Legend

this woman, a former Jedi Knight, was one of many warriors who succumbed to the Dark Side of the Force in the early struggles of the Battle of Ruusan. She abandoned the Jedi Order and joined the forces of Lord Kaan, serving as one of his chief lieutenants. It was rumored that Githany was the warrior who brought a bowl of poisoned bloodsoup to Darth Bane, as part of Kaan's effort to eliminate the Dark Lord. However, Darth Bane admired her for her bravery, and chose Githany to be his own lieutenant in an effort to unite the Sith under one, strong leader. Before she could make a name for herself, Githany was killed when the Sith attacked the main Jedi camp. She and her cohorts rode swoops into the second wave of attacks, hoping to eliminate any Jedi who survived the initial blast. She was about to kill her former lover, Lord Kiel Charny, but the forces of Valenthyne Farfalla shot her group from the sky. Githany survived to meet Charny in battle, but did not have to fight him for long. The youth named Tomcat, disgruntled with the Jedi's apparent weakness, decapitated Charny and joined Githany and the Sith. Githany later fled the Sith forces after learning that Lord Kaan had decided to use the thought bomb against the Jedi. She and Tomcat tried to escape Ruusan, but were trapped by the activation of the bomb. Githany herself was trapped in a cave, and fell to her death in a newly-opened chasm. Note that her name is also spelled Ghitany.
