Salporin/Legends

Salporin (? &mdash; 9 ABY) was a Wookiee master warrior, mate of Gorrlyn and friend of Chewbacca

During the Clone Wars, Salporin fought under Captain Merumeru in the Battle of Kashyyyk. Salporin survived the battle, but was enslaved by the Galactic Empire shortly thereafter.

Salporin was freed by Rebel Alliance commandos during their liberation of Kashyyyk and entered civilian life.

In 9 ABY, Salporin offered his home to Leia Organa Solo as a safe haven during Grand Admiral Thrawn's campaign against the New Republic. The brave Wookiee died defending Organa Solo from a Noghri attack.

Behind the Scenes
