Jaina Solo Fel

"I name you the Sword of the Jedi... Yours is a restless life, and never shall you know peace, though you shall be blessed for the peace you bring to others."

- Luke Skywalker

Jaina Solo was the eldest child of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo, and was named after her paternal grandmother. She had two brothers, Jacen and Anakin. Like her father, uncle and maternal grandfather, Jaina was a talented mechanic and pilot from a young age.

Even before she and her brother were born, their uncle, Luke Skywalker, could sense their strong presence in the Force and the two shared an inseparable mental bond. Jaina started her Jedi training at the age of thirteen with her twin brother at her uncle's Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 and had many adventures with her friends Lowbacca, Tenel Ka, Zekk, Raynar and her brother, Jacen.

As her training progressed, Jaina would go through many trials as a teenager and as an adult, learning harsh lessons about life and the galaxy in general. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, after the failed mission to Mykr and the death of her brother, Jaina trod dangerously toward the darkside. She was later redeemed and joined Rogue Squadron and later led Twin Suns Squadron. After she became a Jedi Knight, she was named the "Sword of the Jedi," due to her actions in the war. In 40 ABY, she assumed control of the Hardpoint Squadron and participated in the Battle of Tralus, choosing to side with the Galactic Alliance.

Childhood (9 ABY–22 ABY)
"Mom and Dad never act that weird unless they're worried about us three little darlings." "That's for sure. They sure do worry." "Come on, Jacen. If you were our parents, wouldn't you worry?"

- Jaina and Jacen Solo.



Even before they were born, Jaina and her younger twin brother Jacen, along with their mother, were subject to no less than three kidnapping attempts by Grand Admiral Thrawn's Noghri Death Commandos. In order to entice the mad Dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth into helping him with his campaign, Thrawn had made a promise to apprehend Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo, and her as yet unborn children &mdash; Force-sensitive individuals that C'baoth would corrupt and mold in any way that he saw fit once he got his hands on them.

With a visit to the blighted world of Honoghr, Leia ensured that Jaina and then Jacen were born on Coruscant during the final days of the Thrawn Campaign &mdash; without the threat of any more kidnapping attempts by Noghri Death Commandos hanging over their heads. Thrawn, however, still trying to keep his end of the bargain, sent Imperial Intelligence agents to Coruscant to kidnap the twins and their mother once again. The quarters in which the Solo family lived were destroyed, but Thrawn's agents once again failed and the twins were unharmed.

Isolation


Despite the reassurances of ancient Jedi lore that held that childish innocence was a effective obstacle to the corrupting influence of the dark side of the Force, Jaina and Jacen's Uncle Luke believed that any contact with the dark side could warp the mind of a young child for the rest of his or her life. Given the power that the twins would wield when they grew older, Luke told Han and Leia that he felt it was best to minimize any chance for the twins to be kidnapped during this vulnerable time.

They took his advice sent the twins to New Alderaan, to be under the care of Leia's lifelong friend and aide Winter. Any safety that could be derived from this arrangement would be short-lived, however. The reborn Emperor Palpatine discovered New Alderaan's location and ordered an attack on the planet immediately. During the chaos of the Second Battle of New Alderaan, Jaina and Jacen were nearly kidnapped by Darksiders Xecr Nist and Kvag Gthull, but their efforts were thwarted by the actions of Rayf Ysanna.

Following the battle, Jaina and Jacen were brought to the ancient space city of Nespis VIII, where their parents and uncle discovered that the New Republic had survived the destruction of Da Soocha V. After the birth of their younger brother, Anakin, Jacen and Jaina would live with their mother and father in the space city until they fled with the rest of the New Republic forces, shortly before the city was destroyed by one of the Galaxy Gun's warheads.

Heeding Luke's advice, Han and Leia took Jaina, Jacen and Anakin into hiding on the world of Onderon so that the future of the Jedi would be protected from Palpatine &mdash; who planned to spiritually enter Anakin and free himself from his last clone body which was deteriorating at an alarming rate. Han and Leia took Luke's advice, but Palpatine, using a Sith oracle stone, was able to determine their destination and intercepted the Millennium Falcon. The Falcon was damaged in the ensuing confrontation but Han and Chewbacca managed to coax it into limping all the way to Onderon and landed it in the city of Iziz.

With Palpatine hot on their heels, Vima-Da-Boda and Chewbacca attempted to create a diversion with a goal of making Palpatine think that Leia and the children fled Onderon aboard the Falcon. Meanwhile, Jaina, Jacen and Anakin embarked on a day-long journey to Fortress Kira with their parents. Palpatine did not fall for the ruse and managed to track his quarry right to the room where Leia and her children were staying.

Jaina and Jacen could do little more but look on as their parents, uncle, Empatojayos Brand and Rayf Ysanna battled Palpatine's last clone. At the cost of the lives of Ysanna and Brand, Palpatine was unsuccessful in his attempt to possess Anakin's body. After the New Republic had retaken Coruscant, Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin were relocated to the isolated and nearly unknown world of Anoth with Winter, where they would once again rarely see their parents.

Reunion
"Where's Jaina!"

- Han after she disappeared.

When they were two-and-a-half years old, Jaina and Jacen returned to Coruscant to live with their parents. By this time, Jaina and Jacen demonstrated an ability to move objects with their minds from time to time. They had also further developed the mental bond that they had been born with and had a tendency to use it to complete each other's sentences or get into mischief. Because Han and Leia had been able to visit Anoth only a few times, Jaina and Jacen became quite apprehensive about leaving Winter (who they had come to view as their mother) for the care for Leia, who they viewed as a stranger.

Because Han was gone at the time that the twins returned, Leia found herself struggling to balance her motherly duties with her responsibilities as Minister of State of the New Republic. As a result, Leia enlisted the help of C-3PO, who was eager to put his recently-downloaded child-rearing subroutines to the test. C-3PO met the job with an initial enthusiasm but found himself overwhelmed on a number of occasions, including one incident in which the twins caused him to become entangled within a tentacle-cactus during a diplomatic ceremony in the Skydome Botanical Gardens. He also put his masterful storytelling abilities to use and took pride in his ability to sing lullabies in just about any language or style. More often than not, though, Jaina and Jacen would decide that they preferred their father's telling of The Little Lost Bantha Cub than anything else.

After he returned with Han from their mission to Kessel, Chewbacca assisted C-3PO with the care of Jaina and Jacen when Han and Leia attended to other responsibilities. In the first instance when the pair were tasked with taking care of the twins in their parents' absence, Jaina and Jacen's pestering managed to drive Chewbacca into a frenzy and even deteriorated C-3PO's patience programming. The Wookiee and the protocol droid decided that it would be a good idea to bring the twins on a field trip to Coruscant's Holographic Zoo of Extinct Animals. Jaina and Jacen quickly tired of the dullness of the museum and decided that a game of hide-and-seek with their escorts would be much more fun.

