Crimson Jack's crew

Legends Canon version → Linked from 12 articles

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

During the era of the Galactic Civil War, the Pirate Master Crimson Jack led a gang that became notorious on the starlanes of the Outer Rim. Originally a group of bandits that robbed spice caravans on the galactic frontier, the gang came into possession of a damaged Imperial Star Destroyer after the Battle of Toprawa, which allowed the outfit to take its operation to new heights.

In 0 ABY, the gang captured and imprisoned notorious smuggler and Rebel hero Han Solo, who promised to lead the gang to a lucrative Rebel treasury on Drexel. However, Solo and his friends slipped away from the battlecruiser once they reached the Drexel system, leading to a heated battle. During a dogfight between Jack's starfighters and Solo's Millennium Falcon, Jack abandoned his right-hand woman, Jolli, after her Y-wing was grievously damaged. Infuriated by his betrayal, Jolli flew her disintegrating craft on a suicide run into the cruiser's munitions deck, causing an explosion that annihilated Jack's operation. In the chaos, Solo shot and killed Jack, bringing an end to him and his gang.
