- "I've been accused of being many things in my long life, Ichi Go: Both pessimistic and optimistic, turning both dark and light, acting both foolhardy and sage, but being a cryptic Force ghost is not one of those. I'm actually a pretty straightforward guy...once you get past those pesky paradoxes."

Nathaniel Kenobi Solo or as he was less commonly known as, Nathaniel Kenobi Solo Clan Fett, was a male Human/Zeltron Jedi. His mother was Abigaile Kenobi and his father's name was Nat-ahn Mandrex, a Clawdite Dark Jedi. His mother did not know of a father, because he had seduced her and used a special plant to make her forget everything.
After the death of his mother on Jomark, Nathan was adopted into the House of Solo. There, he met his future wife, Jaina Solo, and grew in his knowledge of the Force and everyday experiences. After joining the Jedi Academy at the age of eight, he was given his grandfather's holocron, which would later tell him during the Yuuzhan Vong War the mysteries of his past and of the people he was ordained to save.
After finding and killing his father, who had been the threat he was supposed to remove, he became an honorary member of the Novus Kamino Prime Jedi Knights. Through the help of the Ottiumigos Centrality, he was able to save the Galactic Alliance from losing the last battle of the Yuuzhan Vong War and married Jaina. Over the next couple of years, he had children and began to help the Jedi Order police the Galaxy.
After the introduction of the Sith Order of Decreto, Nathan's life as a family man was almost torn asunder when his wife died. Despondent, he went to his honorary home of Novus Kamino Prime and remained there until the war came back to haunt him. Banding together with survivors just like him, he helped to form the Scourges of Those Bad Guy People and the Galactic Commonwealth.
Unfortunately, the Sith would eventually make Nathan lose his life, or so it seemed. Thanks to the help of loyal allies, Nathan was placed into cryostasis, to remain there until he was needed again by the Galaxy. Although he sporadically came out to help several different problems, Nathan remained in cryostasis until the Reaver War.
Helping to lead the Jedi to a temporary victory, he was able to save the remnants of the Fifth Republic, find new love, and protect his descendants. Unfortunately, Nathan died as a result of leading Sith Lord Darth Aemulus back to the light. But even in death, Nathan was useful, helping to lead his family to a brighter tomorrow.
[edit] Biography
[edit] Birth to Adoption
Nathan grew up in the Unknown Regions, and was immediately taught everything his mother could think of. She had taught him how to duel with a lightsaber at the age of two. She also taught him about his grandfather, Nathaniel Kenobi, and all that he had passed on to her.
When he was two years old, his mother received a vision from Nathan's grandfather, which told her that it was time to return to Known Space. She did so and was prompted to go to the planet Jomark. While here, she encountered Luke Skywalker and the insane clone, Joruus C'baoth. She defended Luke and Nathan from him, but was fatally injured. With her dying breath, she asked Luke to give her son to someone who can take care of him and to give him her father's holocron when the time was right.
Nowhere close to being ready to be a father, Luke gave Nathan to his twin sister Leia and her husband Han, who had just conceived the twins, Jaina Solo and Jacen Solo. He was adopted into the House of Solo and added it to his already long name.
Raised by the two, Nathan was given a father figure for the first time in his life. His new mother also provided some solace whenever he remembered the death of his mother. Thankfully, the Force ghost of his mother came to him one day and told him that she was in a better place and that he would be fine.
[edit] Early Adventures
When he was three years old, the resurrected Emperor Palpatine, had captured his Uncle Luke, and his new parents. Deciding that he needed to help, but not knowing how, he managed to sneak aboard an X-wing and waited for the pilot to fly the starfighter towards his parents. He was actually more of a hindrance than a help, and Palpatine sensed that he held even more power than Anakin did, so intended to use Nathan as the next host of his body.
Han, Leia, and Luke were able to prevent this, however, as Han had shot him in the back. He left his intentions for Nathan behind, as Anakin was closer to him, and attempted to put his spirit into the young Solo, but was intercepted by Empatojayos Brand, who was about to die anyways. Palpatine's spirit was finally put to rest and the Jedi were safe again.
During the period in which Luke Skywalker's body had been put into stasis by the Sith Lord Exar Kun, he helped Jacen save Luke's physical body from being destroyed by Exar Kun's creatures. When Jaina, Anakin, and Jacen were kidnapped by Hethrir, he helped his adopted mother to find them.
He also helped Jaden Korr and Chewbacca during the Mission to Mos Eisley and helped Jaden again during the Mission to Chandrila. Both times he had stowed away to help Jaden, feeling that it was the right thing to do. Both times Luke reprimanded him, trying to teach him the importance of listening to people in leadership positions, he never forgot it, except, he never listened to it.
