Hart - and - Parn Gorra - Fiolla Fiolla , more formally Hart - and - Parn Gorra - Fiolla of Lorrd , was an executive in the Corporate Sector Authority . She started off her career in the Authority on Etti IV while still a university student when she helped capture a fugitive holostar . Rising rapidly through the ranks , she soon achieved the rank of Assistant Auditor - General . In 2 BBY , Fiolla helped stop a slave ring on Bonadan after enlisting the aid of Han Solo , Chewbacca , and territorial manager Odumin . During this time , she struck up a brief relationship with Solo . After the successful completion of the mission , however , they parted ways , and Odumin promoted her to be his deputy . Fiolla ' s career in the CSA would later lead her to investigate the Prex ' s office after one of the Prex ' s assistants nearly killed her . Fiolla responded by launching an investigation into the office , intending to bring down Chils Meplin for espionage . By 0 ABY , Fiolla was a successful Auditor - General and owned her own business , Hart and Parn Starships , on Lorrd , though she spent most of her time working for the Corporate Sector Authority . Like all Lorrdians , Fiolla was an expert at gauging other peoples ' emotional state from minute details of their voice and their body language . She could also communicate using the Lorrdian system of kinetic communication , and was an expert mimic . However , unlike most CSA officials , Fiolla was an idealist who believed in the triumph of good . Biography . Early life and career . Fiolla grew up on Lorrd , born into a middle - class household . Her parents owned a landspeeder dealership and lived what was considered a fairly uneventful life . This did not suit the adventurous Fiolla , some of whose favorite childhood memories involved hearing stories of show business from her uncle Rewello , a comedian who had once performed for the Regent of Alderaan . Fiolla eventually enrolled at the University of Kalla , where she studied political science . During a holiday , she and her roommates randomly chose a location in the Galactic Empire to travel to , ending up on Etti IV . She enjoyed the shopping opportunities on the planet , but found that it too lacked the glamour she had been seeking . One night during their trip , she and her friends were flirting with other customers at a dance club when she noticed the famous holostar Rex Shaxrigge . Agreeing to meet her friends back at their hotel later , Fiolla ' s curiosity was piqued and she followed the holostar out the back of the club , hoping to meet the celebrity . To her surprise , Shaxrigge met an older woman , and Fiolla noticed from the woman ' s posture and appearance that she had a military background . She remained hidden until Shaxrigge pulled a vibro - shiv on the woman . Thinking quickly , Fiolla imitated the lines of one of the characters from Shaxrigge ' s holodramas , distracting him . She then grabbed a tray of drinks from a passing droid and upended it on the would - be assailant , which gave the woman , a detached agent for the Auditor - General ' s office , time enough to summon her Espo backup . The agent , Dagmar Vozda , was impressed by Fiolla ' s talents and quick thinking . Vozda explained to Fiolla that Shaxrigge had been romancing female executives in order to obtain industrial secrets . Vozda then offered a Fiolla a job with the CSA ' s law enforcement establishment as her assistant , and Fiolla accepted , elated at the new prospects . Not long after she started at her job , Vozda retired and Fiolla replaced her as a full agent . Within three years , she had been promoted to Assistant Auditor - General , which was considered rapid advancement through the ranks . As a native of Lorrd , whose population had once been enslaved , she retained a hatred of slavers . Her motivation to put an end to slavery would eventually lead her on a case to break a slavery ring in the Corporate Sector . Adventure with Solo . Investigation . In 2 BBY , Fiolla was on Bonadan investigating a ring of slavers . The investigation had started when her portable computer terminal had malfunctioned and she had borrowed her assistant ' s instead while performing an audit . By chance , using that terminal had unlocked information on a slaver ring within the Authority and an impending meeting between the slavers and Zlarb . Her assistant , Magg , had intercepted a message that gave her the location of the meeting and Fiolla decided to attend after ordering Magg to investigate the spacer who was ferrying Zlarb to Bonadan . She also ordered him to try and break into the spacecraft while sending a message that sent the spacer to an Authority hangar to keep him out of the way . That part of her plan did not succeed though . While Magg was investigating , Fiolla was waiting for a Zlarb to arrive at the meeting . However , instead of Zlarb , the spacer , named Han Solo , arrived at the meeting . Solo had previously killed Zlarb in an altercation on his ship , but the man had owed Solo ten thousand credits and Solo had set out for this meeting with the intent of collecting his credits . Zlarb ' s associate had different ideas , attacking Solo with a vibroblade . Fiolla attempted to shoot the assailant , but her blaster was inoperable . As the two fought , Fiolla grabbed a nearby swoop used by Zlarb ' s