Shallamar

Shallamar was a female Barabel, who was one of several beings who Han Solo played sabacc with on Devaron shortly after being dishonorably discharged from the Imperial Navy. Solo's luck led her to believe he was cheating, and she attempted to kill him; fortunately for Solo, his new Wookiee friend Chewbacca disagreed with this course of action. During the fight, Han shot her just above the knee. He and Chewbacca were able to make a successful getaway.

Several years later, she would encounter him again, in the Yarith Bespin casino-hotel in Cloud City, on the planet Bespin; he and his friend Lando Calrissian had both just signed-up for one of the galaxy's largest sabacc tournaments. Still possessing a limp from where Han had shot her, she tried to kill the "cheater" again. While he evaded her, Lando called for security, who quickly restrained her. After a thorough scan showed that neither Han nor Lando possessed any cheating equipment, she reluctantly gave her word of honor not to attack them again, and in return the two humans chose not to press charges. A few minutes after they left, she was released. She was as good as her word and didn't bother either of them, although after Solo won the tournament Bria Tharen overheard her mutter to herself that somehow he was still a cheater.