Without informing C-3PO and Chewbacca, Jaina and Jacen began the game. Evading Chewbacca's pursuit, the twins found their way onto a turbolift and rode it down to the floor designated as "1." Exiting from the turbolift, Jaina and Jacen embarked upon an adventure in Coruscant's undercity where they encountered many odd and dangerous creatures. The twins eventually discovered a refugee community that consisted of accountants who had fled the oppression of the Galactic Empire on Coruscant's surface. Despite his fear of the Empire (which he thought was still in power on Coruscant), King Onibald Daykim helped Jaina and Jacen return to their home.

Jaina and Jacen accompanied their parents to the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 when it was learned that their uncle Luke had been found in a coma-like state on the top of the Great Temple by his students. Upon seeing her uncle's body, Jaina, much like her brother, was baffled by his condition. Nevertheless, Jaina believed that she could somehow awaken him from his deep sleep by kissing him and was disappointed when she failed. During the dinner that followed, the twins along with their mother and the students felt a great disturbance in the Force as the Caridan system was destroyed by Kyp Durron&mdash;who, with the help of the shade of an ancient Sith Lord named Exar Kun, had also sent Luke into his then-current state.

Jaina and Jacen were able to keep their uncle's body from being destroyed by Streen after Luke appeared to them in a dream. When visiting Luke's body with Cilghal (who was taking care of the twins after their parents left the Praxeum), the Jaina and Jacen discovered that&mdash;unlike the adults at the Praxeum&mdash;they could see their uncle's disembodied spirit. When a group of Sith battle hydras came to attack Luke's body, he warned the twins again. Jaina and Cilghal helped raised the alarm among the trainees while Jacen made his way to the Grand Audience Chamber to see what he could do to help his uncle. When she finally arrived at the chamber with Cilghal, Jaina was greeted by the sight of her brother defending Luke's body with Luke's lightsaber and rushed to his aid.

Jacen ended up being knocked down by the carcass of one of the beasts as the last surviving battle hydra prepared to sting Luke with its venomous tail. The beast was thwarted by Jaina, who used her bare hands to hold it back by its wings. Cilghal then made sure that the creature would not be able to do any harm again by wringing its neck. Luke's students formed a plan to end the threat presented by Exar Kun once and for all. After helping the students combine their powers and vanquish the ancient Sith Lord, Jaina and Jacen were joyful to see their uncle whole once more.

After Anakin came perilously close to being kidnapped by Ambassador Furgan on Anoth, Leia and Han decided that he, along with Winter, would join his brother and sister on Coruscant. Because of their mother's increased diplomatic responsibilities as Chief of State of the New Republic, Jaina, Jacen and Anakin found themselves attending &mdash; and causing mischief at &mdash; important diplomatic ceremonies such as the Concert of the Winds on Vortex and the Time of Meeting on Ithor.

As Jaina grew older, she took after her father, seeming to acquire his cockiness and piloting skills as well as a certain aptitude for all things mechanical which made him proud of her. At the age of five, Jaina was allowed to have her own multitool which she was allowed to use on wood &mdash; though in the workshop only. At seven, Jaina had one that worked with metal. And at the age of nine, Han felt that Jaina was responsible enough to help him with simple repairs and also allowed her to fly the Millennium Falcon. There were a few occasions when Jaina went in over her head, be it the time when she, Jacen and Anakin constructed a faulty droid to do their housework or the many times that they had "experimented" with their Uncle Luke's lightsaber.

Jaina did not become as close to her mother as she was to her father, in fact there was a sort of distance between Jaina and her mother. Though Leia tried to be in Jaina's life as much as possible, the ever-increasing burdens of duties to the New Republic continually pulled her away from her family. Jaina noticed this more and more as she grew older and grew to resent it.

When she was around four years old, Jaina accompanied her father and brothers on a trip with Chewbacca. While Han had his hands full with Jacen and Anakin, Jaina wondered off, follwing a robotic hand. She eventually found a droid who wanted to turn her to the darkside. Fortunately, Chewbacca was able to destroy the droid and rescue Jaina. To thank him Jaina drew him a picture saying that she loved him.

Abduction
"Remember what happened? We were playing with Chewie-" "and then he jumped up-" "- and then he fell down-" "- and then I went to sleep." "Me too."

- Jaina, Jacen and Anakin

During one such visit to Munto Codru, when she was five years old, Jaina and her brothers were playing in a meadow under Chewbacca's supervision. They were kidnapped along with Chamberlain Iyon's wyrwulf. The abductors used the dark side of the Force to mask their presence and a pressure bomb to destroy any evidence as well as to (unsuccessfully) kill Chewbacca. As they left the atmosphere of Munto Codru, Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin left behind a trail of pain that could be senses in the Force by their mother.

After they returned to consciousness, Jaina, Jacen and Anakin were greeted by a man named Hethrir. He claimed that their parents, their uncle, and Chewbacca had been killed in an earthquake and that he, Hethrir, was their hold-father. Jaina and Jacen knew that Hethrir was lying, since their uncle and their father had not been on Munto Codru at the time that they were kidnapped and they confirmed their suspicions when when they managed to get Hethrir to say that Jacen had been born before Jaina, even though he claimed to be present at their birth.

During their imprisonment aboard Hethrir's Worldcraft, Jaina and Jacen were kept in individual cells while Anakin was kept near Hethrir at all times. When the twins were engaged in normal activities outside their cells, they were assigned to separate groups which had different schedules save for when they had to eat and even then, they were separated by some distance. Jaina and Jacen relied on their special bond to keep their spirits up.

Though behaving in a manner amenable to the rules in place would guarantee her more privileges as a Helper and eventually a Proctor, Jaina attempted to be as rude and uncooperative to her superiors at every turn because following Hethrir's rules would lead down the path of the dark side. Despite the drudgeries of living in such a situation, Jaina found a like mind and a friend in Lusa, a female Chironian. However, Jaina soon found that her new friend, along with Anakin and the wyrwulf were to be taken away.

An unpleasant encounter with a fully-indoctrinated Empire Youth named Vram further convinced Jaina that she and her brother needed to escape Hethrir's Worldcraft. Using a multitool that she had hidden from Hethrir's Helpers and Proctors, Jaina managed to disable the latch of her cell's door. She quickly freed Jacen and then the other children as well and they made their way out of the building in which their cells were housed. With the help of Mistress Dragon&mdash;a sand dragon that Jacen had earlier befriended&mdash;the children escaped Hethrir's compound into the "wilderness" of the Worldcraft with a group of Proctors in pursuit.

