Shortly before the Battle of Hoth Theus Paddox's long lost brother and sister were discovered onboard the Regal Destiny starship by Captain Nils Wender and the crew of the Bright Seeker. Trad Paddox and Verinia Paddox were evacuated during the Mecetti purge along with other Pelagian Nobles and the children's governess Mistress Winslo. A Mecetti agent was able to infiltrate the ship and released a deadly bio-agent into the air supply in an attempt to prevent the Pelagian noble from escaping. The children were frozen in stasis but all others onboard were killed. The children were discovered 20 years later.
