Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Pike Sisters were a pair of twin female Epicanthix composed of Zan Pike and Zu Pike.

In their youth, their mother sent them to Bunduki in order to be educated by the revered Followers of Palawa hermits. The twins studied history, literature and philosophy of the Sector, as well as physical discipline and martial arts, such as Teras Kasi, instructed to use it for the benefit of society. The sisters quickly rose through the ranks of their fellow students and then decided to use their mastery for personal profit.

They started their career as fighters in the Pacanth Reach and from there their career expanded within the illegal combat scene, traveling between hidden arenas and secretly in pleasure halls to entertain high-class beings. Cunning, ambitious and distrustful, they cooperated with nobody and acted as their own booking agents.

After the death of Prince Xizor, they changed their names, referring to themselves as the Pikkel Sisters.

They were noted for their beauty, ruthlessness. They wore Palawa tunics, and never used weapons; except blades attached to the tips of their braids, which caused harm as they moved them. Despite their cold lack of emotion, they both carried along with them satchels with personal mementos.
