Corellian Crisis The Corellian Crisis , alternatively known as the Corellian Insurrection , the Corellian Incident , the Centerpoint Station crisis , and the Starbuster Plot , was the period in 18 ABY when the Sacorria n Triad attempted to seize control of the Corellian sector , secede from the New Republic and force the galaxy under their will . A series of insurrections throughout the Five Brothers — Corellia , Selonia , Drall and the Double Worlds of Talus and Tralus — and a superweapon in Centerpoint Station would allow the Triad to carve out their own miniature empire . Origins . Corellia and her four sister worlds had once been a vibrant display of multicultural Core Worlds ideals . Corellia itself maintained a major role in the foundations of the Rebel Alliance thanks to the actions of those such as Garm Bel Iblis , Han Solo , and Wedge Antilles , and was famous throughout the galaxy for the system ' s shipyards and the Corellian Engineering Corporation . However , after the Battle of Endor , the Corellian system began to quake under the pressure of change . Six months following the death of Emperor Palpatine , Imperial Grand Admiral ' s Danetta Pitta and Josef Grunger both had their eyes on Corellia . Pitta had bribed the Diktat , a ' traditional ' Corellian leader instituted by the Emperor , to his side , and thus the two greedy warlords met in a massive clash above Tralus — which ironically annihilated both of them , including Pitta ' s Torpedo Sphere and Grunger ' s Star Dreadnought " Aggressor " . Their conflict put Corellia on the slow plunge of change , and after two Diktats , Corellia fell into the hands of the New Republic . Corellia became isolated from the rest of the galaxy , its two lucrative trade routes drew in far less income and businesses located elsewhere . The populace lost its fire , and the Sacorrian Triad took advantage of the situation , funding resistance groups throughout the Five Brothers such as the Human League on Corellia , led by Thrackan Sal - Solo — cousin of Han Solo . During this time , the Triad had also managed to draw together a sizable fleet . Corellia was represented by the New Republic Senate by only one member , to the protests of some of the native Drall and Selonian s . By 18 ABY , the Corellian Sector was governed by Frozian Governor - General Micamberlecto , but was seen by the natives as little more than an ineffectual figurehead . While the dust of the defeated Empire settled , Chief of State Leia Organa Solo announced a major trade conference on Corellia , the President of the Senate determined to bring Corellia back to its previous state . However , sinister forces were at work , and Organa Solo and her family were headed just where the Triad wanted her . New Republic Intelligence Service remained wary of Corellia , maintaining that the situation at Corellia was unstable . Lieutenant Belindi Kalenda attempted to explicitly warn Han Solo and Chewbacca not to travel to Corellia — or at least not take his children . Untrusting , Solo refused to take her advice , seeing the trip as a family holiday . A few days later , the " Millennium Falcon " departed , carrying the Chief of State , Solo , Chewbacca , and the children — Jacen , Jaina and the youngest , Anakin Solo . Agent Kalenda arrived at Corellia prior to the Solo ' s — and was abruptly shot down by Public Safety Service ships . Kalenda barely survived the crash , and was determined to reach Coronet before Organa Solo arrived . Pharnis Gleasry , Human League agent , watched the " Falcon " take off , Organa Solo hanging a new lightsaber to her belt , as a gift from her brother , Luke Skywalker . Summit and interdiction . The " Millennium Falcon " arrived in the Corellian system relatively peacefully , despite an altercation with a group of " Uglies " and automated Public Safety Service ships . The Solo family decide to settle in with Governor - General Micamberlecto , and hired a Drall tutor , Ebrihim , as well as his droid , Q9 - X2 to watch over their children . Meanwhile , Mara Jade , on her way to the trade summit herself , received a timed message addressed to the Chief of State near Talfaglio . Learning the planet was nearing total economic collapse , Captain Solo ' s trip through Coronet ended with him being left beaten on the Governor General ' s doorstep . Ebrihim took the family on a tour of an ' archaeological dig ' in which Anakin Solo located a massive underground installation . Meanwhile , Luke Skywalker , who was off assisting Lando Calrissian on a ' wife hunt ' , ironically landed in the Outlier Worlds of the Corellian sector — at Sacorria . Despite Calrissian meeting Tendra Risant , the Triad chased the duo and their droids off the planet — much to their confusion . The Chief of State ' s trade summit began , but , much to her disappointment , it lacked a sizable portion of delegates — many of them had been scared off by the PSS or the current Corellian situation . Solo then met up with Lt . Kalenda , the two both realizing that the situation was only getting worse . Mara Jade gave