"Skiff! Jaya forgot the skiff." "What skiff?"

- Anakin and Jacen after escaping.

As the Proctors drew closer, Leia arrived in her star yacht Alderaan with Chewbacca and a woman named Rillao. Jaina and Jacen accompanied the adults to Crseih Station, where Hethrir planned to sacrifice their younger brother to a mysterious entity known as Waru and auction off Lusa, the wyrwulf, and a number of other children as slaves. As they neared Waru's temple aboard the station, Leia told Jaina and Jacen to stay with Chewbacca while she ventured inside with Han, who had happened to be on the space station with Luke at the time. When they heard what they thought to be cries of distress from Lusa and the wyrwulf, Jaina and Jacen convinced Chewbacca to enter the temple to help them. After a confrontation with Jaina and Jacen's uncle and parents, and deprived of Anakin's power, Waru destroyed Hethrir and itself.

After the confrontation with Hethrir and Waru, life returned to some semblance of normality for Jaina and her brothers. The kidnapping, however, caused Han and Leia became much more protective of their children and moreso for Han, who would not let Jaina, Jacen and Anakin out of his sight for months. Though they were protected from any harm that might come to them, the Solo children were protected from having any friends outside their parents, uncle, Chewbacca, Winter, C-3PO and R2-D2. And though she had found a friend in Lusa while she was imprisoned aboard the Worldcraft, Jaina lost contact with Lusa after she had returned to her home planet of Chiron.

Unlike their younger brother, Jaina and Jacen would often devise new and sophisticated ways to test their father's patience. However, Jacen became more and more unwilling to play with his sister, choosing instead to focus on developing his ability to use the Force to levitate objects. Jaina became annoyed by this behavior and started to disrupt his practice. Despite the hard time that she and her brother gave Han, Jaina loved him and was angered by the prospect of losing him when the news was broken to her that her father captured by the Duskhan League during the Black Fleet Crisis.

First Corellian Insurrection
"Our cousin is a bad man."

- Jaina describing her cousin, Thrackan Sal-Solo



In 18 ABY, Jaina accompanied her family on a vacation to the Corellian system. After their arrival, Leia hired a Drall named Ebrihim as a tutor for the children and a guide for the whole family. During their first day with Ebrihim, Jaina and Jacen made it clear that they were annoyed by the fact that they were being tutored during what was supposed to be their vacation. However, they eventually warmed up the idea when Ebrihim told them that they would be learning about places that they would eventually visit.

On their first outing, the family was to visit Corellia's first major archaeological site. While touring the tunnels of the excavation, Jaina noticed that Anakin had stopped following the rest of the tour and had become fascinated with a section of the tunnel's floor. She was shortly joined by Jacen and the three of them were left behind by the rest of the party. The three of them eventually stumbled upon what would later be identified as Corellia's planetary repulsor, one of which was located in each of the Five Brothers.

The children were soon found inside the gigantic chamber by Ebrihim's droid Q9-X2, who was the only member of the party who had noticed that the children had gone missing. Once they came to the conclusion that the gigantic chamber was what the Human League Heritage Squad was looking for and that it would not be a good thing if they found it, Jaina and Jacen used the Force to cover up any sign that they, their brother and Q9-X2 had been there. Jaina, Jacen, Anakin, and Q9-X2 eventually found their parents and after putting some distance between themselves and the excavation, told them about what they had found there. After several days, during which they toured Corellia's main continent, Jaina and her family would relocate their lodgings to the Governor-General's residence at Corona House. There, Leia and Han were scheduled to attend a major trade conference. The conference was the first part of a major attempt by the New Republic to re-open the Corellian system to major trade, normalize the system's relations with the rest of the Galaxy, and to shore up support for the New Republic and the embattled Governor-General Micamberlecto among the system's populace. On the first night of the conference, the children stayed up late and spied on their parents, Mara Jade, and Micamberlecto as they viewed a recording and discussed the ominous implications of the message that it had contained&mdash;that the individuals who had sent the message would destroy entire star sytems if their yet-to-be-detailed demands were not met.

Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin would end up cooped up in Corona House with Chewbacca, Ebrihim, and Q9-X2 while their parents left to advise Micamberlecto on how best to deal with the brewing crisis. They watched from their apartment as enclaves within Coronet City burned to the ground and bodies piled up in the streets in the first stages of what would come to be known as the First Corellian Insurrection.

Corona House came under fire and Chewbacca decided that at this point it was time to leave. The children, the Wookiee, the Drall, and the droid piled into the Falcon. With the freighter's hyperdrive damaged by a pocket patrol boat's lucky shot, the decision was made to visit Ebrihim's Aunt Marcha on Drall. By the time they reached Drall, the Falcon 's damaged hyperdrive became a non-issue since an interdiction field had mysteriously materialized, preventing any ship within the Corellian system from entering hyperspace.

Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin were happy to accept the hospitality of the Duchess of Mastigophorous and received a lesson about Drallish traditions as well. The following morning after breakfast, Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin told Marcha what had happened before they were forced to leave Corellia. Going against what her twin brother thought was best, Jaina also told Marcha about what she and her siblings had witnessed on the first night of the conference. She added that she felt that Anakin's discovery and the ominous message were somehow connected.

After putting all of the pieces of information as best she could, Marcha brought the children, Chewbacca, Ebrihim and Q9-X2 to Drall's planetary repulsor. They eventually made their way inside the repulsor and watched as Anakin experimented with its ancient systems and interfaces. During one of these experiments, Anakin activated the repulsor, which significantly endangered the lives of the rest of the people who had come with him. Though she was quite dispirited by the fact that Anakin had almost killed her, Jaina understood that it would be pointless to make her true feelings known and instead tried to comfort him.

Jaina and her brothers were shortly reunited with her father's cousin (and hers by extension) Thrackan Sal-Solo, who had come to Drall's planetary repulsor as soon as he had learned that it had been activated. The reunion was not a happy one, however since Thrackan had come to claim the repulsor for the Human League and imprisoned Jaina, Jacen, Anakin, Chewbacca, Ebrihim and Marcha. The leader of the Human League broadcasted images of the captive children to the rest of the Corellian system in a gamble to blackmail their mother into getting the New Republic to recognize Corellian independence. This action, however, would turn the tide of public opinion in the system against him.

Jaina and Jacen managed to escape from the force field with Anakin, who had shown them how to walk "between" the field. The children made it to the Falcon undetected and effected some repairs with the verbal help of Chewbacca and Ebrihim, who had to be left behind within the confines of the field. Because they would have to leave the adults behind, Jacen and Jaina assumed the roles of pilot and co-pilot, respectively. Before they flew the Falcon out of the repulsor chamber, Jaina decided to use the freighter's ventral blaster cannon to destroy the force field's generator and tried to damage the Human League's Mynock-class assault boat as much as possible.

