekk. Once the Force began to clear of the Dark Side, with Shira and Darth Inferna dead, Jaina began once again to look for Jacen. She left Bastion, where a treaty was being drawn up, and picked up the search.
She found Jacen on G0-CVII, a cold but habitable planet, where he had crash-landed with Anakin a year earlier. The bigger surprise was that Anakin, too, had survived; he almost died shortly after the crash, after being badly battered by General Melany Baclaw, but Jacen was able to treat his wounds and save his life.
Jaina flew the both back to Bastion. On the way, though, she discovered that the young men's relationship had changed, and in ways that she could not readily accept. She tried to argue with Jacen about it, but it was futile, so she had a drink and went to sleep, choosing to ignore the issue and simply thankful that her brothers were alive.
The Post-Imperial Era[]
Jaina married Zekk of Ennth less than a year after the end of the war. Anakin attended the wedding with his new friend Dyar Leeds, a drug smuggler who was often in trouble. Zekk's sister Ingvor Gord also showed up, chasing Dyar and trying to collect the bounty on Dyar's head. They were peaceful for the ceremony.
Jaina uncomfortably noticed that Dyar and Jacen didn't get along, and she was shocked when Jacen proposed to Tenel Ka Djo. Her reaction was to cover her face and shake her head, knowing that it would end badly. She was partly wrong - Tenel Ka and Jacen remained friends until Tenel Ka's death. But she was partly right - the couple divorced a year and half after their marriage.
Jaina had two children - Nilla and Verayan. They had as normal a childhood as Jaina could give them, while encouraging them to use their gifts and enrolling them in the Jedi Academy as soon as they were old enough.
Queen Mother Teneniel Djo was assassinated in 37 ABY and Tenel Ka had no choice but to take the crown to keep it from falling to her wicked grandmother. Jaina's niece, Allana Djo, went to live with Jacen. It was at this time that Anakin left Dyar and moved in with Jacen, of which Jaina was uncomfortably aware, but she said nothing. She continued to live her life as usual, although she got into an ugly confrontation with Jacen over his activities when he and Anakin slept too late and Allana missed school.
Jaina was the first person that Jacen confided in regarding all he went through at the hands of the Sith on G0-CVII, and she was no longer angry with him afterwards, although she encouraged him to be honest with others because lies always snowball. When Han and Leia discovered what was happening between their sons, Jaina was the only one to speak up for them, essentially telling her parents that Jacen and Anakin were adults and that Han and Leia should mind their own business. Zekk sided with Han and Leia, and while Jaina was able to get through the argument no worse for wear and repair her relationships (for her and Zekk, it was merely a spat), there was a near-permanent rift between Han and Jacen.
Jaina helped Allana through some of the rougher periods of growing up, particularly when Allana reached puberty and needed to buy different clothes. Allana insisted on going with Aunt Jaina to shop instead of Jacen or Uncle Anakin. In some ways, Jaina was a maternal figure in Allana's life, since it was not safe for her to contact Tenel Ka often. Allana was living under an assumed name and pretending to be Jacen's illegitimate daughter by a Tatooine woman, lest Ta'a Chume hunt her down.
The 40s ABY and Beyond[]
Ingvor risked her life to blow the whistle on a plot concocted by Ta'a Chume to assassinate Tenel Ka. At the time, Jaina's two children were on Hapes, with Allana and two other young Jedi trainees. Jaina, Zekk, Jacen, Anakin, and Ingvor headed to Hapes immediately, but Boba Fett caught up with them and was able to damage Tenel Ka's palace. Jacen, Anakin, Allana, and Tenel Ka were separated from the rest of the group and Boba shot their ship down. Nobody was hurt in the rough landing, and Tenel Ka wounded Boba before they all fled to Jaina's ship. Boba, however, shot Tenel Ka before he died, and she was killed while helping Allana into the ship.
Jaina became even more important to Allana after losing Tenel Ka, and Jaina was a mentor to Allana and helped guide her path. Allana was Knighted in 48 ABY at the same time of Jaina's son Verayan. The Solo family was never as close as it was before the Stellar Imperial War, but by the time that Han and Leia's grandchildren became Jedi Knights, some of the damage had been repaired.
Jaina eventually reached the rank of Jedi Master and was greatly respected throughout the Jedi Order, and known for being both tough and wise, having learned from her earlier experiences.
