Legend

this Imperial Navy Lieutenant was a native of Tyshapahl, and graduated from the Academy the year before Han Solo. When Solo was dishonorably discharged for freed Chewbacca, Tedris was serving under Admiral Ozzel at the affair, and displayed his disgust by first slapping and then spitting at Han. He later served under Admiral Winstel Greelanx aboard the Imperial Destiny during the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Bjalin discovered Han Solo aboard the ship, shortly after the Battle of Nar Shaddaa, as Solo tried to leave after delivering the bribe payment to Greelanx. Greelanx had just been executed by Darth Vader for accepting the bribe, and Bjalin attributed Greelanx's death to Solo. Solo managed to stun Bjalin and escape. Bjalin came to fast enough to order Solo's ship destroyed. The ship exploded, but Solo escaped in a life pod. When Bjalin learned that his family had died in the Imperial massacre on Tyshapahl, he defected from Imperial service and joined the Corellian resistance. He served with Bria Tharen during the Battle of Ylesia.
