Legend

this green-skinned humanoid was a native of the planet Solem, and was part of the rebel underground that sprang up during the early years of the Galactic Civil War. Yolan Bren was known as the Poet among his people, for he spoke eloquently about throwing off the Imperial yoke of control. It was later revealed that Yolan Bren was also the brother of Imperial Governor Malvander. They had been brought up to rule Solem together, but Yolan Bren could not stand by and allow the Empire to simply take his planet. However, in the wake of the Battle of Yavin, Solem was brutally subjugated by Malvander, in an effort to impress the Empire. Yolan Bren barely survived the attack, receiving several injuries to his arms and chest. Hoping to break the will of Solem's natives, the Empire hired Boba Fett to ensure that Yolan Bren was killed. Rather than see any more of his companions killed, Yolan Bren surrendered himself to the bounty hunter. His fellow rebels, however, could not simply sit by and watch him being captured. Lol led a group of rebels into G'ai Solem, where Malvander's forces were spread too thin to stop any form of organized resistance. They were able to easily rescue Yolan Bren, and in turn captured Malvander.