[edit] Jedi Academy
Two years older than his adopted siblings, he started at the Jedi Academy before them. There he learned of the Jedi and the Sith. He also had learned that the dark side was something that could be used for good, as long as the person who wielded it, was in the right state. During this time, he became adept at Form X, just like his grandfather before him.
Here he received his grandfather's holocron for the first time, but it would not open nor would it give any information at all. He toyed with it for a while and never gave up, but he would have to wait for the Yuuzhan Vong War first.
During the Bothan crisis, Nathan was part of a Jedi apprentice training course near the Remnant and his group was captured by the Imperials and placed in the interrogation wing of a Super Star Destroyer. He resisted interrogation which would have helped Disra and the other collaborators greatly, even when they pulled teeth to gain it, he wouldn't budge.
He escaped and released Tionne and the other captive Jedi. He then proceeded to sabotage Super the Star Destroyer they were aboard, and confronted the Moff in charge, thanking him for pulling the last of his loose teeth for him.
He helped his brother Anakin and his friend Tahiri on their quests and helped bring down the Shadow Academy. He also encountered the crime syndicate known as the Black Sun for the first time. He would later battle an alternative version of the Black Sun. It was during this time that he first developed an infatuation for his "sister", Jaina.
[edit] Slave Seed
Before the Yuuzhan Vong War, Nathan would have been like any other Jedi in detecting the Yuuzhan Vong, but, as fate would have it—most likely the Force's intervention—Nathan would meet someone who could, however indirectly, teach him this technique.
Nathan had received reports of a small smuggling operation on the forest moon of Endor, which had been feeding the Imperial Remnant with stolen weapons. He proceeded there and scuttled the operation. Unfortunately, after he had completed his mission, he was struck from behind by someone he hadn't known existed.
The man woke him up later, explaining that as soon as his "fellows" came, the Jeedai would be exterminated. Nathan tried hard to feel him, but could not. The man implanted him with a slave seed and Nathan felt his mind seduced by a strong presence. He and his captor went to meet up with another man who shared the same characteristics as the first on Bakura. Nathan resisted and finally became the seducer, breaking free, he felt his captor in the Force. The man tore off his "skin" and revealed a heavily scarred form.
Unfortunately, the people of Bakura had begun to think the two men were Ssi-Ruuvi spies and attacked the home they were stationed in. Nearby was the residence of the Thanas', so Malinza Thanas was watching from afar. The events afterwards would shape her thoughts on the Jedi and Republic for years to come. After escaping the mob of Bakurans, Nathan sparred with both of the men and eventually killed them, wondering what they were.
[edit] Yuuzhan Vong War
[edit] Extragalactic Species and No Force-Sensitivity Don't Mix
- "Who's next?"
- —Nathaniel Kenobi Solo to Yuuzhan Vong warriors on Duro
- "I renounce my fear of telling the truth to the one I love! Jaina, I love you."
- —Nathan to Jaina Solo during the ceremony above Ithor where the Jedi were told to renounce something "bad" in them.
Nathan accompanied his aunt Mara, his mother Leia, and his future girlfriend Jaina to Rhommamool and was surprised when none of them (except for him) could sense Nom Anor in the Force. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the Galaxy, he was one of the first Jedi to encounter them. But he was the only one to sense them.
Nathan, Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin prepped for the defense of Dubrillion and Destrillion. He felt afraid, an emotion not common to him at all. He felt scared that he should be the one who could sense them in the Force. He asked such questions as why should he be the one and not another and was he somehow tied to this new race. Luckily, he remembered the mysterious beings who had captured him a year ago. The one named Provec Acto, who looked strikingly similar to the Yuuzhan Vong.
Instead of pursuing the truth further, he brushed aside his fears and participated in New Republic victories at Dubrillion and Helska. He also blamed himself for Chewbacca's death, since he could have ghosted him away, had he been there. He also participated at the Battle of Dantooine.
A fairly decent pilot, he and Jaina joined the legendary Rogue Squadron, but being the rogue he was, did not stay with them all the time. With Tenel Ka at his side, he began to evacuate the populaces of several planets, on Taris, they were knocked out and transported into a Peace Brigade ship. The Trandoshans in charge were Force-sensitives. In Trandoshan society being Force-sensitive automatically brings down your points with the Scorekeeper.
He managed to convince one of them, Zossk Sadeet, to free him and Tenel. He took Zossk as his apprentice. This also led to a mutual respect between him and Tenel Ka. He once had had feelings for her, but she pointed out to him that his destiny was with Jaina, not her. During the Battle of Ithor, he confessed his love for Jaina. He told her that after everything was over, they would get married, but they had to wait. During the Yuuzhan Vong attack on Duro, he fought through droves of Yuuzhan Vong warriors to save Jacen and Leia from Tsavong Lah.
