Badure, Alexsandr
an old acquaintence of Han Solo, Badure was a veteran of the Old Republic's military, having served in the Twi'lek Spice Conflict, the Corellian Territories Engagements, and the Outer RIm Wars. After retirement, Badure went to work as a mechanic at the Imperial Academy, and it was here that he met Han Solo as a cadet. After leaving Imperial service, Badure worked on and off with Han and Chewie, and even saved them during the blown Kessel run that got them into trouble with Jabba the Hutt. Chewie carried a life-debt to Badure from that point on, which was repaid years later on the snowy slopes of Dellalt. In the interim, Badure found himself down on his luck, and was forced to do contract work in the mines of Dellalt, where he met Lanni and Hasti Troujow. He was reunited with Han and Chewbacca on Rudrig, where Badure and Hasti Troujow were trying to begin their search for the Queen of Ranroon. He asked Han for transport, but Han initially refused, claiming that he was finally solvent and didn't want to risk losing any more credits. Badure eventually decided to tell Han about his knowledge of the Queen of Ranroon, and Han agreed to help him find the ship, for a share of the spoils. They managed to return to Dellalt, but were apprehended by J'uoch's thugs and forced to walk to the ship on foot. Once they learned that the cargo hidden within the Queen of Ranroon had been hidden in the vaults of the Dellaltian Bank and Currency Exchange, they were dismayed to find that the "treasure" was little more than raw materials that Xim had planned to stockpile for his war effort. However, Badure was more than happy to accept a job as a transport agent for Skynx and his university.
