Born during the Imperial occupation on the planet Ryloth, the twin sisters Ysera and Kasula Daegella are celebrities among the galactic racing community. Famous as holostars in addition to their reputation in the races, their talents as Pilots are unmatched to all but a select few contenders.

History

Origins

Holostardom

Landing their first appointment with a well-known sponsor, Kuat Drive Yards, Ysera and Kasula Daegella became overnight holostars. An instant sensation, their first race along the Corellian Run was a success that earned them second placement after a 42-hour long race. Their rise to fame cumulated in just three months, appearing on the front cover of Holonet magazines and having their likenesses appear on merchandise. Blastech Industries was among one of the first arms manufacturers that saw the value to investing in the duo, having their logo displayed alongside the likes of Kuat Drive Yards and Rendili Star Drive.

Known as much for their looks as their talents as starship pilots, the Daegella sisters increased their following after releasing a series of fashion magazines published by their sponsors and distributed across the Core Worlds. As their industries molded into each other, fans flocked to their races, betting on victories for the Twi'lek sisters whenever their credit chips allowed.

Games Without Rules

Urged by the banking clans to broaden their sponsorships, Ysera and Kasula sought after increasingly dangerous races far from the Core Worlds. Going as far as the Outer and Mid Rim, the sisters went where the Core World's Holonet new outlets wouldn't dare go. However, investors with deeper pockets—gangsters and criminals—watched and betted from their sheltered hideouts. Possessing little protection in a game with few rules and regulations, the sisters began to draw dangerous enemies and few friends. At the behest of Blastech Industries, the Daegella sisters learned the rudiments of using DL-18 Blaster Pistols to ward off those who might venture too close to their starship.

As a show of good faith from a rival, the sisters were given an astromech outfitted with basic defense mechanisms. However, the droid was in fact a BT-1 series assassin droid programmed to terminate one, or both of the Daegella sisters. Fortunately, the droid malfunctioned following a botched reset, installing overrides that did not allow it to harm the sisters; rather, it was overridden to protect them from harm. Aware of this programming override, it was forced to go against its original purpose, but hid its most violent protocols from the sisters' notice.

The Black Sun

Gaining something of a ruthless reputation and rumoured to have killed off some of the top competition, one of the gangs saw profits where the others felt investment was too risky. The Black Sun, a crime organization unparalleled in reach offered vast sums of credits for their services as racers. Knowing full well that the truth was more complicated, the sisters nonetheless were molded to take risks and launched themselves into criminal dealings. Filling a niche in the criminal underworld between smugglers and no-holds-barred racing, Ysera and Kasula referred to themselves as "couriers." Where time was a matter of importance to intercept a specific parcel or communication, the Daegella sisters were given the task to race against the clock, or in some cases, rivals to complete the objective. Unlike smugglers, discretion was discouraged; wherever the sisters went, the Black Sun wished others to know the sphere of their influence. Painting the Black Sun onto the hull of their vessel while making such runs, the Daegella sisters' dealings with the Black Sun went unfounded while the vessel (and thus, the Black Sun) was recognized as being the one that finished these missions ahead of the competition.

The Brotherhood

Race Along The Perlemian Trade Route

Returning to race against challengers to their fame, Ysera and Kasula Dargella were given a contract to participate in a grand race along the entire Perlemian Trade Route. Perceiving a shortcut that would cut across a substantial length of the trade route, the sisters instead encountered an uncharted anomaly, the Palioxis Cloud nebula. The immediate loss of their navigational systems proved a minor hindrance to their combined knowledge and skill, but the dense asteroid fields were a nightmare to behold. Having lost their original heading after avoiding a near-death experience, the sisters drifted through the nebula without a sense of direction. Before either one could find their bearings, the two were forced to surrender to Sephi pirates operating within a carved-out asteroid who took note of the starship's design and linked it to the Black Sun.

It did not take long for the Vatali Empire to afford the ransom the pirates charged for their safe release to Kiast, nor for a trial to begin in the High Court on the crimes of trespass and criminal doing. Indebted to the Vatali for the ransom, the sisters were offered the choice between service or imprisonment. Choosing the former, Ysera and Kasula were then handed off as agents to the Sentinel Network—a collection of spies and intelligence operatives that sought to undermine a larger collective known as "The Brotherhood." Unaware of the existence or influence of the moniker, the sisters found themselves pulled into something larger than their civilian stature, and far more dangerous.

Appearance

Ysera Daegella is an identical mirror image of her twin sister, Kasula Daegella. White-skinned, the sisters’ daily ritual includes complementing their appearances with brightly-colored cosmetics, preferring shades of blue. Although the Daegella sisters have eschewed the exotic dancing trade, both Ysera and Kasula maintain their shapely, athletic figures for their audience. Long, unadorned lekku can most often be seen hanging behind the twins' shoulders or carefully  wrapped around them. Capped at the sides with cone-shaped hearing organs, the sisters' identically-proportioned faces are devoid of blemishes. Known for being so attractive as to not need to surround themselves with good-looking entourages, the twins instead groom themselves before and after a race, in order to have the most Holonet coverage.

Clothing

Ysera and Kasula Daegella coordinate outfits better than most tacticians can coordinate airstrikes. Usually seen in matching  racing outfits as opposed to full flight suits, their regular wardrobe balances function with a suitable amount of shown skin for their viewers. These outfits can range, most often chosen to represent their sponsors in a chosen event. Almost invisible at a glance, some of their outfits conceal a holster for a DL-18 blaster pistol, warding off troublemakers and potential saboteurs.

When off the race course, Ysera and Kasula might also be seen in garments reflecting the current fashion, or dressed for the occasion. Possessing a sizable wardrobe, it is not uncommon to see the sisters dressed in elegant Fleuréline for a formal setting, and later in risqué shimmersilk lingerie on the front cover of the Holonet news.
