The Imperial officer Cerasus Ehllo, a human, belonged to a family. Ehllo stated that his father was acquainted with Emperor Palpatine. Sometime between 3 ABY and 4 ABY, Cerasus entered into marriage with Aryssha from the Starros Clan, who then became pregnant with twins. Subsequent to Cerasus' retrieval of Aryssha from the Starros family homestead to ensure the children's birth under Imperial protection, the Starros Clan commenced a rescue mission. During the capture of Cerasus' ship, the King's Ransom, by both the Starros Clan and the Genetian Collective, Aryssha delivered her and Cerasus' offspring, two girls named Desana and Thevera. Simultaneously, Cerasus found himself jettisoned in an escape pod into the Hynestian sector, vowing to Phel Starros that he would reunite with his family.
