"The wealthy leader of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate was extremely proud of his museum-grade collection of strange treasures from across the galaxy. Among his most prized possessions was a near-complete set of Mandalorian armor dating back to the age of the Old Republic; rare animals preserved in suspended animation; and an ark allegedly containing the ashes of Chancellor Contispex I."
―A book's entry on Dryden Vos' collection[2]

Contispex I was an individual that served as a chancellor who perished[3] by 10 BBY. That year,[1] Contispex's ashes were held in arks aboard the First Light, the personal star yacht of Crimson Dawn crime lord Dryden Vos.[3] Vos considered the arks among his most prized posessions. A book describing objects relating to galactic history included an entry on the Lost King of Duro's hand in Vos' collection, which also mentioned the ark containing Contispex's ashes.[2]

Behind the scenes

Contispex I's ashes first appeared in the 2018 anthology film, Solo: A Star Wars Story,[4] before being identified as Contispex I in the accompanying reference book, Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide, written by Pablo Hidalgo.[3] Supreme Chancellor Contispex I of the Galactic Republic was originally introduced in the Star Wars Legends continuity via the 2005 reference book The New Essential Chronology, written by Daniel Wallace and Kevin J. Anderson.[5] He was later identified as Contispex I by the 2012 reference book The Essential Guide to Warfare by Jason Fry and Paul R. Urquhart.[6]
