Rescue of Attichitcuk

Legends Linked from 7 articles

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Between 39 BBY and 36 BBY, the Wookiee colonists of the moon Alaris Prime rescued their chieftain, Attichitcuk, from the droid forces of the Trade Federation. At the time, the Wookiees were in competition with the Trade Federation for possession of Alaris Prime, and Attichitcuk had been injured and left for dead in an encounter with enemy Battle Droid Beta Versions.

Guided by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, Attichitcuk's son, Chewbacca, led a party of bowcaster troopers from a base to save his father, destroying battle droids commanded by DRN-38 along the way. After locating and reviving Attichitcuk, the party returned to the base and destroyed yet more droids, including three droidekas. Chewbacca then became leader of the colonists while his father recovered.