Receiving a vision, he felt the need to get Anakin Solo back from the now captured Jedi Academy of Yavin IV, and learned why when he helped Anakin escape. The Shamed Ones were a low caste in the Yuuzhan Vong and were considered inferior to the "higher-ups". He felt burdened by this and accidentally began the Jeedai "Heresy".
He and several other Jedi pilots, helped the Zabrak of Iridonia escape their planet's takeover by the Yuuzhan Vong. He also established communications and brokered a temporary peace treaty with the Chev and Chevin of Vinsoth to help with the Great River project of his uncle's. He even got their leader, Ephant Mon to come out of retirement.
[edit] The Redemption of Korriban
- "Why don't you go back home and cry to your mother? Oh wait—you don't have one, do you?"
- —Nathaniel Kenobi Solo to Darth Mutatos
During the formation of the Great River, he and his idol, Kyle Katarn, initiated the Mission to Korriban, so that they could stop the threat of the Sith alchemist, Darth Mutatos.
The group consisted of several Jedi: Jaden Korr, Tenel Ka, Zekk, Imon Redirnus, Raxe Nuk, Hivrekh'wao'cheklev, Jaina Solo, Zossk Sadeet, Valin Horn, Jysella Horn, Jovan Drark, and Lowbacca. They were accompanied by the Arkanian smuggler Maka Jeth, his Yaka slave Duwingo, the Ryn spacer Orroz, and the Brubb spacer Arboc. They used Maka's personal freighter, Maka's Delight, to infiltrate the now captured planet Korriban.
Maka and Duwingo double-crossed the Jedi and advised a Yuuzhan Vong Sub-Commander, Eatmo Chick'en, to their whereabouts. He and Duwingo were killed by the traitorous Vong, but luckily for the Jedi, Nathan and Zossk initiated their ghosting power, so that they could escape.
In the tombs of Ajunta Pall and other Sith Lords, the Jedi split-up, so that they can cover more ground quicker than usual. During the time, Zekk's group was attacked by mutated shyracks and Imon was killed. Kyle's group also fell under attack by mutated vornskrs and wampas, but they are able to escape into the tomb of Ajunta Pall. Nathan's group was also attacked by Mutatos and Sacul Vao, along with mutated wraids and tuk'ata. Jaina was stabbed by Sacul, Zossk and Raxe were knocked out trying to defend Jysella, while Nathan's vocal cords were almost completely cut off, and his lightsabers were destroyed. He barely had enough time to make a blind ghosting attempt.
He reached Kyle's group and explained what happened via the Force, since it would take some time for his vocal cords to heal. Hivrekh built a makeshift vocabulator for him, but Nathan—though he still used it—disliked it, because it made him sound like Darth Vader. The motley group proceeded to the caverns below to avoid a Yuuzhan Vong patrol.
On the way, the group discovered two beings of unidentifiable origin. The "master", Cornelius, told Nathan of his and San-Props'—the other being—species. He is a Korribanite and San-Props is an Original Sith, as in the original species! Cornelius led them into his species' hideout in the depths of the huge caves that are abundant on Korriban.
The group reached the main city where they were greeted by happy mobs of not only Korribanites and Sith, but former Massassi warriors, and other species that had been captured by the Sith during the Great Hyperspace War. They went to the Council and learned of a prophecy made after Ludo Kressh and Naga Sadow had been defeated by Old Republic forces. It stated that some Humans, a Ryn, a Hapan, a Devaronian, and a Kel Dor would come and save them from a threat that populated their world—Mutatos and the Yuuzhan Vong. To ensure this happened, the three species, along with their former captives, fled to the depths of Korriban, to avoid anything that came along.
It is learned that the only reason they knew that the Jedi would come that day, was because of a Force-sensitive descendant of a former captive, who had a strange Force power, Astral projection. They agreed to help the combined group in saving their homes, but not until Nathan could build some lightsabers to replace the ones destroyed by Mutatos.
They learned of a secret crystal cave that had been found by a Twi'lek spelunker, Arhnell, who had been found as Force-sensitive by Nathan's ancestor the Jedi Exile. The Exile gave Arhnell the location and told him of the terentatek that was there and tasked Arhnell to protect the crystals from her and to protect them for a descendant of hers...Nathan. (The terentatek would have fed off of the Force energies there, which was how she survived after the deaths of her parents by Revan's hand.)