While she managed to destroy the generator, the few potshots that she took at the assault boat did little damage or missed completely. Heeding her brother's warning that she was more liable to hit Chewbacca, Ebrihim and Marcha, Jaina stopped firing and held on as her brother piloted the Falcon out of the repulsor shaft with their cousin's assault boat in close pursuit.

Though he had no experience at flying the freighter and was flying it upside down, Jacen managed to outmaneuver the assault boat and ended up tailing it. Seizing the opportunity when the assault boat's shields were projected forward, Jaina destroyed its sublight engine array, causing the assault boat to hang dead in space. Immediately thereafter a tractor beam caught the Falcon. Eventually the voice of Lando Calrissian came to them over the communications system, reassuring them that there was no need to panic (though Jacen ended up being somewhat irritated when Lando mistook his voice for that of Jaina).

Aboard the Bakuran vessel Intruder, Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin were glad to see that their parents were alive and well. However, they would have to part once again because Han and Leia had volunteered to help the Bakuran fleet in its confrontation with the forces of the Sacorrian Triad's forces at Centerpoint Station. Jaina and Jacen accompanied their brother back to the planetary repulsor on Drall to see if he could find a way to use it to stop the ancient space station from continuing its destruction of whole star systems.

Once they were inside the planetary repulsor again, Jaina and Jacen tried to help the older, more experienced technicians to understand their little brother, though her own patience with him was wearing a little thin. As the critical time approached, during which Anakin would have to fire the repulsor with extreme precision, Jaina encouraged him to trust his feelings and reach out with the Force. Anakin did, and saved the lives of the twelve million inhabitants of Bovo Yagen and countless more.

During that same year, on Coruscant, Jaina befriended a street kid named Zekk, who was her first friend since she had lost contact with Lusa. Though he had a tendency for disappearing many times, Zekk became fast friends with Jacen as well and would take the twins on many adventures throughout the city. Jaina eventually found herself developing a crush on him.



"They're really getting married? Will we be invited?"

- Jaina after hearing of Luke's wedding.

After the discovery of a partial copy of the Caamas Document in 19 ABY, and because of the crisis and scandal that would inevitably follow, Jaina and her siblings were sent to Kashyyyk with Chewbacca and a group of Noghri for their protection. After it had passed, she, Jacen, and Anakin would attend the signing of the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty with their parents aboard the Star Destroyer Chimaera. Shortly after the signing of the treaty, Jaina attended her Uncle Luke's private Jedi wedding to Mara Jade. During the public ceremony commemorating the union between Luke and Mara, Jaina was confined to a room designated for the children of the guests under the watchful eye of Booster Terrik.

Jedi training (22 ABY–25 ABY)
"Always wanted to know how a lightsaber worked. Can I take yours apart, Uncle Luke?"

- Jaina Solo

By the time she was thirteen years old in 22 ABY, she and her brother, Jacen, attended her uncle Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4. At the praxeum she would meet the Hapan princess Tenel Ka, Raynar Thul and Chewbacca's nephew, Lowbacca they would all form a long lasting friendship. While Jacen developed an affinity for animals and the Living Force, Jaina became a capable pilot and mechanic, forming a close bond with her father, Han.

Jaina honed her impressive talents in the Force, and became one of the academy's most powerful students. During her time at the academy Jaina, Jacen, Tenel Ka, and Zekk would go on exciting adventures while learning valuable lessons that would hardly prepare her for the events ahead.

Shadow Academy
"That's not right. The dark side doesn't make you any stronger. It's faster, easier, more seductive. It's also more tenacious. Just as the light side brings freedom, the dark side brings only bondage. Once you enslave yourself to the dark side of the Force, you may never escape."

- Jaina Solo



In 23 ABY, when Lowbacca came back to the Praxeum late one evening with tales of a mysterious glittering object Jaina and her friends decided to investigate it. The next day they discovered that the object was a solar panel from a TIE Fighter that had crashed nearly twenty years prior. Jaina decided to fix the ship and install a hyperdrive which had been given to her as a gift by her father, a new machine to tinker with. She began working on the damaged fighter with help from Jacen, Lowbacca, and Tenel Ka. Unfortunately, the TIE's original pilot, Qorl, was still alive and had lived the last twenty-three years in Yavin 4's jungles. After kidnapping Jaina and Jacen, Qorl forced them to finish repairing his ship so he could escape his exile at long last. The twins eventually escaped due to the Millennium Falcon's arrival, but so did Qorl, leaving the jungle moon behind and searching for any remnants of the Empire. Qorl would discover the Shadow Academy, a training ground for Dark Jedi under the command of one of Luke Skywalker's fallen students, Brakiss, and the Nightsister Tamith Kai. The Shadow Academy was aligned with the Second Imperium, an insurgency group which rejected the peace treaty between the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic in 19 ABY.

During a field trip to Lando Calrissian's GemDiver Station, the twins and Lowbacca were kidnapped by stormtroopers led by Tamith Kai. En route to their kidnappers' secret base, the twins and Lowbacca were brought to the cockpit of the ship that had been used to board GemDiver Station. Here, they were reunited with Qorl, who told them that he had found "[his] Empire" and that that the kidnapping of the young Jedi Knights was the result of the information that he had given to his masters. After reversion to realspace, Tamith Kai told Jaina, Jacen and Lowbacca that they would be trained to become Dark Jedi once they arrived at their destination—the Shadow Academy.

Brakiss greeted the trio of Jedi trainees and informed them of the plans of the Second Imperium—one of the Imperial insurgency groups that had refused to acknowledge the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty. Despite their protestations to the contrary, Brakiss was convinced that Jacen, Jaina and Lowbacca would eventually come around to see things his way and had them imprisoned in tiny cells.

After a particularly disastrous lecture, Jaina experienced the power of Force lightning firsthand for defiance of Brakiss. Brakiss decided that the new recruits were wise to the propaganda that he recited in his speeches, so he decided to try to turn the twins by giving them what they desired.

In one training exercise, Brakiss pitted an unknowing Jaina against her brother by concealing each of them with hologram devices that made them think that the other was Darth Vader. In another exercise, she and Jacen were injured when hardballs, rocks and knives were thrown at them. After they survived this exercise, Brakiss announced to them that he had been so pleased with their potential that he had decided to kidnap more Jedi trainees. Luckily for Jaina, she was rescued by her brother Jacen, who had used a stolen Corusca gem to get out of his cell. Exploiting Lowbacca's computer expertise, they sabotaged the Shadow Academy's security systems and attempted to flee just as Luke Skywalker and Tenel Ka arrived. However, they were blocked by Brakiss and Tamith Kai. During a confrontation, Luke defeated his former student while Tenel Ka injured Tamith Kai's knee, defeating her temporarily. They then escaped the Academy in the stolen Imperial ship Shadow Chaser. The Shadow Academy managed to escape into hyperspace. After making it back safely to Yavin 4, Jacen, Jaina, and Lowbacca returned to life at the Praxeum.

