Legend

this young man, the son of Ahlan Matale, was kidnapped some 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin. Ahlan, whose family had been in a feud with the Sandrals for many years, blamed the kidnapping on the Sandral family. He claimed that it was in retaliation for the destruction of several Sandral droids that had wandered onto the Matale Grounds. An investigation by the Jedi Knights revealed that Shen had been a prisoner at the Sandral Estate, but not because of the incident with the droids. Nurik Sandral had discovered that his own daughter, Rahasia, was in love with Shen, and they had been secretly meeting together in spite of the family feud. Nurik had Shen taken captive, but the Jedi Knights intervened and freed Shen. Nurik was forced to admit the kidnapping, and he and Ahlan formed a tenuous truce after learning of their children's love for one another.
