Biography
Boshti Anilee was a Twi'lek dancer who trained for a year at the Dette Lawnic Dance Academy on the planet Alderaan with their romantic and professional partner, Hado Gwin. After completing their training, the couple joined the competitive circuit and became trophy winners in three sectors. They began following the First Light—a yacht belonging to Dryden Vos, the leader of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate—from port to port[1] and in 10 BBY[2] attended a party on the vessel while it was docked at Fort Ypso on the planet Vandor.[3]

At the party Anilee and Gwin spent their time among the other guests on the yacht's observation deck, where they danced to music performed by the singers Aurodia Ventafoli and Luleo Primoc. After the criminal Tobias Beckett and his gang entered the deck, the performance came to an end, and Anilee and Gwin applauded the singers along with the rest of the guests. The couple then spoke with a masked human, before moving further back toward the rear of the deck. The yacht later left Vandor, and Vos was killed not long after.[3]