Organa Solo a message — a holocube , showing a circle of stars with affixed dates , and an image of one star ' s destruction — in other words , time was ticking and a halo of stars were going to explode if the President did not do what the messenger said . Punctually , the leader of the mysterious Human League and the other rebel groups — the Overden on Selonia , the Drallist s on Drall and the Federation of the Double Worlds for Talus and Tralus — made their move . Chaos ruled the streets as race riots broke out . Coronet House , Micamberlecto ' s residence , lost all communications . Finally , the Human League bombed Coronet House in a raid that destroyed the Governor - General ' s residence . Han and Leia ordered Chewbacca and the Drall to take the children away , the Falcon hotly pursued by Human League and PSS starfighters . However , in a move not predicted by the Sacorrian Triad , Thrackan Sal - Solo , the " Hidden Leader " of the Human League , declared himself Diktat of the Corellian System and declared the system ' s secession from the New Republic . He also used Centerpoint ' s power to jam all system - wide communications , and demanded that all nonhuman races are to leave the system within a month , or he would vaporize a wide variety of New Republic planets . This would become known as the Starbuster Plot . Han Solo sneaked the message to Lt . Kalenda , and aided her to escape the system just before a massive system - wide interdiction field rose . However , Han was captured by Human League thugs in the process . Kalenda escaped . Skywalker and Calrissian , on their way to Corellia themselves , were locked out . The Chief of State was trapped in the ruins of Coronet House and the Republic was in awe of the massive interdiction field — and with the fleet mostly in drydock and unable to jump in , help was not on the way . Call for help . Luke and Lando arrived back at Coruscant and were immediately shuttled to an NRI safehouse by Captain Showolter . The two met with Mon Mothma and Admiral Gial Ackbar , both of whom discussing that the New Republic was amassing a strike force . Unfortunately , due to fleet disposition and the lull in Imperial activity , the fleet was mostly in drydock . Mothma however , knew where the Republic could obtain a fleet capable of bypassing the interdiction field — Bakura . In addition to this news , Nosaurian and Corellian sector world New Plympto also announced their secession from the New Republic , becoming a hive of activity for the newly formed Diversity Alliance . Gaeriel Captison , one of Skywalker ' s long lost loves , and the former Prime Minister of Bakura , conceded and convinced the Bakuran Senate that the Jedi Knight could borrow their four - ship fleet , designed to defend against Ssi - ruu vi attacks . The four warships — light cruiser " Intruder " and Bakura - class destroyer s " Sentinel " , " Defender " and " Watchkeeper " — were all equipped with HIMS technology . HIMS created a ' bubble ' in hyperspace that would allow the momentum in hyperspace to be sustained through an interdiction field . Commanded by Admiral Hortel Ossilege , the fleet set out for Corellia . Diversions and explosions . In the havoc - ridden Corellian system , Han Solo was imprisoned with the Selonian Dracmus , and forced to fight the female Selonian for his cousin Thrackan ' s amusement . Fortunately , the two managed to escape to Selonia , hoping to convince the Overden to change their minds . Meanwhile in the Corellian capitol , the Chief of State , trapped with the dead Governor - General , plotted with fellow prisoner and suspect Mara Jade to escape Coronet House . With the help of Jade ' s ship , " Jade ' s Fire " and their own ingenious plan , the two successfully decided to retreat to Selonia , hoping her children were safe with Chewbacca . Chewbacca and Ebrihim arrived on Drall and hid with his Aunt Marcha , a noble of some sort on the planet . Trying to put a positive spin on it , Ebrihim learned of an archaeological dig on the planet — mysteriously , like every other planet in the system . Investigating , the children discovered a massive repulsor — one capable of propelling a planet . It became increasingly clear to the Drall team that there were sinister forces at work . During this time , the Bakuran fleet arrived , with the " Watchkeeper " sustaining some damage in the interdiction field . Three days out from Corellia , they decided to launch a diversion by attacking the Triad at Selonia . As the assault force attacked under Admiral Ossilege ' s wise leadership , battering countless Triad starfighters , Selonia fired its own planetary repulsor — snapping the " Watchkeeper " in half . Realizing that the entire system was under the control of an unknown force , the horrified Bakurans retreated further back into the Corellian system . Thanta Zilbra was a small world located far out of reach of Corellia . Following Belindi Kalenda ' s report of the starbuster plot to Admiral Ackbar , General Wedge Antilles was deployed to the planet to coordinate a planetary evacuation . Only a very small percent of the hundreds of thousands of citizens of the small world were evacuated , as many did not believe the Republic ' s claim . Centerpoint Station then emitted a huge blast , completely annihilating the planet while the horrified Republic could only watch . The threat was serious now , and the Republic was desperate to bring the Insurrection to an end . Worse yet was the Starbuster ' s next target , a planet with millions of inhabitants . Centerpoint . If anything was the key to the Sacorrian Triad ' s conspiracy , it was Centerpoint Station . The Bakurans and their allies realized that Centerpoint Station was worth investigating as a possible headquarters or cause of the Starbuster or insurrectionists . Now three vessels and a wreck strong , Ossilege ' s fleet finally approached the station . Skywalker , Calrissian , Kalenda , Gaeriel and R2 - D2 and C - 3PO boarded the station , running into the only inhabitant of the station at present — Jenica Sonsen . Sonsen was not aware of the Starbuster plot , only of the station ' s constant flares . These ' flares ' had decimated the station ' s population , and Calrissian put two and two together — the Station was the Starbuster . And it was about to go off . On Drall , Anakin Solo managed to find the control center for the Drall repulsor , until a Human League team arrived to arrest them . The children , Ebrihim , Marcha and Chewbacca were imprisoned in a cell , Thrackan personally coming to take care of them and give Leia Organa Solo a special message . On Selonia , the situation was just as grim , with Leia , Mara and Han attempting to convince the Selonians to change their mind — and they too were imprisoned for a short time . Sinisterly , Thrackan dropped the jamming field long enough to show Organa Solo a hologram of him with her children in custody — to the immense outrage of the Selonians . The Overden immediately released the three as Luke Skywalker arrived , the group planning a course of action . Q9 - X2 , the heavily modified droid of Ebrihim ' s , worked on his own initiative to drop the energy field holding the children in place . The three youngsters boarded the " Millennium Falcon " and managed to remarkably , hold Sal - Solo off long enough for the Bakuran fleet to rescue the children and capture the self - proclaimed Diktat . The Bakuran team seized the Drall repulsor , as the Heroes of Yavin decided that the repulsors were the key to stopping the Starbuster . They believed the repulsors could deflect the weapon . The Sacorrian Triad had had enough . Some 80 warships , mainly robotic and including Robot Ramship s , arrived to defend Centerpoint Station . The Battle of Centerpoint Station began , and the three Bakuran warships put up a heavy defense as Anakin Solo frantically tried to get the Drall repulsor online . As the Bakurans were overwhelmed , Captison and Ossilege knew the " Intruder " had been overwhelmed and was doomed after it was hit by four robot ramships , critically injuring both Captison and Ossilege . Tragically , the two initiated a self - destruct , carving a huge hole in the Sacorrian fleet . As Centerpoint opened fire , the Drall repulsor activated just in time . The young Jedi Solo was successful , Centerpoint dramatically shutting down . Minutes later , Ackbar arrived with a sizable Republic war fleet , and the Triad surrendered . Bovo Yagen , the targeted system with millions of inhabitants , had been rescued , and the rebel groups collapsed . Aftermath . Despite the Republic ' s actions , many Corellians felt sympathetic to the cause of the Sacorrian Triad . And also despite Leia Organa Solo ' s brave actions throughout the crisis , the Senate entered a new phase of criticism for her letting the Insurrection get as far as it did , many seeking to oust her from her position . After the no - confidence votes during the Black Fleet Crisis and Almanian Uprising , Leia requested an indefinite leave of absence from the Presidency , and Calibop Ponc Gavrisom was elected as caretaker . Agent Belindi Kalenda would rapidly shoot through the ranks of the NRI following her role in the conspiracy . Positively , Sal - Solo was thrown into Sacorria ' s infamous Dorthus Tal prison for his crimes , and Marcha was elected the new Governor General of the Corellian sector . New Plympto would reluctantly rejoin the Republic , for fear of facing total economic ruin , but still remained highly anti - Human . Centerpoint Station was deemed permanently disabled , with scientists hypothesizing that Anakin Solo had an innate connection with the Corellian repulsor and Starbuster system . This would prove to be true in the Yuuzhan Vong War . Many years later , the Corellian Crisis and Sal - Solo ' s establishment of the Centerpoint Party during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion would prove to be the unfortunate catalyst for the Second Galactic Civil War of 40 ABY , where the Galactic Alliance would be forced to strike Corellia to subdue yet another uprising , which caused the galactic scale war .
