Denuab Venithon

It is believed that Denuab, along with his brother Dorin Venithon, were born aboard an Ithorian Herdship as it traversed the Corellian territories. Their upbringing took place in the impoverished docklands of Corellia, suggesting they were abandoned or separated from their herd ship.

This difficult early life shaped the Venithons' values in a way that contrasted sharply with typical Ithorian beliefs. Instead of prioritizing peace and reverence for life, they craved power and control. They felt no remorse in taking away others' possessions, dignity, or even their lives, leading them down the path of piracy.

They acquired a Ghtroc freighter from an Elomin smuggler, who had obtained it through illicit means, with the original ownership records conveniently "missing." Registering it as the Venithon Bandit under both their names, they spent subsequent years upgrading it with components pilfered from newer Ghtroc models. Ultimately, only the original hull remained, but the Bandit became the Venithon Twins' sole vessel.

Denuab, being the more rational and educated of the pair, typically piloted the ship. He would disable security locks and return to the Bandit, leaving the more violent boarding actions to his brother. Despite this, Denuab always carried a blaster pistol for emergencies.

Throughout their careers, the Venithons were affiliated with various pirate organizations, including the Kliap Pirates, the Bandits of Ggy-ynt, the Yarnak Gang, and the Fivaran Organization.

While in the service of the Fivaran Organization, they collaborated with 46 other pirates in an attempt to hijack the Hauler VI, a Censian-class transport. However, the Venithons discovered that the Hauler's cargo consisted of 400 SpecForce Marines belonging to the Rebel Alliance. Choosing self-preservation, the Venithons abandoned their comrades, leaving them to face capture or death.

Later, they joined the Hy'thor pirate group, operating within the Mieru'kar sector under the command of Ompiach. The Venithons held positions on the leadership council, which reported to Ompiach, but they wielded significant influence over its members behind the scenes.

In 2 ABY, Ompiach tasked the Venithons with negotiating a treaty between his group and a rival pirate faction led by Safonne Pendon. Despite their preference for raiding, they accepted the assignment. Regrettably, the meeting devolved into a firefight. During the conflict, stray shots damaged a Rebel freighter carrying valuable cargo. The freighter crash-landed on a nearby planet, prompting the Venithons and their associates to pursue it in an attempt to loot its contents and prove their worth.
