Legend

this imposing, female S'kytri was the Matriarch of her people during the height of the Galactic Civil War. Kharys had been named the Majestrix of Skye by Darth Vader himself, after the Empire took control of the planet Skye. Many years before the Battle of Yavin, Kharys had captured twenty Corellians and hunted them for prey on Skye. The only two survivors were Han Solo and Katya M'Buele. When Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa were nearly captured by Kharys on Tirahnn, Han decided to locate Kharys and make her pay for the cruel hunt many years before. Kharys imprisoned Han, but was unable to stop Luke, who had been identified as the prophesied being who would free the S'kytri. Kharys fought against Luke with a lightsaber she had been given, and used a measure of control over the Force to try and muddle Luke's mind. In the end, however, Luke was able to kill her and end her tyrannical rule.
