The ou'tranoi was a spherical sacred vase said to be used by the shamans of Golus Pheyar to collect the souls of their enemies. It was held in the Antiquities Institute of the Tion Hegemony until it was stolen by Hylobon mercenaries in 11 BBY. Imperial Security Bureau Agent Andressa Divo suspected Crimson Dawn Capo Dryden Vos of being involved in the theft, and the vase had indeed ended up in his personal study on board the yacht First Light by 10 BBY.

Description[]

The ou'tranoi was a sacred vase that had a spherically shaped body with a circular base and a neck at the top that was sealed by a lid. A series of equally spaced yellow dotted vertical lines ran from the base of vase to the tip of the neck, with a horizontal line transecting around the vase's circumference.[1]

The gaps in between the dotted lines on the vase's exterior were filled with a series of small green circles, with the segments in the top half also containing a single larger lens shape in a yellow color.[1]

History[]

The ou'tranoi was believed to have been used by the shamans of the Golus Pheyar to collect the souls of their enemies. By the reign of the Galactic Empire, the vase was held by the Antiquities Institute of the Tion Hegemony;[1] however, prior to or during 11 BBY[4] the vase was stolen from the institute by Hylobon mercenaries.[1]

The thieves were caught on holographic security footage, which was reviewed by the Imperial Security Bureau. Bureau Agent Andressa Divo added the case to a file she maintained on historical artifact thefts that she suspected had been orchestrated by the criminal Crimson Dawn Capo Dryden Vos, whom was known to keep a collection of artifacts in his personal study on board the yacht First Light. Vos was known to regularly use Hylobon Enforcers, strengthening his ties to the ou'tranoi theft.[1]

By 10 BBY,[5] the ou'tranoi had indeed made its way to Vos's personal study on the First Light, where the capo displayed it on a stand next to a variety of other artifacts including the Dancing Goddess idol of the Godoan species and the mummified hand of the Lost King of Duro.[6] When Vos fought with his lieutenant Qi'ra and the smuggler Han Solo in his study in 10 BBY, several of the artifacts where damaged or destroyed, including the Dancing Goddess idol, which shattered, spraying shards of crystal across the other objects around it. Qi'ra ultimately killed Vos and took ownership of the First Light, along with the artifacts remaining aboard it.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

Double outranoi

Two ou'tranois were made for Solo: A Star Wars Story but only one made it into the final film.

The ou'tranoi first appeared in the 2018 Anthology Series film, Solo: A Star Wars Story.[2] It was first identified in the new Star Wars canon in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo.[1] The ou'tranoi originally appeared in the 1987 Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game rule book written by Greg Costikyan.[7]

Footage from the set used for Vos's study on the First Light at Pinewood Studios shows that there were in fact two identical ou'tranoi vases made and at one point both displayed on the table;[8] however, in the final cut of the movie only one is visible.[2]

  4. Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious includes the theft of the ou'tranoi in a case file dated to the C.R.C. year 7966. The book also dates the Boonta Eve Classic to C.R.C. year 7945. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the Boonta Eve Classic to 32 BBY, meaning if 7945 C.R.C. is equivalent to 32 BBY then 7966 C.R.C. must be equivelant to 11 BBY.
  5. Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide dates the events on board the First Light in Solo: A Star Wars Story to nine years after the formation of the Galactic Empire. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the formation of the Empire to 19 BBY; therefore, the events on the First Light in Solo must take place in 10 BBY.