The friends returned to Coruscant for a month-long vacation from the Jedi Praxeum's strenuous curriculum. Jaina and Jacen as well as Lowbacca and Tenel Ka spent their first day back home with Zekk, them along on adventure through the undercity of Coruscant. After a run-in with the street gang known as the Lost Ones and its leader, Norys, they managed to make it back intact to the apartment that Zekk shared with his old friend Peckhum.

Over a lunch of stormtrooper rations, the twins convinced Zekk to attend a diplomatic banquet that was going to be held in the honor of the new Karnak Alphan ambassador within the next couple of days. Zekk accepted and he showed up at the Imperial Palace at the proper time. Jacen and Jaina greeted Zekk but, despite remaining silent about the matter, could not contain what they thought about Zekk's seemingly old-fashioned style of dress and long, tangled hair and how it would look at a diplomatic banquet.

After the reception ended, Zekk stormed off in embarassment. Jaina, deprived of any chance to apologize to Zekk, planned to do so the next morning when they would head out to retrieve a central multitasking unit from a crashed Galactic Republic shuttle, but when they arrived at Zekk's apartment, nobody appeared to be home. The twins and their friends would try to contact Zekk over the next couple of days and ask Peckhum where he though that Zekk was but to no avail. With each passing day they became more worried about Zekk.

After Peckhum described to them some the places where Zekk might hide himself, Jacen and Tenel Ka ventured into the undercity by themselves while Jaina was helping to repair the Orbital Solar Energy Transfer Satellite that Peckhum was assigned to do. After returning, Jacen contacted Jaina and told her about his encounter with Zekk and the fact that the Shadow Academy was conducting operations on Coruscant. Jaina put this information together with information that she already had and helped to expose the Shadow Academy in Coruscant's orbit. The incident the vacation of the Jedi trainees short and they returned to Yavin 4. Because it was now a matter of when, and not if, the Jedi trainees would have to engage in battle with the Dark Jedi trained by the Shadow Academy, Luke decided that it was time for Jaina, Jacen, Lowbacca, and Tenel Ka to build and train with their own lightsabers.

Jacen and Tenel Ka quickly discovered the reason for the general strangeness of the situation when Tamith Kai and her assistants Garowyn and Vilas entered the room. The Jedi trainees had very little time to digest the news that Zekk was Force-sensitive and had decided to learn at the Shadow Academy before they were both stunned and left behind. After returning, Jacen and Tenel Ka were later found by Anakin, Leia, and C-3PO later.

After they returned to the upper levels of Coruscant, Jacen contacted Jaina, who was helping to repair the Orbital Solar Energy Tranfer Satellite that Peckhum was assigned to. He told her about his encounter with Zekk and the fact that the Shadow Academy was conducting operations on Coruscant. Jaina put this information together with information that she already had and helped to expose the Shadow Academy in Coruscant's orbit. The incident the vacation of the Jedi trainees short and they returned to Yavin 4. Because it was now a matter of when, and not if, the Jedi trainees would have to engage in battle with the Dark Jedi trained by the Shadow Academy, Luke decided that it was time for Jaina, Jacen, Lowbacca, and Tenel Ka to build and train with their own lightsabers.

Back at the Jedi Academy, Jaina and her friends had progressed far enough to be tasked with building their first lightsabers. Like her uncle had done years earlier, Jaina created a synthetic crystal for her lightsaber, which had a purple blade. Unfortunately, during lightsaber training, Tenel Ka lost her left arm when Jacen accidentally sliced it off.

Following that, Tenel Ka returned to her homeworld of Hapes to recover. She refused to be fitted with a prosthetic arm. Later on Hapes, Tenel Ka and her companions help defeat a revolution to overthrow Tenel Ka's grandmother Ta'a Chume.



Zekk would be forced to fight Jacen and Jaina several times, and Jaina was the most worried about the young man she considered more than just a friend. She constantly tried to bring Zekk to the light side, but was initially unable to succeed.

Later, the Jedi companions traveled to Kashyyyk, the homeworld of Lowbacca where his younger sister Sirrakuk was about to undergo a Wookiee ritual. Since the ritual was dangerous, Lowie wanted to assist his sibling. Unfortunately, a Second Imperium strike force led by Zekk himself attacked the city of Thikkiiana, a major exporter of computer technology. The four Jedi trainees defeated most of the Imperium soldiers. During the confrontation, Jaina confronted their former friend Zekk in the dangerous lower levels of the world-spanning jungle. However, Zekk did not have it in him to harm his former friends and instead warned them to stay away from the Imperium's next target: the Jedi Praxeum itself.

In response, the four Jedi raced back to the Jedi Praxeum and alerted the Jedi there. Sure enough, the Shadow Academy and a fleet of reclaimed Imperial warships appeared. Legions of Stormtroopers and Dark Jedi were then unleashed, thus starting the battle. The twins, with the help of their peers at the Jedi Academy, Luke, and Zekk would bring down the Shadow Academy and the Second Imperium forever.

Diversity Alliance
"Okay, hit it, Lowie. As I always say, show me&mdash;don't tell me."

- Jaina Solo to Lowbacca



Following the defeat of the Second Imperium, the Solo twins helped rebuild the Academy and also continued their Jedi training. While the reformed Zekk recovered from his injuries, he was harassed by nightmares as a result of his involvement with the Dark Jedi. As a result, Zekk refused to use the Force again and left the Academy on Peckhum's freighter Lightning Rod to become a bounty hunter.

However, trouble would soon come when Raynar Thul received word that his father Bornan Thul—a wealthy merchant and shipping baron—had disappeared while en route to an important trade conference with Nolaa Tarkona, the Twi'lek leader of the Diversity Alliance, a fanatical all-alien group which sought to punish Humans for the cruelty inflicted by the humanocentric Galactic Empire. Noola Tarkona was the sister of Oola, Jabba Desilijic Tiure's murdered dancer slave. Since she was a Twi'lek, the organization was based on the species' homeworld of Ryloth. When Nolaa learnt that Bornan had disappeared, she placed a huge bounty on him, and not to forget the mysterious cargo he was hiding.

