Mirax Terrik Horn

Mirax Terrik Horn (18 BBY&mdash;) was the daughter of smuggler Booster Terrik and the wife of Corran Horn.

Biography
As their families were close, young Mirax often stayed with the Antilles family. She developed a friendship with their son, Wedge. When her father was finally apprehended by CorSec and sentenced to five years of hard labor on Kessel, the still-underaged Mirax took control of his smuggling operation. Under her guidance, the organization maintained its profitability despite turning almost completely legitimate.

Several years later, Mirax turned to smuggling herself, operating her father's ship, Pulsar Skate. In 7 ABY, she came under attack by the Imperial ship, Black Asp, but was rescued by Rogue Squadron. In addition to her friend Wedge Antilles, the squadron also included Corran Horn - whose father had been responsible for arresting Mirax's. Needless to say, Mirax didn't enjoy being in debt to him, but her friendship with Wedge convinced her to aide the New Republic.



Mirax's smuggling was essential in supplying bacta to the newly-liberated Coruscant, which was suffering from the Krytos virus. In this time, she was partnered with Horn, whom she eventually forgave and befriended. By the time of the Bacta War they had fallen in love, and just before the final battle of that conflict, she agreed when he asked to marry her. Immediately following the battle, they were married onboard the captured Lusankya by Wedge Antilles in his authority as acting ship's captain. Shortly thereafter, a larger and more official ceremony was held on Coruscant.

Following their wedding, Mirax began a shipping business, although she returned to smuggling during the Thrawn campaign to supply resistance cells and smuggle refugees on planets conquered by Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Two years after Thrawn's death, she attempted to apprehend the rogue Moff Leonia Tavira, but was instead captured by her Invid pirates. She was imprisoned on the planet Suarbi, until her husband and Luke Skywalker could free her. In 13 ABY, she gave birth to a son, Valin, and later had a daughter, Jysella. In 20 ABY, she attended the wedding of Skywalker and Mara Jade.

During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Mirax was with Corran several times at Eclipse during the Vong assault on the Eclipse Station Jedi base.

Behind the scenes

 * While the Rogue Squadron comics have her eyes being blue, I, Jedi states them as being brown.
 * While not canon, in Mike Stackpole's notes, Mirax's mother is named Jysella Terrik, after whom Mirax's own daughter Jysella Horn is named, just as Valin Horn is named after Corran's father.
