These events fall in the middle of the lives of the three Solo children. They and their friends had years of experience before this story began, and some of them would go on to more adventures afterward. The universe belonged to their generation. The older heroes had retired. Luke and Mara Skywalker taught the young Jedi on Yavin 4, rarely leaving the Academy except in times of great need, in no small part because the students included their three young daughters. Leia Organa Solo, despite having retired from her position as Chief of State, remained on Coruscant in the lesser role of Senator. After the brief Yuuzhan Vong wars and the death of Chewbacca, Han Solo also retired, at least according to the public view.

Jaina Solo was twenty when she was pregnant with a set of twins who would later be known as the third generation of Jedi Twins. The father was assumed to be Zekk Dallinger, who married her before the twins were born. Later this was proven otherwise, though Jaina had never to her knowledge been with anyone other than Zekk. The father was never found, and Zekk was the children's father in every way that mattered. However, the marriage was rocky, and after four years, the couple separated. Jaina took the children to stay with a friend, Kanyen Elbakni, at first intending to return to Zekk after a while. Fate and Elbakni had other plans. The last the children saw of their mother was while they watched from hiding as she tried and failed to hold off a unit of stormtroopers. Soon they were found and brought to their new master.

Jaina's twin, Jacen Solo, wedded Tenel Ka, the Queen of Dathomir and heir to Hapes cluster. Her people would not accept him as an equal ruler, but he was her trusted counselor as well as faithful husband. They had two daughters-Kirinna, the heir to Dathomir, and Kasaia, the heir to Hapes. The two lived fairly peacefully, balancing the different aspects of their lives, until the disappearance of Jacen's sister, niece, and nephew disrupted their peaceful existence.

Anakin, the youngest Solo, met Miri Ramanan once as a child. Six years later, when they met again, she was the young widow of Kryztofar Golden, with an infant son and another on the way. Anakin and Miri fell deeply in love, married, and had a daughter. They lived at the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, training the young Jedi students-Anakin, in the ways of the Force, and Miri, in other skills ranging from history and philosophy to the Force-deprived combat and tracking she had learned as a bounty hunter's apprentice. They worked together to give balance to the trainees' education, as they would later work together, perfect complements to each other, in the search for Jaina and the twins.
