WARNING: This is a plot summary of the short story, spoilers ahead:

Brea and Senni Tonnika were in Mos Eisley, trying to figure out a way to earn a big enough score to finally get out of their con-artist lives. The had visited Jabba's Palace, because the Hutt had called a meeting after he learned that Han Solo had dumped his cargo before being boarded by Imperial agents.
He was sending everyone after Solo. The sisters knew Han, although not pleasantly so. But they also knew Lando Calrissian well, and as such, had ridden aboard the Millennium Falcon many times, even learning the controls. They decided to steal the Falcon, while the rest of Jabba's minions were bumping into each other trying to grab Solo and the Wookiee. The Falcon would be their ticket to new lives. They stalked Solo in Chalmun's cantina, and made their move after some commotion involving some bright-eyed kid that had just walked in. They slipped out and headed for Docking Bay 94. As they were about to reach the Falcon, they stopped in their tracks and had to quickly find cover. The Falcon was being guarded by a bunch of Jabba's goons. Shortly after, Solo showed up. They had just missed their opportunity.

So it would seem that whole EU business of the Tonnika Sisters not actually being the Tonnika sisters has been thrown out the window. These are the Tonnika Sisters you are looking for.
