- "Obviously, to the Empire, we are criminals and a threat to their domination. But to the citizens, we Rebels may be viewed as Freedom Fighters...or as the criminals that the Empire is making us to be."
- ―Acun Solari, to a Rebel operative
Acun Solari was an officer in the Alliance to Restore the Republic who lived during the time of the Galactic Civil War.
Biography[]
- "The more the actual pirates and criminal elements terrorize citizens while we do nothing to help them, the more we are lumped in with their ilk."
- ―Acun Solari, to a Rebel operative
After the Battle of Yavin, Acun Solari was based in the city of Tyrena, on the planet Corellia.[1]
The corpse of the Rebel pilot near his crashed escape pod
In 1 ABY,[2] a starship of the Alliance was attacked in the Corellian system. Fortunately, the Rebel pilot, a friend of Acun Solari, fled in an escape pod and safely crash-landed on Corellia. The pilot contacted Solari by radio to request evacuation. The Rebel officer quickly assembled a group of operatives in the Tyrena cantina and dispatched them to rescue the pilot in the wilderness. However, the first to find the crash site were a group of Flail thugs,[1] looking for ship parts to salvage.[3] The criminals assassinated the Rebel pilot on the spot. The Flails then attacked the rescue team but they were all killed in the fight. The Rebel operatives later reported to Solari. The officer was deeply outraged that a hero of the Alliance who had survived an Imperial attack could then be murdered without reason by common criminals. In retaliation, Acun Solari initiated a vendetta against criminals and pirates in the Corellian system, convinced that it was the duty of the Alliance to fight them. The Rebel operatives therefore struck a Flail camp near Tyrena and killed 15 of them. They also eliminated a band of Binayre Pirates on Talus. Eventually, Rebel pilots destroyed a group of Hidden Daggers starfighters in Corellian space.[1]

Acun Solari was a non-player character in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[1] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[4] Acun Solari was added to the game with the release of the Publish 14.1, on March 24, 2005.[3]

Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed — Rebel Quest: "Enough!!" on Corellia
- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