Nathan sent Hivrekh and Orroz on a scouting mission to find out when the captured Jedi were to be sacrificed. He and the others sought out the cave and found the terentatek and killed it with several thermal detonators. After finding Arhnell's Force ghost, Nathan convinces him that he is the one who needs the crystals, Arhnell's spirit fades and becomes one with the Force. It was here where he first gained his two lightsabers, one black, the other white; combined they made a gray double-bladed lightsaber.
After receiving the news that the captured Jedi were to be sacrificed in two days, Nathan told the remaining Jedi that he was going to let himself get captured, and to have the Court of Yun-Coria "sentence" him. He knew of a loophole in their laws that would help the rest of the Jedi free the captured ones and escape on Maka's Delight, provided the combined forces of the underground provide a very big distraction.
He was sent to the Court and made several nonsense claims, so that the other Jedi could rescue the captured ones. His "speech" was stopped by Mutatos, Sacul, their animals, and the captured Jedi, who had been brainwashed by Mutatos. Commander Hooley Krekk and senior creche-judge Eg'roeg Coris were killed in the skirmish and Nathan had to disable Jaina and the other Jedi. Hope came in the form of the combined Sith, Korribanite, and Massassi forces, who destroyed the Court's damutek and while Nathan was battling Mutatos, he was killed by his traitorous apprentice, Sacul.
Sacul attacked Nathan, as the combined forces took out all Yuuzhan Vong and mutated animal resistance. Nathan beheaded her and stopped the battle. All of the Jedi survived and promised to keep the secrets that they had found away from the "outside world". It was during this time that the Yuuzhan Vong decided that Nathan was the goddess Yun-Coria's messenger of avenging that which was made wrong: Yun-Avengane.
[edit] The War Drags On
- "May I pass?"
- —Nathaniel Kenobi Solo to Ganner Rhysode after killing a lot of Yuuzhan Vong warriors at the Well of the World Brain
During the Mission to Myrkr, he refused to become part of the battlemeld the Jedi had created. He didn't know why, he just didn't like it. This would later help him to not fall under someone else's influence.
He, unlike the other Jedi, did not get captured on Lando's ship. He and Zossk made it look like they were accidentally forced out into space via the garbage chute. Instead, they ghosted onto the Yuuzhan Vong vessel and made the crew uneasy, sometimes appearing as a mythical Yuuzhan Vong space specter. He and Zossk eventually killed the voxyn and the warriors guarding the captured Jedi and helped to gain control of the ship.
When the group went into the worldship he stayed in the front lines, killing as many Yuuzhan Vong as possible, trying to gain his wounded friends some respite. Although Anakin was considered the strike team's leader, Nathan didn't concern himself with such frivolities.
When they encountered the Dark Jedi Lomi and Welk, he was one in favor of leaving them for dead, only based on the reason that he felt something "wrong" about them. This would later come true during the Dark Nest Crisis. When they reached the defunct AT-AT, he used force lightning to charge its blaster cannons for a couple seconds, buying the Jedi some time to escape.
When Anakin was wounded defending Jaina with Nathan—she had been incapacitated by blorash jelly—Nathan carried him so that he could regain his strength quicker. Anakin didn't like the idea, but as Zossk Sadeet put it:
- "My Master can be, very persuazive."
- —Zossk Sadeet talking about Nathan's influence through the Force.
When Anakin died defending them from the Vong, Nathan managed to get the Yuuzhan Vong's trained voxyn to attack one another, giving the Jedi and Anakin more time. He felt his adopted brother's death, and his sweetheart's anger. Terrified of losing her to something only he knew how to control, he remained by her side constantly, making sure her actions could remain in check. They escaped Myrkr and fled to Hapes.
After, he helped bring Jaina back to the light, because after the death of brother, Anakin, and the disappearance and supposed death of Jacen, she had fallen. During the Borleias mission, he had an urge to help the Shamed Ones. Something kept prodding him to do it, so after a goodbye to Jaina, he went with Luke's striketeam to Coruscant. Here he departed from them and helped create a Shamed underground and also helped bring the "heresy" they had created to bear fruit, as the Shamed watched their "redeemer" help them.
When Jacen Solo and Ganner Rhysode were on the planet, he realized that he was meant to save Jacen, before anything happened to him. With his loyal Shamed One allies, he stormed the Well of the World Brain and prophesied that a former enemy would lead them to greatness. Leaving Ganner behind to keep the Yuuzhan Vong at bay, he assisted Vergere and Jacen in their escape. Shortly after, Nom Anor, who unknowingly had fulfilled Nathan's prophecy, took over his duties teaching the Shamed as the Prophet.
- "I believe the word she was looking for gentlebeings, was fire."
- —Nathan to the crew of the Ksstarr, after surprising Jaina.
