Legend

this Wookiee was a friend of Chewbacca's. A native to the planet Kashyyyk, Salporin was born in Kachirho and lived there most of his life. Shortly before the Battle of Geonosis, he fell in love with Gorrlyn. The two were among the many Wookiee soldiers who took part in the First Battle of Kashyyyk, during the final stages of the Clone Wars. Salporin served under Merumeru during the fighting. Like many Wookiees, Salporin was forced into slavery during the era of the New Order, until he was freed by Alliance commandos during the Galactic Civil Wars. Several years later, Salporin welcomed Chewbacca back home during the early years of the New Republic, when Chewbacca brought Leia Organa-Solo to Kashyyyk to keep her safe during her first pregnancy. Their plan was eventually discovered by Grand Admiral Thrawn, wh dispatched a group of Noghri assassins to eliminate her. Salporin was one of the many Wookiees who had been protecting Leia, but he was killed by Imperial forces while trying to defend her.
