'Han Solo & the Lost Legacy' log-recording

In this blog I've added every 'SW'-terminology that appears in 'Han Solo & the Lost Legacy'. After all these years, the Brian Daley Trilogy of Han and Chewie still ranks very high in my favourite 'SW'-booklist. I was very glad when I was able to pick-up 'Han Solo and the Corporate Sector Sourcebook' from West End Games. But unfortunately Han's adventures in the Tion Hegemony from the 'Lost Legacy' were not included (except for several smaller pieces). That's why I kind of wanted to make this blog entry as an appendix for the other fans of the classic Solo novels.