Jaina and Jacen also traveled to the Alderaan system to search through the asteroid field that had once been Alderaan. The twins landed on a barren asteroid and secured a shard from what used to be the plane's core. However, they were ambushed by Ailyn Vel, disguised as the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett. Luckily for them, Zekk came to the rescue and drove the Fett impersonator away. Despite having rescued them, Zekk refused to return with them to the Academy though he decided to search for Bornan Thul later.

During their hunt for Bornan Thul, the Solo twins would be joined by Raynar Thul, Tenel Ka and Lowbacca. They searched his last known locations stretching ancient ruined worlds to the droid foundry world of Mechis III. Meanwhile, Nolaa Tarkona went on a crusade to whip up support among the alien species of the galaxy particularly the Chromans of Chroma Zed. Things when bad for the Jedi when Lowbacca misguidedly joined the Diversity Alliance under the influence of fellow Wookiee Raaba and traveled to their headquarters of Ryloth to learn more about them.

Meanwhile, Zekk rescued Bornan from bounty hunters and learnt the reason he had disappeared. Bornan had stumbled upon the location of a top-secret Imperial plague warehouse on an uncharted asteroid in the Deep Core. There was hidden within it a supply of deadly diseases created by General Evir Derricote almost two decades ago. Though the Galactic Empire had been defeated, this plague warehouse still remained with its supplies of deadly diseases. Bornan also revealed that Boba Fett (actually Ailyn Vel) had sliced into his ship's navicomputer and gotten a hold of the coordinates of the plague warehouse. Having learnt about it, Nolaa Tarkona wished to unleash a plague against all Humans.

Feeling that Lowbacca only knew the public face of the Diversity Alliance, the Solo twins along with Raynar and Tenel Ka traveled to Ryloth only to get arrested by the local authorities and put to work in the dangerous ryll mines of Ryloth. However, Lowbacca soon learnt what had befallen of his Human companions through Raaba. The enraged Wookiee turned against the Diversity Alliance and helped them escape the harsh terrain of the planet and zealous Diversity Alliance troops. The Jedi also discovered that the Diversity Alliance was stockpiling weapons for its war against Humans. They were also rescued by Zekk, Luke Skywalker and Lusa.

Back at the New Republic Senate on Coruscant, Luke requested that an inspection team be sent to Ryloth to investigate reports of Diversity Alliance aggression. After recording an encrypted message to his wife explaining their plan, Bornan, Raynar, Zekk, Jacen and Jaina Solo, Tenel Ka, and Lowbacca gathered up some explosives and went to the warehouse with the intent to destroy it. They were almost finished wiring when Diversity Alliance ships showed up. In the ensuing confrontation with Tarkona in the warehouse, some of the plague canisters were busted open, including the Human killing one. Bornan sacrificed himself so the plague would not spread, and told Raynar to get himself and his friends off the asteroid.

Meanwhile in space, a New Republic fleet under Han Solo defeated the Diversity Alliance fleet. However, Nolaa Tarkona managed to escape though she would later die on a distant asteroid from a Twi'lek-specific disease. Meanwhile on Ryloth, fighting took place when the New Republic inspection team discovered stockpiles of weapons. However, the fighting was stopped by the Twi'lek Kur who convinced the Alliance soldiers that they had been misguided and that both Humans and Aliens should work together. This ended the Diversity Alliance, thus removing a threat to the New Jedi Order and the New Republic. Following that, Zekk also joined the Jedi Praxeum.

Black Sun
"Nice turnabout, Jaina. About time you came to rescue me for a change!" "Kind of a family tradition. Dad did the same thing for Uncle Luke at the Death Star, you know. Anyway, couldn't let you keep thinking you're the only one who can pull off a surprise rescue."

- Zekk and Jaina



Following that, Jaina and Jacen went on a trip with their father Han and brother Anakin to Ord Mantell to watch the Blockade Runners Derby. Appearing at the last moment, Zekk, along with Tenel Ka and Lowbacca, won the race. However, they encountered Czethros, a bounty hunter whom had hunted Han Solo years ago though he now claimed to be an "honest" businessman. Later at a hangar bay, they were ambushed by several Chameleon creatures though they were rescued by Anja Gallandro, a young woman who wielded a lightsaber but was not a Jedi. Instead, Anja relied on doses of spice to enhance her senses.

Anja had blamed Han Solo for killing her father, but Solo denied it because her father died in a trap while finding treasure. However, Anja was actually an undercover agent for Czethros, whom actually was a leader of Black Sun. The infamous galactic-wide crime syndicate had been keeping a low profile for years ever since the death of Prince Xizor during a skirmish on Coruscant in 3 ABY. However, they had been attempting to gain power over the New Republic by planting cells in places of power including political, economic and military. Czethros controlled Anja by keeping her addicted to spice.

Han managed to convince Anja that he was good by stopping a 25 year-long civil war on her backwater homeworld of Anobis. There, Solo met with the two rival factions and brokered a truce between them. This made Anja wonder whether her hatred for Solo had been misplaced and she agreed to join the Solo twins and their companions at the Jedi Praxeum to discover her abilities.

Later, Lando Calrissian invited the twins and their friends to Cloud City where he wanted them to be the first to try out the new SkyCenter Galleria amusement park which he had invested in through the use of repurchased interests from the spice mining world of Kessel and shares from a mining operation on Varn. However, things went bad when a business associate of Calrissian named Cojahn was found dead. Worse, the Jedi discovered who Czethros actually was and his plot for galactic domination. Jacen, Tenel Ka, and Lowie were also ambushed by several Ugnaught Black Sun mercenaries in the lower levels of Cloud City.

As a result, Czethros was targeted by the New Republic and arrests for him were issued on many worlds. However, he had managed to evade capture and went underground. Unfortunately for Anja, she had realized that without Czethros that there would be no supplier for the spice that fueled her addiction. Anja then stole Zekk's ship Lightning Rod and traveled to the ocean world of Dac where she hoped to retrieve a hidden stash of spice beneath the planet's frozen ice cap.

Meanwhile on Kessel, Calrissian's longtime Sullustan mate Nien Nunb had been nearly killed during a suspicious accident in the carbon-freezing sections of the processing facility. Black Sun had planted cells even there and the Sullustan knew he was in danger. Worse for him, his workers were turning against him. Jaina and Lowbacca went to Kessel to help protect Nien Nunb while her brother Jacen, Tenel Ka and Zekk pursued Anja to Dac. On Dac, at the resort city of Crystal Reef, Jacen confronted Anja while she tried to lease a mini-sub to hunt for the hidden spice stash. He managed to help Anja confront her spice addiction and and persuaded her to accept her father's real fate. They also succeeded in destroying Czethros's stash of spice on Dac.

