These beautiful sisters were interested in only one thing: separating men from their money. Humanoid-appearing Kiffu, Brea and Senni Tonnika were abandoned as youngsters and taken in and raised by colonists on Kiffex. Manipulative and clever, they turned friend against friend in order to squeeze credits out of the colonists. They left the planet with a bedazzled scout and continued their scams all over the galaxy. Often, only one sister would appear at a time, using the combined name Bresenni, in order to pull their intrigues. At Han Solo's instigation, they pulled such a trick on Lando Calrissian -- well before either got involved with the Rebellion. Calrissian laughed out loud at the joke, but plotted to get back at Solo.
The Tonnika sisters didn't find an amused victim in Imperial Grand Moff Argon, whom they conned out of 25,000 credits. He sent hordes of stormtroopers searching for them. The sisters' infamy had spread so widely that near-identical look-alikes masqueraded as them. In fact, when the Tonnikas were attending a seven-week party at Jabba the Hutt's palace on Tatooine, the Mistryl Shadow Guards Shada D'ukal and Karoly D'ulin assumed the sisters' identities during an unplanned visit to Tatooine. The phony Tonnikas were at the Mos Eisley cantina and were arrested by stormtroopers searching for C-3PO, R2-D2, and their masters. Both the impostors and the real Tonnika sisters managed to get off Tatooine to work their scams elsewhere in the galaxy.
