The Millennium Falcon was the famous personal smuggling starship of Han Solo and Chewbacca. The Falcon began life as a standard Corellian Engineering Corporation YT-1300 stock light freighter. Solo won it from Lando Calrissian in the Cloud City Sabacc Tournament. Under both Calrissian and Solo, the ship endured many adventures and upgrades which led to its dilapidated exterior appearance, and played a vital role in the Galactic Civil War.

The Millennium recorded one album, the highly influential, yet commercially unsuccessful Begin in 1968. The album was an interesting combinition of breezy pop and psychedelic rock. At the time, it was the most expensive record Columbia had ever produced. Before disbanding, the group recorded one last follow-up single: Just About The Same b/w Blight, as well as several tracks that were later released on compilations. Curt Boettcher went on to make several attempts at recording solo albums (only one was released during his lifetime, the album There's An Innocent Face), as did Sandy Salisbury and Joey Stec. Michael Fennelly would end up in the early 70s group Crabby Appleton, who signed with Elektra Records (probably because of Jac Holzman, who was a huge fan of Begin and who ... signed Curt Boettcher to a solo deal) and released two albums, scoring a top-40 hit with the single Go Back.

The bulk of the Project's work was carried out by 10 thematic Task Forces, each of which ... presented its own detailed recommendations in January 2005. The Task Forces comprised a total of more than 250 experts from around the world including: researchers and scientists; policymakers; representatives of NGOs, UN agencies, the World Bank, IMF and the private sector.