Back on Kessel, Czethros and an army of Black Sun mercenaries took control of the planet and captured Nien Nunb though Jaina and Lowbacca managed to escape. They also discovered that Black Sun had been planting cells in positions of power throughout the New Republic and that they had contacts on a variety of worlds. From Kessel, Czethros hoped to send a signal that would activate these cells. However, Jaina and Lowbacca sabotaged his operations by destroying the transmitter before Czethros could broadcast his signal. They also freed the prisoners and helped defeat the Black Sun mercenaries. Rather than allow himself to be captured, Czethros threw himself into a vat of carbonite and was flash-frozen instantly. However, he was retrieved and placed in New Republic custody. Chief of State Leia Organa Solo would supervise his unthawing and interrogation. As a result, the names of Black Sun moles in strategic positions of power were discovered, defeating the crime syndicate.

Following this ordeal, Jaina along with several other trainees including her brother Jacen, their younger brother Anakin, Tenel Ka, Lowbacca and Zekk were promoted to apprentice Jedi Knights during a ceremony at the Jedi Praxeum, and became the apprentice of her Aunt Mara, though she also found herself attracted to Kyp Durron's more aggressive faction. After graduating from the academy her father awarded her with a heavily modified Z-95 Headhunter as a present. She decides to fly it to Mon Calamari where they are having a vacation. However on the way she gets held up because a cyborg piloting an X-Wing tries to destroy her. He thinks that the Z-95 is a prototype despite the fact that it was manafactured many years ago. Jaina suceeds in destroying the cyborg and proceeds to Mon Calamari. While Jaina learned much from these experiences, they could hardly prepare her for the carnage that would follow shortly thereafter.

Yuuzhan Vong War (25 ABY–30 ABY)
"Nineteen. And she has more kills than the three of us put together at the same age."

- Tycho Celchu



Her skills behind the controls of an X-wing fighter earned her a position in the famous Rogue Squadron during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Flying as Rogue Eleven, Jaina went by the nickname "Sticks."

During the Battle of Dantooine, Jaina helped the refugees escape offworld before the Vong could take Dantooine.

During the Battle of Ithor, while engaging the Yuuzhan Vong fleet, she lost her wingmate Anni Capstan. This hurt her terribly. She also met a fellow pilot named Jagged Fel, nephew of the famous pilot Wedge Antilles and an ally of the New Republic flying with a Chiss defense force. The young woman felt something stir within her, and she admired Jagged Fel for his piloting skills and icy cool demeanor.

However, the battle was a terrible loss for the New Republic since the Yuuzhan Vong unleashed a biological weapon that decimated the world-spanning jungle even after their leader Shedao Shai had been slain during a duel with Jedi Knight Corran Horn. This contributed much to the Anti-Jediism of the galactic public.

In 26 ABY, during the Battle of Kalarba, Lieutenant Jaina, along with Rogue Squadron and their Chiss allies, engaged the Yuuzhan Vong fleet at Kalarba. The battle was going bad for the New Republic since the extragalactic aliens had deployed their Yo'gand's Core tactic which involved using a Dovin basal to cause Kalarba and its moon of Hosk Station to collide.

The Vong then assaulted the flagship of the New Republic fleet, the Bothan Assault Cruiser Champion. Jaina attempted to defend the ship though the enemy succeeded in blowing it up. The explosion destroyed Jaina Solo's X-wing though she managed to eject herself into space and was later retrieved. Unfortunately for her, she suffered injuries that temporarily blinded her. Jaina then received a medical leave transfer to Duro, which had been selected as an ideal SELCORE haven for refugees from conquered worlds.

Having recovered, she and Mara Jade Skywalker&mdash;with Skywalker disguised as Baroness Muehling of Kuat and Jaina as her servant&mdash;discovered that the Duros scientist Dassid Cree'Ar&mdash;whom was involved with the restoration efforts of the planet&mdash;was actually the infamous Yuuzhan Vong Nom Anor. However it came too late since Cree'Ar had sabotaged several of the operations including releasing naotebe winglings that destroyed a refugee encampment. Worse, Duro was attacked by the Vong whom used dovin basals to bring down the orbital cities and unleashed bioengineered monstrosities including Tu-Scart and Sgauru (the pair known as the "Biter and Beater") and the serpentine Ychna. Despite the efforts of the Jedi and the New Republic, Duro fell and became the first Core World to be conquered.

Brush with the dark side
"We're here to destroy the queen, not take revenge." "Right. Revenge comes later."

- Anakin and Jaina Solo



In 27 ABY, the Yuuzhan Vong created the Voxyn which hunted Force-sensitive beings. Several Jedi fell to them including her brother's old Melodie classmate Lyric and the Twi'lek Numa Rar. This led to the Mission to Myrkr. Despite infiltrating the voxyn-cloning facility Baanu Raas which orbited Myrkr and killing many Yuuzhan Vong and Voxyn, several Jedi were slain including Anakin. Worse, Jacen presumably killed though he was actually captured.

In retaliation, she rashly attacked a Yuuzhan Vong mortuary and recovered Anakin's body. Jaina then stole an enemy vessel, Ksstarr. With Coruscant captured by the [uuzhan Vong, she led the remnants of the Jedi strike force to the Hapes Cluster. On Hapes, the entire Solo family and their friends gathered for the funeral of Anakin. Following that, Jaina became embroiled in court intrigue, as the scheming former Queen Mother Ta'a Chume tried to orchestrate a marriage between her son, Prince Isolder, and Jaina, in a failed bid to replace the current Queen Mother Teneniel Djo. Jaina refused to betray Tenel Ka this way, and the old woman was arrested. During this time, Jaina came close to falling to the dark side, but barely managed to come back to the light, apprenticing herself to Kyp Durron.



By closely examining Ksstarr, Jaina realized a fundamental underpinning of Yuuzhan Vong spacefaring technology: bodies in space were recognized by their unique gravitic signature. She began exploring plans to use that knowledge against the Yuuzhan Vong. Her risky tests prove successful. Her deceptive tactics wreaked havoc with the enemy's ability to identify friends and foe, prompting her to rename the vessel Trickster. Jaina's reputation began to grow thanks to crafty disinformation spread by New Republic agents. The Yuuzhan Vong began to associate Jaina with their trickster goddess, something New Republic commanders wholeheartedly encouraged by referring to her as "Goddess," "Great One," and similar.

Following the loss of Coruscant, the remnants of the New Republic Advisory Council gathered at Borleias in 27 ABY. However, the Yuuzhan Vong also attacked the planet. On one occasion, the New Republic used the "Starlancer" to fire a laser beam through hyperspace on Warmaster Tsavong Lah's flagship as part of a show of light. During this time, Jaina was given command of an elite fighter unit known as Twin Suns Squadron originally founded by Luke Skywalker. Eventually, the Yuuzhan Vong attacked the planet unleashing swarms of Coralskippers and tens of Rakamats. Despite the best efforts of the New Republic to hold the world including using the Super Star Destroyer Lusankya to orbitally bombard the planet, Borleias was conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong.

