Biography
While in battle against Imperial forces Sunn-Childe was knocked down a large pit by stray blaster fire. He fell into a mysterious flame which didn't seem to harm him, and upon seeing this the native M'usts regarded him as a kind of deity. In those caverns he lived and learned with the primitives and realized that he had acquired a strange psychic power, but he vowed never to use this power against a fellow being.

He dedicated himself to peace and used his power to create a City of Dreams in another dimension beyond the reach of the violent conflict of the Galactic Civil War. He invited his former comrades to join him in his paradise, including Ansible Beelyard also known as the "Holy Terror" during his time as a warrior.

Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca happened upon Sunn-Childe's City of Dreams by accident as they were traveling through hyperspace in the Millennium Falcon when a malfunction occurred. Calrissian immediately recognized Sunn-Childe but didn't understand how the former Rebel hero could turn his back on the cause to defeat the Empire. In fact Calrissian even lashed out at him in anger causing several beings to attack, beings that were manifestations of the dark side of Sunn-Childe's soul. Sunn-Childe absorbed these beings into him removing the danger, but he was frustrated at Calrissian's angry reaction.

Soon, a fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers led by Captain Plikk discovered a tear in the dimensional fabric that led to the City of Dreams and attacked Sunn-Childe's home. Having repaired the Falcon, Calrissian and Chewbacca decided to repel the fleet on their own against impossible odds. Realizing this, Sunn-Childe used his powers to attack the Star Destroyers with psychic beasts, but he reverted back to his pacifist ways, calling his beasts back into himself and refused to continue the attack.

He did this knowing that the Imperials would destroy him and his paradise, but he stood by his principles as the Star Destroyers demolished his home. In doing so, the Star Destroyers expended all their power and were unable to return to their home dimension. Lando decided to leave them there to let them die as revenge for their actions against Cody Sunn-Childe and his City of Dreams.
