The Twi'lek colony planet of Aaloth was once governed by the family of Lourna Dee, a Tempest Runner, prior to the insurrection on Aaloth. This family maintained a palace on Aaloth as their primary residence, and also possessed an estate situated on Sirna, Aaloth's moon.
The group of family members consisted of Yudiah Dee, who was the Keeper of Aaloth, along with Inun, Haleena, and Lourna herself.
With the exception of Lourna Dee, her family initially surfaced in flashback sequences within The High Republic: Tempest Runner, an audio drama released on August 31, 2021. This audio drama was authored by Cavan Scott and featured a complete ensemble of voice actors. Lourna's initial appearance was in the novel The High Republic: Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule, which was released on January 5, 2021.