Sword of the Jedi


"Even being a Jedi is something where you look for more. At first you acted as if Jedi was synonymous with hero. It isn't. Being a hero isn't what all these folks are here to do. They're here to do their jobs."

- Jaina Solo

This forced the New Republic to flee to the ocean world of Dac in the Outer Rim Territories. During the Galactic Civil War, the planet had been an important member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the Alliance of Free Planets and the New Republic. It was on the planet, that she was reunited with her brother Jacen and the Fosh Vergere, a mysterious Old Republic Jedi and Yuuzhan Vong agent. In 28 ABY, Jaina participated during the assault on Ylesia which saw the capture of Peace Brigade leader Thrackan Sal-Solo. She also participated during the Battle of Ebaq 9 in the Deep Core. It was during the battle that the Vergere sacrificed her life to wipe out the Vong forces on the barren moon and that Jaina took on Tsavong Lah during a one-on-one duel and slew him.

Following the battle, Chief of State Cal Omas had the New Republic reorganized as the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, also known as the Galactic Alliance for short. Governmental changes between the New Republic and the Galactic Alliance included a new constitution, a stronger judicial branch, and a better system of checks and balances that curbed the power that had been almost exclusively in the hands of the Senate. Jaina also achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and was assigned to escort her parents on diplomatic missions for the Galactic Alliance.



Later, she helped thwart a Vong invasion of Galantos and a Ssi-ruuvi attempt to retake Bakura and rename it Xwhee. She also helped in the defense of Esfandia. Following these, in 29 ABY, Jaina participated during the defense of Dac. The battle was a victory for the Galactic Alliance partly due to the death of a Yammosk on nearby Caluula. The Yammosk was used by the extragalactic aliens to coordinate their forces in combat. With the death of a Yammosk, the Yuuzhan Vong forces would be scattered.

Later it was discovered that it was the biological weapon Alpha Red had killed the Yammosk and also destroyed much of Caluula's biosphere. But the Yuuzhan Vong kept pressing their attack, even with the loss of the yammosk at Caluula. However, when the Yuuzhan Vong armada received word that Zonama Sekot had entered the Yuuzhan'tar system, formerly the Coruscant system and now the Vong capital. Realizing that Yuuzhan'tar came first, Warmaster Nas Choka ordered the fleet to withdraw.

During the Liberation of Coruscant, Jaina and her brother Jacen along with Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker began an assault on the Citadel, which was the palace of Supreme Overlord Shimrra. The Jedi and the Galactic Alliance received help from the "Jeedai"-worshipping Shamed Ones, whom were eager to overthrow their oppressors.

During the assault, Shimrra and his jester Onimi unleashed their elite Slayers on the Jedi though they emerged victorious over Shimrra. However, it was soon revealed that Onimi was the true ruler of the Yuuzhan Vong. He took Jaina captive, thinking she was the Trickster though her brother came to her aid and slew Onimi. This ended the Yuuzhan Vong War. Later, the Galactic Alliance signed a peace treaty with the Yuuzhan Vong.

After the resolution of the war, Jaina and several other young Jedi Knights had helped to capture thirty warlords and break more than one hundred smuggling operations. It was also during the time that Jag would propose to her though she declined because she felt she still had to sort through her life before she could commit herself.

Dark Nest Crisis (35 ABY–36 ABY)
"I should never had made the mistake of thinking Jedi had honor."

- Jagged Fel to Jaina Solo

Five years later, she, along with her brother and a group of Jedi, returned to the Unknown Regions after being called by the Force. There they discovered that Raynar Thul had survived, and had been joined to a Killik hive. Jaina and Zekk also joined the Killiks and became Joiners&mdash;non-Killiks who had been absorbed into the Killik hive mind. Their actions during the Battle of Qoribu led them to be expelled from the Taat nest. A year later, Jaina and Zekk&mdash;still Joined with each other &mdash; were tricked by Jacen into attacking a Chiss base to cause a war between the Chiss and the Killiks. Jaina was furious, and vowed that she would never fly with Jacen again. The Swarm War had begun.

When Luke Skywalker called all the Jedi to the Conclave on Ossus, Jaina and Zekk ignored the call and remained in the Unknown Regions to help the Killiks win the war against the Chiss on Tenupe, where Jaina commanded the Killik forces in ground combat against the Chiss. In the last stages of the battle Jaina and Zekk were forced to work with the Jedi traitor Alema Rar to destroy the Chiss' weapon against the Killiks, parasite bombs. During this stage of the Battle of Tenupe Jaina and Zekk engaged Jag in a dogfight where she confessed to Jag that she still did and would always love him and pleaded for him to eject before she shot him down. This gave Jag the chance to escape, only to later be shot down by the Millennium Falcon.

At the end of the Swarm War, Zekk and Jaina were rescued by the Millennium Falcon from the shelter they were holed up in on Tenupe. At the end of the Swarm War, both of them were recovering in the infirmary, and were quite worried about Jagged Fel's fate. They eventually became unjoined, but remained in a relationship as of 40 ABY.

Second Corellian Insurrection (40 ABY–)
"Traitor? Wait a minute, I'm half Corellian by birth, sure, but I wasn't raised a citizen. And as Jedi, we're supposed to put the interest of the greater good of planetary concerns."

- Jaina Solo

At the start of the Second Corellian Insurrection, Jaina was assigned to capture Prime Minister Aidel Saxan along with a Jedi team consisting of Zekk, Kolir Hu'lya, and Thann Mithric but failed because her target was a decoy. The failure resulted in the injury of Zekk, although it was not serious. Jaina and Zekk were present at the Battle of Tralus, where she fought for the Alliance against Corellian forces. Unknowingly she was fighting against both of her parents, and while this was going on, her twin brother would become her greatest enemy: a Sith.

As the war raged on Jaina and her brother, Jacen, became part of the Galactic Alliance Defense Force in order to crush insurgents under the leadership of Corellia. Still holding her rank of Lieutenant Colonel, Jaina and her brother led Rogue Squadron into battle but questioned her brother's methods. During the Blockade of Corellia Jacen ordered Jaina to fire on a civillian ship but she refused. As a result Jaina was stripped of her rank and suspended. Jaina began noticing Jacen's dark behavior and was the first to suggest that Ben Skywalker should be given a new master while at the same time admitting Jacen was now a stranger to her after speaking to her uncle Luke. Jaina felt that Jacen would hurt her deeply in the future.
