Alexsandr Badure

Alexsandr Badure, also known by the nickname Trooper, was a former Imperial naval officer who in 2 BBY played a key role in the discovery of the fabled treasure of the Queen of Ranroon, the long-lost treasure ship of Xim the Despot. Once a flight instructor at the Academy of Carida, Badure was an early mentor of the future smuggler Han Solo, teaching the Corellian much of what he knew about flying and giving him the nickname "Slick."

After leaving the Imperial military, Badure fell on hard times before finding a clue to the location of the Queen of Ranroon, believing it to be somewhere on the planet Dellalt. Along with a young woman named Hasti Troujow, whom he met at a mining camp on Dellalt and with whom he shared a parental bond, Badure enlisted the help of his old friend Solo and Solo's first mate Chewbacca to uncover the treasure. After a perilous search, they eventually uncovered the haul of the Queen of Ranroon within's Xim's ancient treasure vaults, ultimately finding it to be stacks of war materiel that held little value in the present day.
