Berethron e Solo was a King of Corellia. During Solo reign, he initiated democratic reforms in the Corellian empire.
Biography
In 312 BBY, he abolished his absolute rule and moved the planetary government toward a constitutional monarchy.
Legacy
Han Solo and his cousin Thrackan Sal-Solo were both thought to be Berethron's descendants. In 8 ABY, C-3PO invoked that lineage to prove Solo's worthiness to marry Leia Organa before the Hapan Royal House. Han's great-grandfather, Korol Solo, was a presumed descendant of Berethron, and used that to put a forward a claim as pretender to the throne of the Corellian empire, but was hanged for his crimes.
