Biography

Isdam Edian was a human male who served as a security officer in the Bespin Wing Guard, a law enforcement agency based on Cloud City on the gas giant Bespin during the Galactic Civil War between the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire. In 3 ABY, the Galactic Empire arrived in the city and forced its Baron Administrator, Lando Calrissian, to help them capture the rebel smuggler Han Solo.

Isdam Edian helped transport the frozen Han Solo through Cloud City.

After he was captured with the aid of bounty hunter Boba Fett, Solo was frozen in carbonite within Cloud City's carbon-freezing chamber. Once it had been confirmed that Solo survived the process, the carbonite block containing the smuggler was given to Fett, who had Edian and another security officer transport it through the corridors of Cloud City to his Firespray-31-class patrol and attack craft, Slave I, which was parked on the East Platform.

Enroute, Edian and the other officer walked with Fett and two Imperial stormtroopers, although Fett briefly dropped back to open fire upon Luke Skywalker, an ally of Solo who the hunter had spotted lurking in one of the corridors. At the ship, the other officer pushed Solo up the ramp onto Slave I, after which Fett successfully launched from the platform while under fire from Solo's allies.
