Ramid, a Human captain commanding a starship, once shared a romantic connection with Ania Solo, a descendant of the renowned smuggler Han Solo. In the twilight of the Second Imperial Civil War, both he and Ania Solo found themselves incarcerated within an Imperial detention facility located on the world of Drash-So. At some point, Ramid and Solo attempted to break free from their imprisonment. While Solo successfully fled off-world, reaching the Carreras system, Ramid was unfortunately recaptured, subjected to brutal beatings, and reimprisoned by the guards. Following the defeat of the One Sith, forces of the Fel Empire liberated the Drash-So prison camp, leading to Ramid's release. The harsh experiences endured on Drash-So instilled within Ramid a profound sense of bitterness and resentment directed towards his former lover.
By the year 139 ABY, Ramid had risen to the rank of captain, commanding a starship that journeyed throughout the expanse of the Outer Rim Territories. In that particular year, an opportunity to settle the score with Solo presented itself when the Galactic Federation Triumvirate, the newly established galactic governing body, placed a bounty on her head, accusing her of the alleged murder of Imperial Knight Teemen Alton. During a visit by Solo and her companions to Lasgo Port, Ramid and his crew cunningly lured Solo aboard their starship under the guise of needing assistance with their damaged engine systems. Once aboard, Solo was taken captive and confined. Ramid and his crew planned to transport her to the nearest inhabited system, where they would hand her over to the Imperial authorities. However, Ramid's carefully laid plans were disrupted by the unexpected arrival of a third party – a mysterious bounty hunter who had previously served as Solo and Ramid's jailer.
After an extended pursuit across a desolate world characterized by acidic rain, molten silica, and shards of glass, the bounty hunter managed to disable Ramid's starship, resulting in the deaths of his crew. However, both Ramid and Ania Solo survived the crash and formed an alliance to evade the bounty hunter and reach the planet's only settlement, hoping to secure transportation off-world. While seeking shelter beneath Ramid's speeder bike during a "glass storm", the former couple managed to reconcile their differences. Ramid forgave Solo for abandoning him on Drash So, while she, in turn, forgave him for her kidnapping. Once the storm had subsided, they ventured towards the settlement, only to be confronted by an attack from the mysterious bounty hunter. During the ensuing confrontation, Ramid attempted to sever the bounty hunter's prosthetic hand, but she retaliated by breaking his neck, resulting in his death. Despite his demise, Solo, with the assistance of Imperial Knights Yalta Val and Jao Assam, successfully cleared her name.
During the Second Imperial Civil War, a period of conflict between the One Sith and their Galactic Empire, and the Fel Empire alongside their Galactic Alliance allies, Ramid lived. He became romantically involved with Ania Solo. As the Second Imperial Civil War neared its end, Ramid and Ania Solo were confined to an Imperial labor camp situated on the planet Drash-So. Throughout their imprisonment, they faced frequent beatings and mistreatment at the hands of Imperial guards, who wielded laser whips. Sometime during this period, Ramid and Solo devised a plan to escape the labor camp. During their escape attempt, Ramid was shot and wounded by his Imperial captors.
Assuming Ramid, her love interest, was dead, Solo escaped off-world, eventually reaching the Carreras system. However, Ramid survived the shooting and was placed in solitary confinement by his Imperial captors. During his confinement, Ramid endured regular beatings and torture from the guards, who demanded information about Solo's whereabouts and how she had escaped. After resisting for some time, Ramid eventually broke down and revealed everything he knew about Solo. The Imperials acted upon Ramid's information but were unable to locate her. Suspecting he had lied, they subjected Ramid to further beatings. Following the death of the usurper Emperor Darth Krayt, Fel Empire forces liberated the Drash-So prison camp, and Ramid was released. As a result of his traumatic experiences, Ramid harbored deep resentment and anger towards Solo, whom he believed had betrayed and abandoned him.
By 139 ABY, Ramid had become the captain of a starship and commanded a crew that included a Twi'lek pilot and a Klatooinian crew member. While visiting the spaceport Lasgo Port, situated on a planet surrounded by a dangerous minefield, Ramid learned that the new galactic government, the Galactic Federation Triumvirate, had placed a bounty on Ania Solo's head for the alleged murder of the Imperial Knight Teemen Alton. Ramid somehow discovered that Solo was visiting the planet while her assassin droid companion AG-37 was delivering a shipment on his freighter. Ramid saw Solo's visit as an opportunity to exact revenge against his former lover. Ramid and his crew deactivated their starship's atmospheric and communication systems and allowed their vessel to drift in the space minefield.
