Solay

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Solay was a planet in the Outer Rim Territories.

[edit] History

From before the Clone Wars, Solay was rule by a local tyrant, King Blackart. He later ruled as an Imperial subject during the reign of the Galactic Empire. Six years into the Galactic Civil War, after 50 years of fighting, the local resistance managed to win over his forces.

The resistance was led by Raggold and Mary, joined by Luke Skywalker for the final battle. However, Raggold had at an early age betrayed the planet to the Empire, promising to win over Blackart with Imperial funds and thus allow them direct control over the planet. Consumed by the guilt over his betrayal and what it would lead to now that he had won the war, Raggold committed suicide. The Empire shortly thereafter resubjugated the world as planned, killing Mary in the process.

Being unable to help, Luke escaped the planet with the infochant Braxas.
