Xandros

OnACanonArticle

"We could probably get another catalyzer from that scrap merchant, you know, the one on Xandros. That's on your way, isn't it?"
―Han Solo, to Chewbacca[2]

Xandros was a terrestrial astronomical object[2] located in the Xandros system within the Locris sector of the Expansion Region. It was situated in grid square O-8 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] A scrap merchant known to the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca worked on Xandros.[2]

In 4 ABY,[3] the Millennium Falcon, a YT-1300 light freighter owned by Solo and Chewbacca, broke down as Chewbacca was about to pilot Solo and Princess Leia Organa from[2] the Outer Rim[4] moon Endor to[2] the Core Worlds[4] planet Chandrila so the couple could have their honeymoon aboard the Star Cruiser Halcyon. In response, Solo suggested to the Wookiee that they head to Xandros to acquire a catalyzer from the scrap merchant, as it was on the way to Chandrila. Following this, they departed the moon and arrived at Chandrila the next day.[2]

Xandros was mentioned in The Princess and the Scoundrel, a 2022 novel written by Beth Revis.[2]