When AG-37's freighter passed by Ramid's starship, Ramid fired small-bore blaster shots at AG-37's freighter. Solo and her crew believed that a meteor had struck their starship and dispatched their Imperial comm droid to repair the surface damage. While performing its repair job, the droid spotted Ramid's seemingly-stricken vessel nearby. Ramid and his crew had deactivated their ship's atmospheric and communication systems and donned spacesuits, creating the impression that their starship had broken down in space. After AG-37's freighter came to their aid and docked with Ramid's starship, Solo and her companions boarded the vessel to offer help and assistance. She soon encountered Ramid and his crew, and the two former lovers shared a passionate kiss. Solo was surprised that Ramid had survived, prompting him to remark that he was tougher to kill than he appeared.
After introducing Ramid to her companions, Solo inquired whether they needed assistance, offering the services of her Mon Calamari engineer Sauk and even a ride somewhere. Ramid claimed that his ship's net isolator had been damaged by a space mine, which had fried the starship's systems. Since their deflector shield generator was down, they were unable to travel through the orbital minefield and had to await assistance. Due to her skills as a junk dealer, Solo was able to deduce that Ramid's starship needed a couple of new parts for the integration circuit. She then sent Sauk and her other companions, AG-37 and the Imperial Knight Jao Assam, back to AG-37's freighter to procure spare parts. When Solo was separated from her companions, Ramid claimed that he had something to discuss with her and led her into his starship.
Once Solo was safely aboard, Ramid's crew sealed the docking hatch and flew away from AG-37's freighter. Ramid's Twi'lek pilot and Nikto crew member then grabbed Ania from behind, restraining her and locking her in a makeshift holding cell. Before jumping into hyperspace, Ramid's ship opened fire on several nearby mines in an attempt to destroy or delay Solo's companions. However, her companions managed to survive the attack and quickly realized that she had been kidnapped. On Ramid's starship, Solo was locked in an improvised holding cell. When a Nikto crew member brought her refreshments, she demanded to see Ramid, which the guard refused. Solo hit the guard in the abdomen with a metal rod and made her way to the cockpit to confront Ramid.
However, Ramid's Twi'lek pilot quickly overpowered Solo and restrained her with a blaster rifle. At that point, Ramid resurfaced and forcibly led Solo back to her cell. When she protested and demanded an explanation for his actions, he expressed his anger towards her for leaving him behind at the Imperial prison camp on Drash-So. He also revealed that he wanted to collect the Triumvirate bounty on her head as revenge for her alleged betrayal on Drash-So. When Solo denied killing the Imperial Knight, Ramid refused to believe her and told her to be thankful that he and his crew were taking her to the authorities alive. Solo tried to explain her side of the story, but Ramid furiously slammed the door in her face, leaving her in her holding cell.
After dealing with Solo, Ramid returned to the cockpit only to learn from his Twi'lek pilot that they were short on fuel. The pilot explained that their cold hyperspace jump had consumed more fuel than they had expected. Short on fuel, Ramid and his crew decided to land on the fourth world of an unnamed star system, which was home to a small outpost. This planet was an inhospitable planet with clouds that contained acidic vapor and rained molten silica or shards of glass. Despite the inhospitable nature of their destination, Ramid's crew had few choices due to the remote location of the star system. While descending into the planet's surface, Ramid's freighter was attacked by a TIE Bomber, a relic from the Galactic Civil War. Due to the poor quality of the ship's deflector shields, the smaller and more maneuverable TIE Bomber inflicted damage on Ramid's ship, killing his Twi'lek pilot.
Bereft of a pilot, Ramid dragged Solo out from her cell and forced her to land his ship. At the helm of Ramid's freighter, she struggled to land the heavy ship while dodging laser blasts from the TIE Bomber. Following a steep dive, she landed the freighter, damaging the cockpit and killing Ramid's Nikto crew mate in the process. Ramid was alive but unconscious and wounded. A mysterious bounty hunter then emerged from the TIE Bomber, which had landed nearby, and demanded that Ania surrender. After sending a medical droid to treat the wounded Ramid, Solo confronted the bounty hunter and temporarily incapacitated her with a blast to her helmet. Solo then fled into the planet's wilderness but was shortly later recaptured by the bounty hunter.
Having regained consciousness, Ramid left his starship on a speeder bike to find Solo. By the time he had found her, the masked bounty hunter had captured Solo and was about to load the prisoner aboard the her TIE Bomber. However, Ramid rammed into the bounty hunter with his speeder bike, knocking her unconscious. Solo then grabbed the bounty hunter's blaster pistol and pointed it at Ramid, still distrusting him. However, Ramid convinced her to come with him since he was "the best option" that she had.
Due to a "glass-storm", Ramid and Solo were forced to take shelter under the latter's speeder bike. During that time, they reconciled their differences. When Solo asked Ramid whether he could have crashed on a nicer planet, he retorted that he was not the one pilot the ship. Her hand was cut by a shard of glass and he urged her to wrap it up. He apologized for his actions and said that hurting her had not been part of his plan. Solo recalled that she had not seen a laser whip since their time at the Imperial prison camp on Drash-So, and she also confided that there was something eerily familiar about the mysterious bounty hunter she had encountered. Ramid then discussed his plan to travel to the outpost and escape offworld before the bounty hunter caught up with them.
