One of his fellow gang members was a girl named [[Qi'ra]] with the two being lovers along with desiring to leave the life they had on Corellia. During an assignment, Han stole a valuable object and kept it for himself with the intention of using it to buy himself along with Qi'ra passage off their world. This led to them turning against Proxima and attempting to evade her enforcers that sought to re-capture the two orphans.

Han was said to had never had been close to his father before his death leading to him becoming an orphan. He ended up among other orphaned children who were forced to steal in order to survive with him being part of a gang that was headed by Lady Proxima. One of his fellow gang members was a girl named Qi'ra with the two being lovers along with desiring to leave the life they had on Corellia. During an assignment, Han stole a valuable object and kept it for himself with the intention of using it to buy himself along with Qi'ra passage off their world. This led to them turning against Proxima and attempting to evade her enforcers that sought to re-capture the two orphans. They made it to the airport where they bribed one of their airport staff with Han being through the gates but Qi'ra was captured. She told Han to escape with him promising to find a way back to recover her in the future.

In three years time, he was a Mudtrooper where he was deployed on the planet Mimban that was fighting against Imperial control where Han attempted to force compliance and saw numerous casualties in the Empire's infantry.
Following the skirmish, Han spoke with "Captain" Beckett, expressing gratitude for his help. Beckett advised him to get away from there as fast as he could. Solo soon encountered Beckett's companions, Val and the Ardennian Rio Durant, who were disguised as Imperial Army troopers. They warned him not to follow them. Lieutenant Alayus Bolandin informed Han and his comrades that they would be moving out to the Southern Marshlands in three hours. When Bolandin requested an advance party, Solo questioned why the Empire was destroying and occupying Mimban, earning the enmity of his commanding officer.

However, Beckett turned the tables on him and convinced Lieutenant Bolandin that Solo was attempting to desert. Seeking an opportunity to rid his unit of a "trouble-maker," Bolandin had a chained Solo thrown into a pen where he was condemned to battle a "beast" held in captivity.
The beast was revealed to be a Wookiee named Chewbacca, whose species had been enslaved by the Empire. Thinking he was a threat, Chewbacca attacked Han and hurled him against the girders and mud. Owing to Han's ability to speak Shyriiwook, Solo convinced Chewbacca that he was a friend.
