Fadoop
- "Anything for Solo-my-friend. Are we not soulsealed buddies, you, me, and the Big One here, this Wookiee?"
- ―Fadoop, to Han Solo
Fadoop was a female Saheelindeeli who, during the era of the Galactic Civil War, worked as a local wheeler-dealer on her home planet of Saheelindeel in the Tion Hegemony. Working out of a cobbled-together ship she called Skybarge, Fadoop was both unusually overweight and outgoing for her species, doing much of her business with offworld visitors. In 2 BBY Fadoop became an acquaintance of the Corellian smuggler Han Solo, who visited Saheelindeel while working as a mechanic on Grigmin's Traveling Airshow. Fadoop developed a friendly relationship with Solo and his first mate Chewbacca, trading parts with the offworlders in between cargo deliveries. Fadoop even allowed Solo to borrow her ship when Solo decided to quit his job working for the hotshot pilot Grigmin, using Skybarge to humiliate Grigmin with his superior flying skills.[1]
