Legend

this was the false identity used by Han Solo to smuggle three CR-90 corvettes out of Imperial space, for sale to the Alliance, a few years before the Battle of Yavin. Claiming it had been named for his mother, Han told Captain Llnewe of the customs vehicle Vigilant that he was in the employ of some farmers from Nadiem who were in need of supplies. The farmers, Han claimed, had help fund the purchase of the Jaina's Light. Each time the Imperial stopped him, Han claimed to be travelling to Nadiem to deliver supplies to the farmers. However, it took three meetings for Captain Llnewe to realize that he never intercepted the Jaina's Light during its return from the planet Nadiem. By that time, Han and Chewbacca had earned a tidy sum for delivering the three - virtually identical - corvettes to Mako Spince for sale to the Alliance.
