San Tekka clan

The San Tekka clan, also known as the San Tekka empire or the San Tekka family, was a clan that was active during the High Republic Era. The family rose from humble roots as a family of hardscrabble hyperspace prospectors. By the time of the Supreme Chancellorship of Lina Soh it had become a dynasty at the forefront of technology that allowed for the expansion of the Galactic Republic. However, the clan kept secret the cost of their rise to prominence; the Force-sensitive Mari San Tekka had been able to detect Paths through hyperspace. She was eventually stolen away from the San Tekkas by the Ro family. During Lina Soh's tenure as Chancellor, the clan was led by scions Marlowe and Vellis. Lor San Tekka was a member of the family during the New Republic Era, by which point the clan's influence had seen a steep decline.