While Jacen and Vergere were leaving to Mon Calamari, he ghosted to the captured Yuuzhan Vong cruiser, Ksstarr and Jaina. She was busy directing the battle, when she felt something kissing her: It was Nathan making as dramatic an entrance as possible. They won and he returned to Mon Cal and was voted as an ulterior member of the new Council, taking the place of a missing Council member, which he did several times.
He participated in the Battle of Ebaq 9. When the Jedi were forced to land on Tarkin's Fang, he "coerced" a furious Jaina to flee into the tunnels while he held the Yuuzhan Vong off.
Twin Suns Squadron (of which he was a founding member) was assigned to protect his parents, while they were attempting to re-establish communications across the GFFA. So he joined them, but only for a while. He was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong when his XJ lost power in a small skirmish above Raxus Prime. Luckily, he was able to escape and destroyed the cruiser he had been taken to before it could transport him to Coruscant to be sacrificed.
After the excursion to Bakura, he was messing with his grandfather's holocron, while Jaina and Zossk entered his room. He finally managed to get it to work and was dazzled by his ancestor's exploits following the end of the great Jedi Purge.
[edit] Explanations About the Past
- "So this is my family history. Finally, I can do what I was born to do. I must save the colony my grandfather built to protect the Jedi. Nothing will get in my way."
- —Nathan on his purpose in life
The trio watched as Nathan's grandfather explained his story. He told of The Vandal Wars and the Battle of Jrack. He told of how Ferus Olin and Anakin Skywalker were his greatest friends. He told of the betrayal and pain he felt at discovering that Anakin had betrayed them.
Nathan Sr. had gained two apprentices earlier that day, one was named Ada Fey'lya and the other was Udo Rand. He had found both strong in the Force and could not decide which to pick, so he chose both of them. He and another friend named Jak Virtus had tried to defend the younglings, but to no avail. He managed to sneak out by utilizing his ghosting power, taking Udo and Ada with him.
Thanks to Bail Organa, they escaped and fled to Belsavis. Unfortunately, they could not reach it, as they were stopped Gilad Pellaeon. They changed plans and went to Kamino, seeking to destroy the cloning facilities.
Nathan was told of the evacuation of Kamino and the love his father had found in a woman who looked exactly the same as his own: Abigaile Jade. He was told of the founding of Novus Kamino Prime and the Jedi his grandfather had trained to defend them. The Ottiumigos Centrality intrigued him, as well as the rogue Yuuzhan Vong Commander who had attacked them: Hooley Krekk.
His grandfather's determination to destroy the Imperials matched his own fervor in destroying the Yuuzhan Vong's hold on the Galaxy. He watched as his grandfather lied to his grandmother, driving her to leave for Tatooine.
He watched the dead man's despair and his renewed spirit searching for a wife he had never wished to hurt. He watched as he was told—again—of a bad decision he had made to help the smugglers Maka Jeth and Duwingo.
He watched the Emperor and Darth Vader fight his descendant and witnessed his grandmother's death. He watched as they fled Wayland for parts unknown. He noticed that the Jedi were still there on Novus Kamino Prime and that his grandfather had made a prophecy concerning the colony's future. That they would be freed from adversity by his descendant, in other words Nathaniel Kenobi Solo.
Nathan watched as the holocron shut off and thought gleefully. Particularly about the group of sizable Jedi still left on the colony of Novus Kamino Prime. Seeing an opportunity to help strengthen the already low Jedi morale, he kissed Jaina goodbye and promised to marry her after he was done.
[edit] Schism
- "Did my grandfather intend for the colony he established to be so mired in apathy, that they would execute one of their own?"
- —Nathaniel Kenobi Solo to the members of the Novus Kamino Prime Council about the interrogation of Wakdraxon
Nathan's adventure was to take a turn for the worst, when a Rodian Peace Brigade member, Eutrus, passed on this classified information to his Yuuzhan Vong superior, Vlek Shai. The Yuuzhan Vong quickly made plans to kill the unsuspecting Jeedai of the colony, before they could adapt as the Jedi of the GFFA had done. Zossk Sadeet learned of this and went to Nathan's last known coordinates to warn him.
Nathan arrived in the Ottiumigos Centrality and found his long-lost father, but learned that not only was he the false messiah, he was a Clawdite Dark Jedi. Thanks to the efforts of Ada Karr, Derran Karr, Kla, Olos Nah, Rozix, Tireal, Crash, Sneaky, and Flyboy, Nathan was able to escape Ottiumigos Prime, but unfortunately, Flyboy and Kla were killed.
