Cathea

Cathea was a young Human female whose parents went to Ylesia as "pilgrims" with her. During the Battle of Ylesia, which took place during the Galactic Civil War, Cathea and other children such as Kryss P'teska, Aeron and Tym were abandoned by their parents, who had been enthralled by the Exultation. Cathea and the children hid together in a basement and were eventually found by Han Solo and Chewbacca after the raid.

Since demolition bombs were set to level the building within a matter of minutes, the rescuers had no other option but to take the children with them. Although Solo intended to drop the children off at the next spaceport, Chewbacca advocated for taking them to Corellia.

While bringing a load of spice from Kessel to Tatooine on orders from Jabba the Hutt, the group was discovered by an Imperial patrol. Cathea and three of the other children helped Solo jettison the illegal cargo in order to evade arrest. The smuggler convinced the Imperials that he was taking the children to Corellia. As the Captain Tybert Capucot insisted to escort them, the Millennium Falcon dropped the children off at Corellia, thus returning Cathea back to her home planet.