Solo then confronted Ramid on why he had kidnapped her despite knowing that she did not kill the Imperial Knight. Ramid admitted that he had been bitter about her leaving him behind during her escape from the Sith labor camp. Solo explained that she had fled because she thought that he had been shot dead by the guard. She had kept on running because she knew that the guard would have shot her dead. She also had witnessed the guards dragging him away and presumed that he was dead. She then escaped offworld which she admitted was not a proud thing. When Ramid suggested that she could have returned, Solo recalled that the prison camp had been liberated at the end of the Second Imperial Civil War and that there was no way for her to ascertain that Ramid had survived.
Ramid then related how he had been thrown into solitary confinement and beaten up by the guards. The only reason the Sith had kept him alive was because they wanted to know Solo's whereabouts. In the end, Ramid had broken down and told them. However, Solo had fled by then to the Carreras system so the guards assumed he had lied and further beat him. Solo apologized for the beatings and tortures which Ramid had endured and the two reconciled. As the storm began to deteriorate, they witnessed several beetles approaching. However, the beetles were not interested in them and proceeded to devour the glass shards. Solo and Ramid then sheltered under the giant beetles.
Once the storm had abated, both Ramid and Solo expressed their relief at being saved from the "glass storm" by the beetles. Ramid then announced their intention to journey to the settlement, where they planned to utilize its comm system to escape off-world. Solo agreed to accompany him on the journey after securing a promise that he would contact her friends rather than the Triumvirate authorities. He then expressed regret for embarking on a reckless mission that resulted in the deaths of several of his closest friends. He acknowledged that his animosity towards her had been misguided and asked for her forgiveness. Solo forgave him, commenting that she was not one to hold grudges. Ramid remarked that their relationship would have been different without the war, but she urged him to forget the past and focus on the present.
By this point, Solo's friends had arrived on the acid rain planet. The assassin droid AG-37 discovered her whereabouts and transmitted Solo and Ramid's coordinates to Sauk and Jao Assam, who were crewing AG-37's freighter. Upon arriving at the settlement, Ramid and Solo found it abandoned. Suspecting something was amiss, they split up and searched the buildings for any sign of danger. Ramid then stumbled upon a computer console and discovered that the station had transmitted a distress call. Looking out the window, he saw the masked bounty hunter's TIE Bomber parked nearby. Realizing Solo was in danger, he quickly went to find her. Meanwhile, Solo had discovered the corpses of the settlement's inhabitants, which had been piled in a room. She was then ambushed by the bounty hunter, who used her laser whip to ensnare Solo around the neck.
Ramid then appeared and attacked the bounty hunter from behind. He managed to stab her breathing apparatus with a knife, but she proved to be a formidable opponent and threw Ramid against a wall. The bounty hunter then proceeded to strangle Ramid, who attempted to break free by stabbing her prosthetic hand. However, the bounty hunter broke Ramid's neck, killing him, and threw his body to the ground. Before the bounty hunter could deal with Solo, her Imperial Knight friend Jao Assam arrived and engaged the bounty hunter in combat with his lightsaber. Following a lengthy confrontation, Solo and Assam succeeded in killing the bounty hunter. However, Solo was then arrested by a squad of stormtroopers who took her to Coruscant to face trial for her alleged crime. Due to evidence uncovered by Imperial Knights Yalta Val and Assam, Ania Solo was exonerated. She was deeply saddened by Ramid's death but was able to move on with her life thanks to her new friends. Despite the trouble Ramid caused her, he redeemed himself in her eyes by sacrificing his life to protect her from the bounty hunter, an old enemy from their days at the Drash-So prison camp.
Ramid was a skilled and capable starship captain who enjoyed a good rapport with his crew members. At one point, he shared a romantic relationship with Ania Solo, but their relationship deteriorated after she left him behind during an escape attempt from an Imperial labor camp on Drash-So. Due to his horrific experiences at the Imperial prison camp, he developed a deep sense of resentment and grievance towards her for what he perceived as her wrongdoings. His resentment led him to embark on a reckless mission to kidnap her and sell her to the Triumvirate authorities for credits. However, the deaths of his crew at the hands of a masked bounty hunter, who was also hunting Solo, forced Ramid to join forces with his enemy. Despite his grievances, Ramid found it within himself to forgive Solo. Ramid then compensated for the harm he had inflicted on Solo by sacrificing his life in an attempt to save her from the masked bounty hunter.
Ramid appeared in Star Wars: Legacy Volume II Book 3—Wanted: Ania Solo, the third story arc in Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman's Star Wars: Legacy Volume 2. He was designed by Jimmy Presler, drawn by Gabriel Hardman, and colored by Jordan Boyd.