Nathan then met his grandfather's old friend, Doc, and got an update on the Colonies' situation. He then proved that he is the savior by ghosting. Prime Minister Taun We and Jedi Masters Plett and Pandraxon then granted him partial control of the fleet and colony. Nathan assumed his grandfather's role as Slag One and began campaigns against the Traitors.
After a month of endless hit and run strikes, Nathan had had enough: now would be the time to hurt his father. In this period of time, Nat-ahn had conceived a child by his Zeltron concubine Dina, named Dal-tone Mandrex. Now unafraid that his line would end, he authorizes deadly force against his estranged son.
Disobeying Brashus' orders, Nathan attacks his father's fleet in a space battle and wins. Impressed, Brashus offers him his position, but Nathan refuses, saying that he is here to save them, not gain a position that would encumber them.
When the victorious Jedi return to Novus Kamino Prime's Jedi Temple, they discovered it was ablaze and under attack by the invading Traitor Dark Jedi. One is captured and was tortured for information. When the captured Dark Jedi's—Pandraxon's daughter Wakdraxon—condition is revealed to Nathan by Doc, he stopped the interrogation and uses a simple mind probe and sees Kelakus' slaves.
Zossk, meanwhile, encounters the Yuuzhan Vong above the world of Toola, whose native Whiphids had suffered grievous losses in battle. She fought the advance agents and manages to flee to Nathan, warning of the Yuuzhan Vong. Nathan, to the surprise of Zossk, laughs and thanks her for the concern. He has already had his troops combat-ready for the Vong, equipping them with weapons supplied by his soon-to-be wife Jaina Solo, and the Colonies had already manufactured many anti-Yuuzhan Vong weapons beforehand, fearing that the Treaty of Novus Kamino Prime might be broken.
Nathan devises a plan to end the war once and for all: while the main battlefleet, under Brashus, focuses on the Yuuzhan Vong, and another on Ottiumigos Prime, he will lead an assault on the manufacturing world Kelakus. The plans were drawn, the battles begun, the end in sight. The Yuuzhan Vong attacked Novus Kamino Prime, but thanks to Zossk and Brashus, they were easily defeated. Partial thanks was given to the fact that several Jedi had trained themselves to be ready for the Yuuzhan Vong to return. Sensing defeat, Supreme Commander Vlek Shai, jumped to the Kelakus system. Intent on causing as much destruction as possible.
The feint at Ottiumigos Prime was semi-successful, because Nat-ahn fled when he realizes that is not their intended target. He finds his son on Kelakus and threatens his new child's life, unless Nathan comes and lets them finish it once and for all. Even though he followed the Potentium, the scared cries of his half-brother resonated through the Force, so Nathan accepted the challenge: winner take all.
Not the best lightsaber duelist, Nat-ahn used his shapeshifting and guile to try to win Nathan over. A chance mind probe on his part, revealed whom Nathan loved and Nat-ahn promised to take very...special care of her. Since he had been holding back until then, Nathan let loose the fury of all nine Corellian hells.
Vlek Shai came into the fray and attacked the two Force-sensitives. Evenly matched, Vlek and Nat-ahn ganged up on Nathan. The two foes almost subdued him, but remembering the promise he had given Jaina, and the cries of Dal-tone, Nathan found all the willpower he needed and conquered his opponents. Slicing the duo in six neatly cut pieces.
With their leader dead, the Traitors surrender and receive a full pardon. Nathan takes most of the Jedi and clones to the Core, so that they can help in the retaking of Coruscant. He and Jaina also adopted Dal-tone. Unfortunately, Dal-tone was born with a defection, his heart and lungs were not large enough to support his tiny body. He died the following year and was buried with honor on Ottiumigos Prime. Or, that's what people wanted them to think.
[edit] The Battle of Coruscant
- "This is it, boys. The one to finish it all. If we lose, they win the war. But if we win, then you better believe we'll send them back where they came from."
- —Nathan trying to boost the morale of his troops.
After the Battle of Novus Kamino Prime, Novus Kamino Prime had begun issuing scientists and soldiers to study everything Yuuzhan Vong. This led to better knowledge of their ships and they were able to receive weapons left behind on Ottiumigos Prime and train their soldiers on how to best them in battle. This led to the creation of the Amphistaff Legion, which specialized in killing them.
These troops proved very effective during the Battle of Coruscant, as they were a surprise to the Yuuzhan Vong they fought, seeing as they used their own weapons against them. Nathan led them to the heart of Shimrra's fortress, along with Jaina, Jacen, and Luke. They fought the Slayers and Nathan held off most of them while Luke went for Shimrra.
He felt Jaina collapse in the Force as she pursued Onimi and realized she had been captured. He watched Jacen head after her and followed. The two brothers conquered the would-be conquerer and finished the battle.
