Antillion, a world situated in a remote part of the galaxy, could be considered a backwater planet. From approximately 8 BBY to 2 BBY, an Imperial governor oversaw its sector. It was on this planet that Sava Madelin Sun, a former academic from the University of Bar'leth, made her living as a junk seller after her previous life fell apart due to the destruction of the Jedi Order. During this time period, she acquired an urn from Augustus Graves, the CEO of the Corellian Engineering Corporation, believing it contained the remains of Krestrel D'Naran, a major rival of Jabba Desilijic Tiure; she then stored it in her home.
Han Solo and Chewbacca, both smugglers, journeyed to Antillion along with Ovan, a man claiming to be Solo's father but who was actually the criminal Corbus Tyra, with the intention of retrieving the urn for Jabba. Solo's attempts to purchase the urn were unsuccessful. Following this failed negotiation, Solo informed three stormtroopers that Sun possessed illegal goods, hoping to distract her and allow them to search for the urn themselves. However, when the troopers arrived at Sun's residence, they were killed by Lady Qi'ra of Crimson Dawn, leading Sun to depart with Qi'ra. With the building now empty, Solo and Tyra entered and located the urn, but just before they could leave, the Wookiee bounty hunter Krrsantan shot Tyra in the back.