associate and ran the vibroblade - armed assailant over . With their attacker dead , Fiolla parked the swoop and attempted to figure out who this new person was , as she had originally thought that Solo was Zlarb . However , Fiolla and Solo did not even have time to introduce each other , much less discern the other ' s motives for involvement in the slaver affair before four more swoops came bearing down on them . Solo and Fiolla climbed aboard the swoop used by Zlarb ' s associate and roared away from their pursuers . Thanks to some reckless but skillful piloting by Solo through a canyon and a weather control station , they managed to lose the other four swoops . Returning to the main city , Fiolla and Solo went to a local tapcafe for a quiet conversation . Fiolla told Solo that she was investigating the slavers and wanted to recruit him to help her , knowing that she would be unable to rely on the local Espos for help as the slavers apparently had influence with them . Solo informed her that he was an independent spacer and that he just wanted to be paid , which she did not seem equipped to do . Furthermore , he had already been attacked previously while on Bonadan and was less than pleased about it . Fiolla seemed to be making little headway with the smuggler until his first mate Chewbacca arrived , literally toting a skip tracer named Spray . Spray had been trying to repossess Solo ' s ship , the " Millennium Falcon " for unpaid debts , much to the extreme displeasure of Solo . Fiolla , knowing that it would guarantee her Solo ' s aid in her investigation , paid off the skip - tracer for Solo , surprising him greatly . To add to her leverage , Fiolla told him that she would leave his name off of her report to the Board of Directors . Solo , with few other viable options , agreed to help her , despite the fact that he would have to bring Spray along with him . Acting on a lead from Solo that traced Zlarb ' s activities through an agency on Ammuud operated by the Mor Glayyd clan , Fiolla and Solo went to pick up her assistant Magg while Chewbacca , Spray , and Solo ' s droid Bollux returned to the " Millennium Falcon " to prepare for a trip to Ammuud . Pirate attack . The two returned to Fiolla ' s hotel room at the opulent Bonadan Imperial Hotel . However , upon arriving in her room , she found that both it and Magg ' s room had been ransacked . Solo quickly ordered her to grab whatever she needed so they could leave swiftly . Fiolla did so and the two departed , with Fiolla realizing that she couldn ' t report the incident to the Espos if she suspected their involvement . The two returned to the " Millennium Falcon " but found that it was being watched by several suspicious beings , including two of the swoop riders from earlier that day . As that avenue of reaching Ammuud was removed from them , Fiolla and Solo opted to take a passenger liner instead ; they would meet up with Chewbacca and the " Falcon " on Ammuud . Solo inconspicuously signaled the change of plans to his first mate and he and Fiolla boarded the shuttle that would ferry them up to a waiting ship to Ammuud . Fiolla , flush with Authority credits for her expenditures , paid for the tickets , though Solo told her to use currency rather than vouchers , as it was less traceable . His revelation that her missing assistant might be dead or captured did little to assuage her fears . However , Fiolla ' s string of bad luck continued as their shuttle suffered mechanical delays and missed connecting with the ship that would have taken them to Ammuud . With no other option , Fiolla and her irritated Corellian partner were forced to take a much slower tour ship , the " Lady of Mindor " . She did enjoy her time on the ship , particularly when spent in the company of Solo , though to his annoyance , she kept her stateroom door locked when she was sleeping . Solo offered to recoup some financial losses via his gambling skills , but Fiolla refused to provide him with the stake he would need . While they were walking along the ship ' s promenade , the " Lady of Mindor " dropped out of hyperspace and immediately came under attack by pirates . Fiolla and Solo immediately made a run for it ; as Fiolla still retained her hard currency on her person , there was no need to retrieve anything from their quarters . Despite the unsuitability of her formal shimmersilk dress for quick flight , the two made their way towards the escape pods . As the captain of the " Lady of Mindor " had surrendered the vessel , the pods were disabled . Solo found an unmanned laser cannon turret and was preparing to fire on a pirate boarding craft , much to Fiolla ' s displeasure , when the Corellian came up with a different idea . Evading boarding parties sent by the pirates , Solo led the thoroughly unhappy Fiolla down through a series of service corridors . Fiolla failed to see the point of this dirty , hot , and uncomfortable journey and accordingly provided her opinions to Solo . In response , Solo informed her that the pirates were likely after them instead and that mollified her somewhat . After traversing the length of the entire vessel , Solo brought Fiolla back to the airlock where the pirate craft had boarded , intent on capturing it and using it to escape the " Lady of Mindor . " Sending up Fiolla first to pose as a scared passenger , Solo ambushed