But thanks to the treachery of Nom Anor, they weren't out of trouble yet. That was when he revealed that everything Nom Anor had done, had been something he already knew about. The portrayal of Yu'Shaa, the poisoning of Zonama Sekot, and the "betrayal" of his family on Shimrra's former escape vehicle. Knowing this, Nom Anor escaped and was presumed dead.
[edit] Calm Before the Storm
[edit] Post Yuuzhan Vong War: Naboo
- "It's bad enough you had to fight Vader and lose. Didn't you get it then? There is no dark side, only fools and idiots, such as you!"
- —Nathaniel Kenobi Solo to Darth Maul's resurrected spirit
After the final battle and the retaking of Coruscant, Nathan and Jaina married. It was a splendid ceremony and many remarked that it mirrored the marriage of Han and Leia Solo several years earlier in size. Their honeymoon took place on the planet Naboo.
While attempting to land there, their ship—which was a wedding present from Talon Karrde—was shot down and they had to get to the escape pods and in the process got separated from each other. Nathan awoke to the strange city of Otoh Gunga and was met by an old Gungan, who told him of some Jedi that had helped him and his fellow Gungans out in the past.
Jaina awoke to an even stranger setting. She did not know who or what she was! A man came into the room and informed her that she was to be his bride in a few days and that he was a Sith Lord and she would be his second-in-command. His name was Darth Pravus. Nathan agreed to help the Gungans and Humans who had been exiled by the Sith Lord for treason, on the condition they help him find his wife.
Darth Pravus went back into his chambers and conversed with the Force ghost of Darth Maul. He told him everything was in order and was going to plan. Maul smiled and thanked the Sith for helping to bring about more glory to the name Sith.
On an espionage mission, Nathan found out that all of the droids that had been left behind after the Trade Federation's invasion had been reactivated. And even worse, they were building ships to threaten the already weakened Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. During the mission, he spotted Jaina and attempted to bring her back into the light. She feigned it and stabbed him in the stomach. Leaving him for dead, she returned to her new Master.
Thanks to the help of the Gungans, Nathan was able to escape and plan the destruction of the droids. But thanks to an information tap, he was able to discover that Pravus was to leave for the planet Rakata Prime, more specifically to the "reborn" Star Forge, so that they could create another droid army. Contacting the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, Nathan was able to receive a battlefleet to destroy the Sith.
In a fierce lightsaber duel, he managed to retrieve his wife and kill both the Sith Lord and Maul's force ghost, which had manifested itself in Pravus' body. and Admirals Gilad Pellaeon and Traest Kre'fey were able to destroy the Star Forge. The happy couple continued their honeymoon elsewhere, somewhere safer, like Nar Shaddaa.
[edit] Sullust
- "Many famous people have come from Sullust, padawan. Though few things have ever happened here. Some people go as far as to say it is a "dead planet". Which makes it the perfect target for these criminals."
- —Nathaniel Kenobi Solo to Grapper
Following the aforementioned events, Nathan and Jaina had two children: Mariz Kenobi Solo (a variation of Mara) and Anakin Kenobi Solo. (For his dead adopted brother.) He also relocated the Whiphids because of the devastation caused on their homeworld, Toola by the Yuuzhan Vong.
In 24 ABY, Falleen and Sullustan thugs Reckz and Klic Niuv witnessed the downfall of Black Sun at the hands of the Jedi Knights. They were able to escape by altering their retinas and fleeing to Sullust, of which Black Sun did not have a base located at. They plotted to resurrect it, but under a different name and purpose: Black Nova. They intended it to be for the fueling of the anti-Yuuzhan Vong movement, so that while the GFFA and the Jedi were occupied with that, they could begin to plunge the Galaxy into civil war, selling weapons to both sides.
They were not in this alone, a Dark Jedi named simply, Pelis Helrote, a Givin, had given instruction on the matter, sensing an opportunity to revive the Sith's control over the Galaxy. Luckily for the Galaxy, Jedi Masters Jaina Solo and Nathan intercepted their plans on a smuggling bust. Nathan alerted his former apprentice, now Jedi Knight Zossk Sadeet and her apprentice, a female Clatear named Clig'orh, so they joined them in destroying it from within.
The Bothan leader, Reh'mwa, had contacted the Black Nova and agreed to deal with them. Nathan's Sif'krie apprentice, Grapper, found out and alerted her Master. Nathan arranged to have his group scheduled to "guard" the shipment.
More than halfway through, Nathan felt a dark influence and told the others to start without him. He followed the presence, awaiting a trick or a trap. It was sprung, but thanks to his logic and danger sense, he was able to avoid the Givin's attack. He asked why the Dark Jedi was attacking him and why he hated the Yuuzhan Vong.
