Allana Solo

Allana was the force-sensitive daughter of Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka. As the Chume Ta' of the Hapes Consortium, Allana was expected to ascend to the Hapan throne one day in the future.

Biography
When Jacen talked with Tenel Ka about borrowing a Hapan fleet to help the Killiks in their battle against the Chiss, she agreed, on the condition that he spend one night with her. That time they spent together resulted in Tenel Ka becoming pregnant.

Tenel Ka carried and concealed the baby for twelve months by using the Force, but after Allana was born, Jacen was forced into saving her from an unhappy Ta'a Chume. Due to this assassination attempt, the couple decided to keep the identity of the baby's father a secret to protect her from angered Hapan nobles. Ben Skywalker, who was still joined to the Gorog nest, and accidentally discovered Allana's paternity, had all mention of Allana and the visit to Hapes wiped from his mind by Jacen.

Even at the Jedi convocation at Ossus, Jacen and Tenel Ka would not reveal that Jacen was Allana's father to Han and Leia Organa Solo, who happen to be Allana's paternal grandparents. Leia surmised her son knew who the father was, but did not suspect Jacen. Luke Skywalker speculated that Tenel Ka's reluctance to talk about Allana meant that she was blemished in someway&mdash;a fate the Hapans considered to be worse than death.

During the Second Corellian Insurrection, Allana and her mother were marked for death by both Jacen Solo, as a sacrifice for his Sith training, and the Corellian leaders, as part of a plot to remove Tenel Ka and her heir from the Hapan throne in order to let a pro-Corellian relative take control. Her Solo grandparents, who still don't know about their blood ties to Allana, could not stand by and watch the Corellians attempt to murder her and her mother. They turned against the Corellians they had been siding with, and vowed to save Tenel Ka and Allana.

Behind the scenes

 * For a long time when rumors came out that there would be a new birth during the Dark Nest Trilogy, it was assumed that Jaina Solo would be the character having a child. After Dark Nest I: The Joiner King came out, many started to speculate that Jacen Solo and Tenel Ka would be the characters having a child.


 * During Dark Nest II: The Unseen Queen, when the character of Allana was first introduced, the baby remained nameless. Many fans started speculating what the child would be named.  Some even wondered if Allana would be named Padmé, after her paternal great-grandmother, Padmé Amidala, because Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa Solo had just discovered the identity of their mother.


 * According to Troy Denning, in his official thread on theforce.net forums, where he goes by the alias TailOne, Allana was named after the founder of the Force-sensitive Witches of Dathomir, Allya, and either the maternal grandfather of Jacen Solo, Anakin Skywalker, or Anakin Solo, Jacen's brother (All + Ana = Allana). She was not named in The Unseen Queen because Tenel Ka wanted Jacen to be a part of choosing her name.
