- Organization Name: House Denko
- Classification: Family / Noble House
- Affiliation(s):
- Organization Symbol: The Wavecutter
- Description: House Denko stands as one of Naboo’s noble lineages—its bloodline forged through tragedy, exile, and redemption. Founded in the wake of political scandal, the House emerged as a union between two noble lines whose names were tarnished by betrayal and abandonment. Through the deliberate act of creating a new, unblemished name, House Denko secured its place within the aristocracy of Naboo while honoring its mixed heritage of Jedi discipline, Kraljica resilience, and mercantile success through the Skywind Reserve vineyards.
Today, House Denko exists as both an influential noble house and a symbol of perseverance. Its members are scattered across the galaxy—some warriors, some politicians, some scholars, all bound by the bloodline’s legacy of survival and reinvention.
- Headquarters: Selton, Naboo
- Domain: House Denko’s primary claim lies in the ownership and operation of the Skywind Reserves, a renowned vineyard and winery headquartered in the city of Selton, Naboo. Nestled within rolling hills and fertile lowlands, Selton is celebrated for its ideal climate and rich soil—conditions that make it one of the most desirable regions for viticulture on the planet.
The Skywind Reserves estate spans much of the countryside surrounding Selton, with expansive vineyards that produce some of Naboo’s finest wines. This agricultural success has not only secured the family’s economic strength but also deeply woven the Denko name into the fabric of the local community. Over generations, House Denko has become a pillar of Selton’s identity—respected patrons, benefactors, and power brokers whose counsel is often sought in matters of commerce, land disputes, and regional governance.
Within Selton and the surrounding estates, the influence of House Denko is significant. While they hold no official political office within the city, their economic footprint and social standing grant them considerable sway. In many local matters—whether decisions regarding trade agreements, land development, or community initiatives—the word of the Denko patriarch or matriarch carries weight, with town leaders and fellow nobles frequently consulting and, more often than not, deferring to their judgment.
Though their reach does not rival the political dominion of the Royal House or Naboo’s larger noble families, within Selton and its neighboring lands, the House of Denko is sovereign in all but name.
Beyond Naboo’s borders, House Denko possesses another rare and potent form of influence: their status as the sole outworlder family with established, peaceful relations with the Kraljica of Morje—the aquatic people from whom the Denko bloodline partially descends. Due to their ancestral ties through Vetka of Clan Denko, the heiress of the Kraljica, House Denko holds a unique position as the only foreign power permitted to engage directly with the Kraljica clans.
This relationship allows House Denko to facilitate limited trade, cultural exchange, and diplomatic contact between Morje and the wider galaxy—an honor no other outworlder has been granted. While the Kraljica remain deeply isolationist, they recognize the blood of Vetka in the Denko line, offering respect and dialogue where others are met with silence or hostility. This connection further bolsters House Denko’s reputation across certain circles as quiet but capable intermediaries between worlds, securing them influence not just on Naboo, but across the Outer Rim and beyond.

- Membership: Membership is restricted to blood descendants and those who marry into the family with formal approval.

- Climate: Internally, House Denko operates with a complex mixture of duty, loyalty, and tension. The scars of past abuses and losses linger beneath the surface, and family relationships often walk the line between genuine affection and hard-earned mistrust. While recent generations strive for unity and healing, the family remains marked by the struggles of its forebears. The atmosphere is one of measured pride—honor without arrogance, ambition without cruelty.
. - Reputation: Among Naboo’s nobility, House Denko is viewed with a mix of respect and caution. Its history is known, its scandals not forgotten—but neither are its triumphs. Outsiders often perceive the Denkos as survivors, capable of adaptation and reinvention, but sometimes question whether their blood runs closer to nobility or outlaw. Among the common folk, the House is known primarily for its Skywind wines and periodic acts of generosity, such as funding local schools, maintaining veteran memorials, and sponsoring cultural events.

