Legend

this woman was a former teras kasi master and a member of the Followers of Palawa warriors who flocked to support the Kashi Mer exile, Xendor. During the First Great Schism, Arden Lyn was defeated in battle by the Jedi Master Awdrysta Pina, who used the mortichro technique to still Arden's heart. Her connection to the Dark Side of the Force kept her alive, and Arden Lyn eventually awoke, shortly after the Jedi Purge of Emperor Palpatine. She was captured as a Force-sensitive by High Inquisitor Tremayne, but injured him and killed Inquisitor Ameesa Darys in her escape. She was later captured again, this time by Inquisitor Torbin, who was forced to cut off her arm in the struggle. Torbin kept her alive, recognizing that she had some connection to the Dark Side of the Force, and brought her before Palpatine. She became one of the Emperor's Hands, and was summoned by Darth Vader to lead an assault team against the Alliance. Their goal was to defeat the leaders of the Alliance in one-on-one combat. In the wake of the Battle of Yavin, however, Arden Lyn defected from Imperial service and started training her own students. She even tried to help rogue Admiral Zaarin kidnap Palpatine, but Inquisitor Tremayne thwarted the attempt. Arden Lyn fled, hoping to locate an ancient Kashi Mer talisman which would bring her power enough to defeat the Empire.
