House Vahali/Legends

House Vahali was a family, that originated on the planet Kaikielius.

History
The Vahalii were present on Kaikielius during the early years of the Galactic Republic and had a rivalry with House Praji, another Kaikieli family. After the Prajii left Kaikielius in 4,800 BBY, House Vahali consolidated its influence on the planet and members of it got elected into all levels of the planetary government. However, when piracy began to increase on Kaikielius, the problems caused by it cost the Vahalii a lot of their money.

During the Kaikieli Reconquista in 4,225 BBY, the pirates were driven from Kaikielius, leaving House Vahali free to rebuild the planet as they wished.

Thousands of years later, Kaikielius was attacked by the Galactic Empire during Operation Shadow Hand and Nahdonnis Praji used the Shadow Hand Fleet to knock a skyhook owned by the Vahalii out of orbit, before placing the planet under martial law. The surviving Vahalii fled the planet and after the Yuuzhan Vong War, resurfaced on Denon, where they tried to create a new power base.
