Kai, Tamith
the first of a new group of Nightsisters, Tamith Kai gathered a group of surviving witches in order to continue the work set down in The Book of Shadows. Tamith Kai had served aboard the Shadow Academy, and used her skills to bring the Nightsisters together. After returning to Dathomir, she trained those students Brakiss had discovered to be strongly attuned to the Dark Side of the Force. Tamith Kai later kidnapped Jaina and Jacen Solo, along with Lowbacca, from GemDiver station. Tamith is distinguished by her jet black hair, pale skin, deep violet eyes, and remarkable beauty. She wore jet-black armor which was adorned with functional spikes. She employed Qorl as her personal pilot after joining Brakiss on the Shadow Academy. She struggled against Brakiss' leadership, and was bitter that Zekk defeated her own champion, Vilas. When the Shadow Academy attacked Yavin 4, Tamith Kai led the initial ground assault with Zekk. They split up the Jedi students and tried to kill them separately, but were unable to do so. When Tenel Ka clipped a TIE Fighter with her lightsaber, the craft spun out of control and struck the landing platform on which Tamith Kai stood. She was instantly killed in the resulting explosion.