I. Origins: The Bond of Land and Sea (770 ABY – 814 ABY)
House Denko traces its origins to a fateful union during the Four Hundred Year Darkness. A Jedi Knight named Wy’lad of Naboo, taken as an infant by the Jedi Order, was born of noble blood—his ancestry tied to one of Naboo’s princely families. Though raised apart from the politics of his heritage, Wy’lad's lineage remained legitimate and intact.
By 789 ABY, Wy’lad had risen to the rank of Jedi Knight and ventured into the galaxy to confront the growing shadows of the era. His travels led to a crash landing on the uncharted ocean world of Morje, home of the Kraljica, an aquatic people with deep spiritual ties to the Force. There, Wy’lad was rescued by Vetka, heiress of Clan Denko among the Kraljica. Through their bond of love, Vetka and Wy’lad brought into the world the first human-Kraljica hybrid, Radia Denko.
Yet tragedy marked their union. Radia, unable to live beneath the seas, was taken by Wy’lad back to the Jedi Order, leaving Vetka and the waters of Morje behind. The heartbreak of this parting would echo across generations.
II. Fire and Redemption: The Founding of House Denko (810 ABY – 814 ABY)
Returning to Naboo as a man older and tempered by loss, Wy’lad Denko sought not only peace but a way to reconcile his dual heritage. Fate placed him at the center of a political scandal when he uncovered a plot to assassinate the monarch of Naboo—a scheme that involved the Skywind Reserves, one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious viticulture estates.
The plot, orchestrated by members of one of Naboo’s noble families, threatened to stain the entire bloodline with disgrace. Yet among the conspirators was an innocent heiress, a woman of noble standing who bore no guilt for her family’s crime. In the political and social chaos that followed the exposure of the plot, Wy’lad made a bold choice: he wed the heiress, uniting their holdings and futures beneath a new banner.
Thus was born House Denko in 814 ABY—a deliberate act of rebirth and political reinvention. Both Wy’lad and the heiress were of noble blood, but their respective families carried scars—one from treachery, the other from abandonment. Together, they forged a name unblemished by scandal, distanced from the stains of their forebears, while retaining their place within Naboo’s aristocracy.
This union ensured that the descendants of House Denko would not forfeit their eligibility to stand for Naboo’s most sacred office—the monarchy itself—under the Royal Accords. It was a legacy built on redemption, honor, and the resilience to overcome history’s harshest judgments. And it stood as Wy’lad’s silent homage to Vetka, whose name lives on through the House’s crest.
III. Fall and Fire: The Children of Radia (816 ABY – 842 ABY)
While Wy’lad restored the family name on Naboo, his son Radia Denko—born of the sea and trained as a Jedi Knight—walked a darker path. After accidentally killing his Padawan in a tragic training accident, Radia fled the Jedi Order, consumed by guilt. He vanished into the streets of Nar Shaddaa, carving out a violent existence as a mercenary and enforcer.
There, Radia met Passion, a Zeltron entertainer, and together they raised a large family under the shadow of Nar Shaddaa’s criminal underworld. Their children—Josiah, Abel, Keziah, Jax, Swava, and others—were born into hardship, bearing the weight of their father’s self-loathing and addiction. Yet amid abuse and poverty, Radia’s instruction in the Force gave his children a weapon to survive.
The family’s fragile stability shattered when Passion was murdered by a violent client. Radia’s vengeful retribution brought down the wrath of the Hutt cartels, who swiftly executed him in the alleys of Nar Shaddaa. Orphaned and adrift, the Denko children scattered. Josiah sought solace and purpose in the Jedi Order. Abel, hardened by loss, entered the Black Suns as an enforcer to provide for his siblings. Each child would find their own path through exile, struggle, and rebellion—but none would forget where they came from.
IV. Restoration and Legacy: The Return to Naboo (842 ABY – 860 ABY)
By 842 ABY, disillusioned with life among criminals, Abel Denko abandoned the Black Suns and sought to reclaim a different legacy. Fortune brought him to Naboo, where the noble House Denko still stood as a respected name, its vineyards flourishing. Under the guidance of Serian Loria, Abel embraced the Light once more, shedding the weight of his past and reconnecting with his heritage.
When the aged Wy’lad passed, Abel was named his successor as Lord of House Denko. Under Abel’s stewardship, the House not only preserved its prestigious wine production but also expanded its influence in Naboo’s courts and abroad. Abel's service as a Knight Obsidian in the Confederacy further strengthened the House’s reputation as a bloodline of both nobility and warrior spirit.
Where scandal and exile had once defined them, House Denko now stood as a symbol of survival, adaptation, and quiet strength.
V. The Scattered Line: The Modern Era (860 ABY – 902 ABY)
The bloodline of House Denko has since scattered across the stars, its members as diverse as the galaxy itself. Some have embraced the mantle of Jedi. Others have walked darker roads. A few remain in the vineyards of Naboo, tending to the land that bears their name. Though their paths diverge—Jedi, rogue, noble, or soldier—each Denko carries the mark of a shared history: a story born of tragedy, defined by resilience, and bound by blood.
