Legend

this street urchin from the Corellian sector of Nar Shaddaa once claimed to be a relative of Han Solo's. He claimed that his father, Renn, was Han's father's second cousin. Han didn't believe for a minute that the youth was his relative, but his own years of eking out an existence as a beggar told him to take Jarik in and keep him off the streets. Roa eventually confirmed that Jarik was nothing more than a street kid. Jarik accompanied Han and Chewbacca on many adventures in the Bria, including several Kessel Runs. When Han decided that he had to leave Nar Shaddaa to escape an impending marriage to Salla Zend, Jarik stayed behind to pursue a new girlfriend and a job at Shug's Spacebarn. Although the girlfriend left him, Jarik continued to work for Shug Ninx. When Han returned to recruit smugglers fo the assault on Ylesia, Jarik joined up, having lost his girlfriend but maintaining his skills. He joined the team which attempted to destroy the turbolaser emplacement protecting the planet, but was killed in the firefight which preceded the Alliance's victory.
