The Ylesian Dream was originally a droid freighter owned and operated by the Besadii Hutt clan used for transporting spice. When the freighter made its way to Trader's Luck, a young Han Solo stowed away on board, bound for Ylesia. However, being a droid freighter, there was no life support, thus Solo had to wear a spacesuit for the duration of the long, cold journey. Finally arriving at Ylesia, Solo had to wrest control of the ship in order to navigate the planet's turbulent atmosphere. Solo was able to land the ship with minimal damage, impressing the t'landa Til enough to enthusiastically hire him as their pilot.
