"After I lost Chewie, I hired a slicer to hack the Empire's networks, see if I could find out anything. While in there, she did me a favor and 'updated' their records on me and the Falcon. I'm listed as dead, and this ship is listed as having gone kaboom."
―Han Solo to New Republic operative Norra Wexley[1]

In 5 ABY,[2] a slicer was hired by former New Republic general Han Solo to slice into the networks of the Galactic Empire. Solo was searching for information on his Wookiee co-pilot Chewbacca, who had gone missing during a failed attempt to liberate the planet Kashyyyk from Imperial control. As a favor to Solo, the slicer also modified the Imperial records so that they listed Solo as dead and his ship, the Millennium Falcon, as having been destroyed.[1]

Behind the scenes

The slicer was mentioned in Aftermath: Life Debt, a 2016 novel written by Chuck Wendig as the second installment in Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy.[1]
