* Happens over the course of the ''XWingSeries''. When Corran Horn is held captive in the Empire's most notorious prison, Lusankya, he befriends the old leader of the other prisoners, a man named Jan. Though Jan saves Corran's life during his escape attempt, Jan elects to stay behind and look after the others. Problem is, once Corran does come back with his squadron to free the rest of the prisoners, he discovers that the Empire had already relocated them to an unknown location - and that Jan was the legendary Rebel general at [[{{Film/StarWars}} the Battle of Yavin]], Jan Dodonna. It takes Corran ''years'' (thanks to distractions such as [[TheCourtshipOfPrincessLeia Warlord Zsinj]] and [[TheThrawnTrilogy Grand Admiral Thrawn]]) to make good on his promise, a task that involves faked deaths, alliances with old enemies, and an obsessive clone.