The Givin replied that he didn't care, except that it would advance his own needs. Nathan and the Dark Jedi battled, while Jaina and the rest of the Jedi sabotaged the mission. Unfortunately, Reh'mwa had prepared for this and ordered a group of Bothan Assault Cruisers to attack them.
When Nathan realized how close they were to Sekot, he left the Dark Jedi alone and went to the bridge. The two crimelords were about to release the coordinates of Sekot, when Nathan killed them unmercifully with Force crush.
His plans falling all around him, Reh'mwa left the Jedi alone, provided his name was kept out of the ordeal. The Jedi would later deal with him during the Swarm War. Meanwhile, the Givin Dark Jedi charged the Jedi, but he was struck down by a blastershot from behind, Nathan had had enough.
The Jedi's mission successful, the rest of the Order sent the surviving members of the Black Nova into prison. Nathan and Jaina took a well deserved break, which ended up with the conception of their youngest child, Jacen Kenobi Solo.
[edit] Swarm War
- "Miss me?"
- —Nathaniel Kenobi Solo to Welk
When Raynar's call came Nathan did not receive it. For he had not been part of the battlemeld. Even though he did not feel it, he went to find his wife. Following clues, he was led to a strange planet, filled with blue Killiks, which attacked him. After defeating them, he saw an old "friend", Welk. Engaging him in a lightsaber duel, he was about to be killed, when out of nowhere, he was pulled from there and brought to the past.
Astonished, he noticed his grandfather, grandmother, and his mother, accompanied by another woman, albeit alien, named Asajj Ventress. She told him that he was not dead and that it was not time for him to die either. She taught him more long-lost Force powers that would become relevant later.
He learned several lost techniques from older Orders of the Jedi. Such as Force stasis, Psychometry, Battle Meditation, Force Storm, and the ability to use his lightsaber's energy to flow over him, making himself practically invulnerable. Unfortunately, this could only be used sparingly, as it caused severe scarring after a while.
When his aunt Mara and uncle Luke were fighting Gorog, he ghosted back and ignited his lightsabers, except they didn't come from the blades. He had become the lightsaber. With a quick strike, he apparently killed Welk.
During the Qoribu incident, he stayed away from his wife and Zekk, as he didn't know how to deal with their present situation as Joiners. He also assisted in the Battles of Nickel One and Thyferra, but they were temporary annoyances to him, because he knew his wife was in danger.
While his wife and Zekk were trapped on Tenupe, he, Anakin, and Mariz got into their Stealth-Xs and went out to rescue them. Jaina and Zekk had enough problems on their hands, though; Welk had not died, but had come back for more! He captured them and told them that they were merely the bait. Nathan came regardless and with the help of his children—and a couple well-hidden YVH droids—slew Welk for eternity. Thus ending the Dark Nest, because Luke had killed Lomi Plo and redeemed Raynar.
[edit] The Dragon Slayers
On the Outer Rim world of POC3, a group of freedom fighters were desperate. Their world was slowly being taken over by the assassin droid HK-78 and his "subjects", the firewelder-droids, or "Dragons". The resistance was called the The POC3 Dragon Slayers. They petitioned the Alliance for help and Jedi Masters Nathan and Jaina answered the plea.
They organized them better and brought along some old friends who would know how to deal with droids: the clonetroopers of Novus Kamino Prime. With the help of the clones, the Jedi were able to deal with the droids much more effectively than if they were not there.
The assassin droid had learned of his "family's" history and had decided to make his own mark—so he decided to follow in the path of the first droid to have the name HK: HK-01. He would lead the droids against the Galaxy and kill the Yuuzhan Vong for daring the deactivate them. Still suffering from scars of the Yuuzhan Vong War, Nathan almost let them set out to continue on their quest, but realized that his selfishness would cause the deaths of millions.
Luckily, Nathan, Jaina, the resistance, and the troopers were more than a match for him, deactivating him and restoring the firewelder-droids' memories back. The droids then resumed their normal duties. The native populace of POC-3 heralded them as heroes and they left back to Coruscant with the remains of HK-78. Better to keep one's enemies closer than to let them be resurrected.
[edit] Mandalore
On a diplomatic mission to Mandalore, Nathan and Jaina were met by Brek, a former friend of Nathan's from Novus Kamino Prime, who had left the Colonies for Mandalore. They were honored guests of the Mandalorians, because of the ties they had with them, notably their last names. They had also brought Anakin and Mariz so that they could gain experience in diplomacy.
The mission was doomed to failure when insurgents within the Mandalorian ranks attacked the party planned for the talks. Brek was killed and all hope lost for the Kenobi Solos to escape Mandalore alive.
