An alien who calls himself Squishmael is willing to tell us the true story of Han Solo's Kessel Run for only the price of a drink. Apparently, after Han won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian, Lando let slip something about the Kessel Run and how you won't be respected as a smuggler until you've completed it as quickly as possible. Supposedly Kessel are a type of bird, and to complete the Kessel Run you have to fill your hold with these birds and deliver them to someone. Han does complete it, and very quickly, but it ends up costing him 20,000 credits. He goes to deliver the Kessel, only to discover that it was all a scam. The card players tricked him so they could recoup their losses against Han.
