Yesula's species

The child Yesula and her father were members of a sentient species. At some point no earlier than 227 BBY, multiple members of the species were present on the astronomical object Veek when the home of Yesula and her father caught fire. They were rescued by Jedi Master Kelnacca and his Padawan, Yarzion Vell. Once they escaped, Vell returned to the building to save their droid, Zeekay, whose databank had holos of Yesula's deceased mother.

==History==
During the High Republic Era, the child Yesula and her father were members of the species. At some point no earlier than 227 BBY,The section of The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1 in which Yesula appears occurs at least three years after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY. their home on the Outer Rim astronomical object Veek caught on fire. The two were rescued by Jedi Master Kelnacca and his Padawan, Yarzion Vell, who used the Force to protect them from the flames as Yesula was carried by her father out of the building. Two other members of the species also fled the building, and several others were present nearby and watched as it and the surrounding buildings burned.
Once Yesula and her father escaped safely, the Jedi learned that their droid, Zeekay, was still inside. Although Yesula's father told them it did not matter, Yesula stated that Zeekay had holos of her deceased mother in his databank, and that losing the droid would be like losing her mother again. Vell then reentered the burning building and rescued Zeekay, returning him to Yesula. Later, Yesula watched as Vell tattooed his own name on the head of Kelnacca, who wished to follow the tradition of his Padawan's home planet. By 133 BBY,"Day"—which the events of take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes that Kelnacca had lived on Khofar for at least a year. As the present day events of The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1 occur before Kelnacca lived on Khofar, they must take place by 133 BBY. as Vell was dying, he mentioned Yesula and her father to his own Padawan, Ordea, while telling them about his training under Kelnacca.
==Behind the scenes==
Yesula's species appeared in a flashback in the one-shot comic The Acolyte - Kelnacca 1, written by Cavan Scott, illustrated by Marika Cresta, and published by Marvel Comics on September 4, 2024.
