Birth |
|
|
Even before they were born, Jaina and her twin brother Jacen, along with their mother, were subject to no less than three kidnapping attempts by Grand Admiral Thrawn's Noghri Death Commandos. In order to entice the mad Dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth into helping him with his campaign, Thrawn had made a promise to apprehend Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Solo, and her as yet unborn children—Force-sensitive individuals that C'baoth would corrupt and mold in any way that he saw fit once he got his hands on them. |

After a visit to the blighted world of Honoghr, Leia ensured that Jaina and Jacen were born on Coruscant during the final days of the Thrawn campaign without the threat of any more kidnapping attempts by Noghri Death Commandos hanging over their heads. Thrawn, however, still trying to keep his end of the bargain, sent Imperial Intelligence agents to Coruscant to kidnap the twins and their mother once again. The quarters in which the Solo family lived were destroyed, but Thrawn's agents once again were foiled and the twins were unharmed. |

Isolation |
|
|
Despite the reassurances of ancient Jedi lore that held that childish innocence was an effective obstacle to the corrupting influence of the dark side of the Force, Jaina and Jacen's uncle Luke believed that any contact with the dark side could warp the mind of a young child for the rest of his or her life. Given the power that the twins would wield when they grew older, Luke told Han and Leia that he felt it was best to minimize any chance for the twins to be kidnapped during this vulnerable time. |

|
|
|
|
They took his advice and sent the twins to New Alderaan, to be under the care of Leia's lifelong friend and aide Winter. Any safety that could be derived from this arrangement would be short-lived, however. The reborn Emperor Palpatine discovered New Alderaan's location and ordered an attack on the planet immediately. During the chaos of the Second Battle of New Alderaan, Jaina and Jacen were nearly kidnapped by Darksiders Xecr Nist and Kvag Gthull, but their efforts were thwarted by the actions of Jedi warriors led by Skywalker. |
|
|
|
|
|
Following the battle, Jaina and Jacen were brought to the ancient space city of Nespis VIII, where their parents and uncle discovered that the New Republic had survived the destruction of Da Soocha V. After the birth of their younger brother, Anakin, Jacen and Jaina would live with their mother and father in the space city until they fled with the rest of the New Republic forces, shortly before the city was destroyed by one of the Galaxy Gun's warheads. |
