Legend

this Sullustan was once employed as a pilot by Teroenza. He became ill from transporting spice from Ylesia, which was later diagnosed as an allergy, and was temporarily replaced by a young Han Solo. He helped the young man understand ways to navigate the storms that ravage the planet. Their friendship grew quickly, and eventually Jalus assisted Han in escaping from Ylesia. It was Nebl who flew between the Talisman and the Helot's Shackle, breaking the tractor beam contact and allowing both himself and Han to escape. Nebl fled into hyperspace with the Ylesian Dream and disappeared. He joined the Alliance, and renamed the Ylesian Dream to Dream of Freedom. He joined Bria Tharen and the group which assaulted Ylesia to destroy the Besadii businesses there. He piloted the Dream of Freedom in through the atmosphere and led the way for many Alliance ships to reach the ground. Unfortunately, the Dream of Freedom was the first ship targetted by the turbolaser protecting the planet. The first shots it fired in defense of the colonies there struck the Dream of Freedom and destroyed it, killing Nebl in the explosion.
