Venerated Ones
the title given to the leaders of the Vandel and Helm families in each generation of metalsmiths on Vandelhelm. Just before the Battle of Endor, the Venerated Ones were whisked off the planet when it became apparent that galactic power was going to change hands. They were two young children, the last heirs to the Vandel and Helm lines, and were given over to Alliance supporters on Ord Vaug. Following the Battle, Han Solo was contracted to pick them up on Ord Vaug and return them to Vandelhelm, an action which would help restore ore shipments to Fondor. They were necessary because they held the control codes which could be used to move the ore convoy out of the system. The older child was a strong-willed young woman named Lilli, while the younger was an obnoxious boy named Endro.
