The human Imperial officer Cerasus Ehllo was a member of a family. According to Ehllo, his father knew Emperor Palpatine. By between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, Cerasus had married Aryssha of the Starros Clan, and she became pregnant with twins. After Cerasus retrieved Aryssha from the Starros family homestead so she could have their children in Imperial care, members of the Starros Clan set out to rescue her. During a capture of Cerasus' ship, the King's Ransom, by the Starros Clan and members of the Genetian Collective, Aryssha gave birth to her's and Cerasus' children, two girls who she named Desana and Thevera. Cerasus, meanwhile, was boarded into an escape pod and left in the Hynestian sector, swearing to Phel Starros he would get his family back.
