Vellis San Tekka

Vellis San Tekka was a human male who was one of the heads of the San Tekka clan, a family that helped chart new paths through hyperspace for the Galactic Republic and achieved great wealth from doing so. He lived during the High Republic Era and resided in a compound on the planet Naboo alongside his husband Marlowe.

In 232 BBY, Jedi Master Avar Kriss and Jedi Knight Elzar Mann visited Vellis and his husband at their home on the planet Naboo. The Jedi asked them for help in calculating the next occurrences of the Emergences, large pieces of debris from the Legacy Run freighter that shot out of hyperspace at near-lightspeed as a result of the Great Hyperspace Disaster, and the husbands agreed to send their best analysts and programs to help Keven Tarr with his proposed system for calculating the timing and locations of the Emergences.

The Jedi also asked if they believed that the disaster could have been caused by the Legacy Run encountering another ship or foreign object in hyperspace, but Vellis and Marlowe insisted that was not the cause because it was impossible to encounter anything in hyperspace. However, the husbands secretly suspected what happened could have been related to Mari San Tekka, a member of the San Tekka clan with extraordinary abilities who had gone missing long ago. The husbands later visited the completed array and advised Chancellor Lina Soh on the Great Disaster, before hiring Tarr to work for them.
