Legend

this tall, braod-shouldered man was the owner of a one-man airshow that toured the backwater of the Tion Hegemony during the early years of the New Order. Grigmin was a few years younger than Han Solo when he employed the out-of-work smuggler as a maintenance mechanic and pitcrewman. Grigmin, a former heavyweight unarmed fighter, made his aliving by amazing simple people with simple maneuvers in a modified airspeeder. This galled Han as much as the menial labor he was forced to do, and Grigmin's entire demeanor simply grated on him. Thus, during a series of shows staged during the Saheelindeeli High Festival, Han decided that he had had enough. As Grigmin set out to amaze the native Saheelindeeli, Han flew the Skybarge - an old cargo ship - in his wake, easily mimicking Grigmin's maneuvers. At the end of the show, Han settled the Skybarge onto Grigmin's vessel, utterly grounding the unskilled show-off. The Skybarge was then awarded the best exhibit at the High Festival.