the lone guard who came to investigate the terrified young woman in the utility locker . After Solo knocked the guard out and seized his weapon and armor , Fiolla and Han Solo boarded the pirate craft , heading for its rack of escape pods . En route , they were confronted by a pair of pirates . Solo fired his captured weapon , a flechette launcher , at the pair , and while the light antipersonnel rounds were of little use against armored pirates , they were enough to buy time for their escape in a ship ' s lifeboat . Solo grabbed Fiolla and pulled her to safety ; the identity of one of the pirates had completely shocked her : her assistant Magg , who had been part of the slaver ring the entire time . Mor Glayyd . Landing on Ammuud ' s well - defended spaceport , Fiolla pretended to be attached to Solo in order to help assuage the suspicions of the port security officials , who were made up of members from several different clans . With her bedraggled appearance and ragged dress , Fiolla ' s presence did much to convince the guards of their plight . Fiolla and Solo , revealing that they had business with the Mor Glayyd , the head of the Glayyd clan , were conducted off to the Glayyd clan estates , though not before Solo ' s droid Bollux was able to meet up with them . Bollux informed them that Chewbacca and Spray had set the " Millennium Falcon " down in the hills and were repairing damage from a bomb that had been placed on the ship . Between information they gleaned from Bollux and the port security guards from the Glayyd clan , Fiolla learned that the patriarch of the clan was going to fight a death - duel with an offworlder as demanded by Ammuud ' s social honor code . Realizing that they could not afford to allow their source of information to be killed , they hurried over to the Glayyd holdings in an attempt to meet with the patriarch before he entered the duel , though they left Bollux to return to the " Falcon " to apprise Chewbacca of the situation . At the Glayyd stronghold , Fiolla and Solo met the Mor Glayyd ' s sister Ido , who informed that the death - duel was over an insult and a physical blow she had received from an offworlder , who had turned out to be the famous gunman Gallandro . Fiolla , recognizing the name , revealed to Solo that Gallandro was a special operative of the territorial manager Odumin . Furthermore , she told him that he needed to take the Mor Glayyd ' s place in the duel , counting on the fact that Gallandro would back down once he found that it was not the Mor Glayyd participating in the death match . Solo was extremely displeased with this idea , but he had no other choice , and he did agree that , since the duel appeared to be a plot to kill the Mor Glayyd , Gallandro would withdraw . As the Mor Glayyd prepared to meet Gallandro , the unhappy Corellian hastily took his place , knowing that it was his only chance to stop the slaver ring and even have a chance of recouping the ten thousand credits owed him . As Fiolla had predicted , Gallandro did indeed back down from the duel , but Solo made several caustic remarks about the gunman . Fiolla chided Solo for his brashness and after seeing Gallandro ' s speed and accuracy when the other gunfighter fired at several practice targets , Solo was inclined to agree with her . After Gallandro left , Fiolla and Solo were able to discuss matters with the Mor Glayyd regarding his associations with Zlarb . Though the clan head was originally unwilling to reveal his connections , Han ' s mention that Zlarb was a poisoner was able to garner more information ; the previous Mor Glayyd had died of poisoning recently and the late Zlarb had been a Malkite Poisoner . After the connection between them was revealed , the Glayyds were more forthcoming . With a data plaque , spare parts to repair the " Millennium Falcon " , and a fresh change of clothes to replace Fiolla ' s torn dress , Fiolla and Solo returned to the grounded freighter , locating its landing area in the remote mountains . Upon seeing the names of the Authority officials on the data plaque , Fiolla was incensed by the corruption . As Han set their borrowed lifeboat down near the " Falcon " and commenced the nearly - complete repairs with the aid of Chewbacca and Bollux , three unknown vessels were detected . A quick check by Solo revealed that the lifeboat ' s transceiver had been rigged to send out a constant transmission . Solo immediately suspected Fiolla , who denied the accusation . Pursuit and rescue . The entire party boarded the " Millennium Falcon " and took off . Due to his suspicion of her , Solo placed Fiolla in the forward compartment being observed by Bollux while Spray flew the ship . In order to shake off their pursuit , Solo and Chewbacca manned the quad laser cannon turrets . The two spacers were able to defeat the three smaller ships , but soon they were chased by a much larger vessel — the slaver vessel that had attacked the " Lady of Mindor . " The " Millennium Falcon " attempted to escape , but was caught in a tractor beam and slowly reeled in , despite the efforts of its crew . An unpleasant fate at the hands of Magg and the other slavers on the vessel was averted when an Espo " Victory " - class Star Destroyer arrived and turned its own tractor beams on the two ships . The slaver vessel tried to fire on the destroyer and