Ben Skywalker was the only child of Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker. He was born in 30 ABY, a little less than a year after the end of the Stellar Imperial War. Ben joined the Jedi Academy on Coruscant at the age of five. He was followed by Nilla Solo, the daughter of Ben's cousin Jaina Solo, in the next year. Two years after that, Allana Djo and Verayan Solo also joined them at the Academy. The last of the group was Xander Horn, the only one who was not related to the others by blood. However, their parents were all close. Ben graduated from the Academy in 47 ABY.
