Berethron e Solo was a King of Corellia. He ruled during the Golden Age of the Old Republic, and introduced democracy in the Corellian empire.
Biography
In 312 BBY he abolished his absolute rule and moved the planetary government toward a constitutional monarchy.
Legacy
Han Solo and his cousin Thrackan Sal-Solo were both thought to be Berethron's descendants. In 8 ABY, C-3PO invoked that lineage to prove Solo's worthiness to marry Leia Organa before the Hapan Royal House. Han's great-grandfather, Korol Solo, was a presumed descendant of Berethron, and used that to put a forward a claim as pretender to the throne of the Corellian empire, but was hanged for his crimes.