received a turbolaser barrage to its main power plant in return , eliminating any further resistance . Spray , in the mean time , had returned to the tech station where Fiolla was to examine the damage done to the " Falcon " by the slaver vessel . As he worked , Fiolla noticed him scratching his hands , as he had been doing previously , and realized that he had been the person who had attacked Solo back on Bonadan ; Solo had told her that he had bitten his assailant ' s hand . Fiolla realized that Spray had been manipulating the two spacers the entire time , but the skip - tracer responded calmly , informing her that her career was at a critical juncture and advising her to cooperate with him . As the " Millennium Falcon " was hauled into the hangar bay of the Espo destroyer , they were met by Gallandro , who ordered them out of the freighter . Fiolla , along with the others , disembarked from the " Millennium Falcon " , where Spray revealed that he was Territorial Manager Odumin and Gallandro had been his assistant . As Odumin revealed how he had been controlling the whole situation and using Solo in order to draw out and break the slaver ring , Solo and his partner were thoroughly infuriated . Odumin also noted Fiolla ' s dedication , ambition , and loyalty , stating that the aftermath of the investigation would leave her an opening to advance rapidly to deputy territorial manager . At that point , Odumin ordered Gallandro to take the two spacers into custody for crimes committed . Gallandro replied that he would do so after Solo and Chewbacca flew the " Millennium Falcon " back to port on Ammuud , clearly intending to have a blaster duel rematch against Solo . Odumin consented , reminding Gallandro to recover the data plaque from Solo . During this entire ordeal , Fiolla stood by quietly , refusing to meet Solo ' s eyes , as she knew that her position was on the line . However , what neither Odumin nor Gallandro knew was that Fiolla had rigged Zlarb ' s security case , which held the data plaque , to emit a powerful electrical surge if the safety was released . Solo used this to his advantage to paralyze both himself and Gallandro while giving Gallandro the case . Chewbacca then arrived and tied up Gallandro . With the " Falcon " still in the hangar of the Star Destroyer , Solo quickly noticed that Fiolla and Spray were still in the vicinity , having just climbed into a safety cage that would take them back into the destroyer . Acting swiftly , Solo slipped the cage off of the hoist with Fiolla and Spray inside it . He hooked the cage and its hostages onto the " Falcon " forward cargo mandible , and soared out of the hangar bay . With the status quo suddenly altered in favor of the two smugglers , Solo ordered Gallandro to discuss some terms for the return of his hostages — namely , his unconditional release and the ten thousand credits he was owed . Then , looking at the cage where Fiolla and Odumin were hanging in space , Solo indicated his gratitude and appreciation for her actions in a way that only she would notice due to her talents in kinetic communication . Fiolla was amused by his response , and Fiolla stayed with Solo for some time afterwards . This was ostensibly to ensure the Authority kept its word , but Solo ' s reasons for retaining her were of a more personal nature . Fiolla stayed with Solo for some time afterwards , but when he prepared to leave the Corporate Sector , she returned to her job , knowing that her work and a promotion were awaiting her . Later career . In 0 ABY , as an Auditor - General , Fiolla was sent to recover a prisoner named Naven Crel from Commex and bring him back to Direx . Crel had been charged with industrial sabotage and Direx wanted to put him on trial rather than having Commex simply execute him . The mission was long and exhausting , with Fiolla having to go thirty hours without sleep and with her fuel and power cells nearly exhausted . Departing the world of Ulicia with her prisoner on her ship , the " Tydia Rish " , Fiolla was en route to deliver her charge when she received a new message from the office of the Prex . The message contained a new assignment for her , and was assigned a priority X , which gave her no choice but to immediately depart on the new mission , with Crel in tow . Informed of the destruction of the first Death Star by the Rebel Alliance by the message , Fiolla ' s orders were to investigate a Rebel cell in the Abo Dreth system . As the " Tydia Rish " jumped into hyperspace , Fiolla fell asleep in the cockpit and awoke to find Crel had escaped from his binders and was holding her blaster on her . She quickly threw the ship into rapid deceleration , knocking Crel over , and retrieved her blaster . After re - securing her prisoner , she set the " Tydia Rish " down on Abo Dreth near where her life - sign indicator had revealed a presence . Bringing Crel along with her , she and Crel donned breath masks against the atmosphere . While surveying the area around her landing zone , she was surprised by another woman pointing a sporting blaster at her . The woman revealed that she was Akeeli Somerce , the assistant to the Prex , and that she was here to kill Fiolla and her prisoner . The two of them had too much information on the Prex ' s illegal leaking of CSA information to the Empire , and the Prex , Chils Meplin , had sent the Priority X message to Fiolla to lure her and Crel to where they could be discreetly killed . Noting that Crel had once again managed to work his way out of his binders , Fiolla stalled Somerce long enough to allow Crel to draw her blaster and fire upon the other woman just as Somerce opened fire . While Fiolla managed to leap out of the way of the blaster bolts , both Somerce and Crel were hit . Before he died , Crel revealed that he was an undercover Auditor - General and ordered her to get Meplin , which Fiolla readily vowed to do . Around the same time , Fiolla also invested money into a family landspeeder business on Lorrd in the city of Qatamer , Hart and Parn Starships . She had little interest in running the establishment , but invested some of her money from her Auditor - General ' s position into the business , expanding its merchandise into starship sales and repair . However , she continued to refuse to become involved in any kind of direct dealings with the Rebellion . Also in 0 ABY , her old flame Han Solo , now himself a member of the Rebellion , brought fugitives from the Empire , Zak and Tash Arranda , as well as the shapeshifter Mammon Hoole , to Hart and Parn Starships to obtain repairs for their ship , the " Shroud " . Fiolla was not present when they arrived , as she was conducting an audit on Daermor , which annoyed Solo , who did not trust her associates . Fiolla calmed him down , arranging for him and his party to stay with a friend of hers , Governor Zenobia le Ingiana of Kinyov , who was both a high - ranking official and more sympathetic to the Rebellion than she was . She also allowed both the Arranda children to look around her store , provided they didn ' t break anything . The two Arrandas would later uncover a pair of Imperial spies trying to unleash a buried weapon on Lorrd , however , they were able to foil the scheme and escaped with the aid of a former actor named Garik Loran , who borrowed and subsequently damaged an R - 22 Spearhead starfighter from Fiolla ' s lot for the escape attempt . After the incident , Loran hoped that Fiolla would sell him the craft . By 10 ABY , Fiolla still held the rank of Auditor - General . Personality and traits . Fiolla was an adventurous woman who enjoyed excitement and disliked the banality of a normal life . She was also ambitious , hard - working , and loyal to the Corporate Sector Authority , fully believing that she could bring about needed reform to the organization . Unlike many other employees of the CSA , Fiolla was an idealist who was wanted to do the right thing . She even discreetly helped Han Solo take her and Odumin hostage so that the smuggler would be able to escape the consequences of CSA litigation ; Fiolla felt that Solo ' s previous aid to her investigation was more than recompense for their freedom , and she had enjoyed Solo ' s company . Fiolla detested slavers and slavery , a part of her Lorrdian heritage . To her associates and companions , Fiolla also was known for her quick thinking , her wry sense of humor , and keen observation , though Han Solo noted that she could also be naïve , as Fiolla often refused to suspect malicious intentions on the part of others . Still , she was practical and generally well - prepared , such as constantly keeping her cash money on her person in case of quick flight . Skills and abilities . Thanks to her Lorrdian upbringing , Fiolla was able to detect the slightest kinetic motion , such as body language , and imitate it . As such , she was an accomplished mimic . This skill would help her gain her entry into CSA employment . She was also versed in the use of a blaster . She would use her abilities when negotiating , as she could infer much of the other party ' s intentions from their body language and tone . While she was not an accomplished pilot during her investigations into Zlarb ' s slaver ring , Fiolla would later acquire her own vessel for use in her investigations , which she piloted herself . Fiolla was trained in a number of disciplines according to her law enforcement background , including swimming , first aid , computer programming , demolitions , vehicle piloting and repair , lock picking , forgery , pick - pocketing , negotiation skills , and melee and unarmed combat . Relationships . Han Solo . During her investigation into the slaver ring operating in the Corporate Sector , Fiolla found herself slowly growing attracted to Han Solo . Solo , impressed by her beauty , talents , and quick thinking was equally if not more attracted to her . After Solo negotiated his release from the Corporate Sector and the slaver ring was broken , Fiolla spent some time with the Corellian . While they enjoyed each other ' s company , she knew that her job back in the Corporate Sector awaited her , so when he left the Corporate Sector , she returned to her position . Behind the scenes . Fiolla was first created by Brian Daley for " Han Solo ' s Revenge " and her backstory was later expanded in " Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook " . Though her hair color has been described as black in nearly all of the stories in which she appears , Dave Dorman ' s art for the cover of the 1997 re - issue of " Han Solo ' s Revenge " depicted Fiolla with golden hair . This discrepancy has not been addressed by Lucasfilm Ltd . authorities .
