The Kessel Run is a hyperspace route in the Star Wars universe, primarily used by smugglers to transport spice from the planet Kessel. This route is notorious for its dangerous navigation, as it passes through regions filled with gravitational anomalies and Imperial patrols. In the lore, the Kessel Run is famous for its distance being measured in parsecs, which is a unit of distance rather than time. The legendary pilot Han Solo famously completed the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, showcasing his exceptional piloting skills and the speed of his ship, the Millennium Falcon.
