"Yeah?"
"Well, this ain't a quick job, it's a war!"

―Rio Durant and Tobias Beckett during a firefight with the Mimbanese^[1]

The battle on Mimban^[4] was one of the bloodiest battles^[5] of the Imperial Military's Mimban Campaign. The engagement was also infiltrated by Beckett's gang in order to steal an Y-45 armored transport hauler for their planned heist on Vandor.^[1] One member of the gang, Korso, was killed.^[2] Charging back to Camp Forward under "Captain" Tobias Beckett's "command," the Corporal Han Solo took notice of the fact that the gang were not Imperial Army troopers.^[1] In his ensuing escape from Mimban,^[5] Solo teamed up with the imprisoned Wookiee Chewbacca to unite with the gang and escape the active warzone. Solo hoped to use his earnings from the heist with the gang to return to his homeworld Corellia and reunite with his lover Qi'ra, while Chewbacca hoped to find Wookiees from his tribe or family.^[1]

Aftermath[]

After escaping Mimban, Solo and Chewbacca traveled to the planet Vandor, where Beckett enlisted their services in stealing coaxium from an Imperial conveyx transport in order to pay his debts to Dryden Vos, the crime lord of the Crimson Dawn. Due to the interference of Enfys Nest and her Cloud-Riders, the heist failed and Val and Durant were killed in the process.^[1]

Punch-it-chewie-joe-corroney — After he left the Empire on Mimban, Solo had set the stage for the rest of his life.

Solo and Beckett managed to convince Dryden Vos to give them a second chance with the help of the crime lord's lieutenant Qi'ra, an old friend of Solo. After enlisting the services of Lando Calrissian and his ship the Millennium Falcon, Solo and his companions managed to steal coaxium from the Pyke Syndicate's mines on the planet Kessel.^[1]

After making the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, Han and his companions traveled to the planet Savareen to rendezvous with Dryden Vos. However, Enfys Nest and her Cloud-Riders convinced them not to give the coaxium to Vos. Despite Beckett's betrayal, Han and Qi'ra managed to defeat Vos and his Hylobon Enforcers. Beckett was later killed during a confrontation with Solo. Even though Qi'ra left him, Solo and Chewbacca left together,^[1] ultimately becoming smugglers^[6] and winning the Falcon from Calrissian.^[1]
