Veila family

The Veila family was a Force-sensitive bloodline from Tatooine. Due to Tatooine's distance from the Core and the fact that the Jedi Order had been long been destroyed, they were never detected. Like many families on that desert world, they owned a moisture farm.

Tryst and Cassa took in an injured Tusken Raider by the name of Sliven. The family nursed him back to health, and often sparred with him to hone each others fighting skills. In 15 ABY, Sliven's tribe, still searching for him after his disappearance months earlier, witnessed one such sparring match. Mistaking it for a battle, the Sandpeople attacked and killed Tryst and Cassa. Sliven convinced the tribe to spare the orphaned Tahiri, and took her in as his own daughter. Tahiri was then raised by the Sandpeople tribe until 22 ABY, when she was discovered to be Force-sensitive by Tionne Solusar.
