Wookieepedia: Thracken Sal-Solo

Remember when the Solo family name was a thing? A time before George Lucas sold out to the people who refused to pay the authors of their goldmine and reduced it to a throwaway line in a movie?

FWIW - Dark Empire (graphic novel) is the •real• way Palpatine’s soul was dragged from this material plane of existence. The audiobook has Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian.

It’s How It Should Have Ended.

TLDR

Thrackan Sal-Solo, a Human male and first cousin of Han Solo, was known for his vicious crimes and ambition. Despite his criminal history, he rose to power multiple times, including as Head of State of Corellia and its Minister of War. He was responsible for the Second Galactic Civil War and issued a bounty on Han Solo's family. Thrackan's life was marked by a lifelong feud with Han and a desire to restore the Corellian Independence.
