Han Solo claimed that the Millennium Falcon made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs in the Star Wars universe. This is a strange boast as parsecs are a unit of length, not time. However, it is generally interpreted to mean that Solo was able to pilot the Falcon through the dangerous Kessel Run in a shorter distance than most other pilots, which required a skilled navigator and a certain amount of risk-taking. The Kessel Run is a difficult and treacherous route through the galaxy, and Solo's claim is a testament to his piloting skills and the power of the Millennium Falcon.
