Legend

Arhul was the executive secretary and master historian for the Alliance High Command, and chronicled the history of the Alliance as well as that of the fledgling New Republic. Before that, he was just a man who was sold into slavery to the Zygerrians. While being transported to his new owner, Arhul's slave ship was attacked. He and his comrades huddled in fear, only to find they were in no danger. Han Solo and Chewbacca had overtaken and boarded the ship, only to find the slavers gone. Han asked Arhul if he could pilot the ship, and with a positive reply, Han and Chewie disappeared. Arhul and his companions then realized that the two smugglers had left behind the Zygerrian slavers' expensive cargo, which Arhul and his comrades used to regain their freedom. Because of this event, and because the Empire turned a blind eye to much of the slaving that took place during the era of the New Order, Hextraphon and many of his fellow slaves decided to join the Alliance. Years later, after the Battle of Hoth, Major Hextraphon had the chance to interview the Jedi Master Yoda on Dagboah. Although nothing was ever published, it was rumored that Yoda provided Arhul with a very detailed life story. Arhul swore to keep the story a secret, and never revealed what was said between them.
