Legend

this compact, gray-haired little man had a cocky attitude that was evident in his mannerisms and dress. He often wore a floppy red cap, and was a former smuggler and bootlegger. When his cousin asked if he would help her out by carrying a load of chak-root with some of the features destined for the Corporate Sector, he happily agreed. After finding out that chak-root was illegal, and that it was also highly profitable to run it, Sonniod eventually joined his cousin's organization full-time. During this time, he first met Han Solo, and the two became friends. He eventually retired from smuggling and worked a legitimate business, shuttling holofeatures from planet to planet for a major distributor, during the early years of the New Order. He worked a total of fifty backwater systems, many of them on the edge of the Corporate Sector. It was during this time that he helped set up his old friend, Han Solo, up on Kamar, where Han was trying to make money showing holofeatures. The pair had to make a daring escape from the planet, after the native Kamarians became enraged when Han stopped showing Varn, World of Water, which had become an object of worship among the Kamarians.
