Xaverri

Xaverri was a magician and illusionist who traveled around the galaxy performing for sold-out crowds on many worlds. When she stopped at Nar Shaddaa, Han Solo wished to attend and insisted that Chewbacca go with him; Chewbacca, like many Wookiees, was superstitious of magic and was reluctant to go. Nevertheless, both Han and Chewbacca had a fabulous time at the show and were stunned by Xaverri's skill at creating illusions.

After the show, Han managed to meet Xaverri and the two became friends. They soon became intimate friends and Han took a break from smuggling. He and Chewbacca joined Xaverri's show for a few months and traveled with her, performing in costume as part of her act and working as stage assistants. Han also learned that Xaverri thoroughly hated the Empire and sought to cause them as much grief as possible though small acts, like stealing small items or otherwise breaking Imperial law.

Sadly for Solo, Xaverri felt her time with him had come to an end. They parted ways on Nar Shaddaa, but she would soon return: when the Empire announced its intentions to attack Nar Shaddaa, Han developed a plan for its defense with Mako Spince that required Xaverri's unique skill with illusion. Xaverri returned to aid their fight against the Empire and was able to produce an illusion of an entire battle fleet - a distraction that worked long enough for the smugglers to deliver the killing blow against their Imperial attacker to send them home.

At the end of the battle, Xaverri wished farewell to Han a second time, and it is possible she joined the newly-assembled Rebel Alliance.
