Legend

this woman, a member of the wealthy Tagge family, was shipped off to the planet Monastery to join the Order of the Sacred Circle, in an effort to preserve her innocence. Sister Domina eventually became a priestess of the Order, and was known for her leadership of the sisterhood on Monastery. Shortly after the Battle of Yavin, she found herself in the midst of political intrigue as the Order's leaders decide that they were ready to side with either the Empire or the Alliance in the Galactic Civil War. At the same time, her brother Ulric traveled to Monastery to talk her into allying herself with Vader in order to avenge the death of their brother Orman at the hands of Luke Skywalker. In a devlish scheme, requested that Skywalker serve as the Alliance's representative to Monastery, during the negotiations with the Empire. Of course, the Empire's representative was none other than Darth Vader himself. Luke, smitten with Domina's beauty, was unaware that Domina had already allied herself with Vader. She and vader manipulated the members of the Order of the Sacred Circle to revoke the power of the Circle of Elders and name her High Priestess. Her first order was to have Luke killed and the Alliance destroyed, ostensibly as threats to the great circle of life. It was decided that Skywalker and Vader should duel to the death in the Crystal Valley; Domina had manipulated them both into a position which would result in both their deaths, avenging the Tagge family once and for all. Howeer, her plans were thwarted by both Vader and Skywalker, and Domina was forced to relinquish her position as High Priestess. She allowed the Order of the Sacred Circle to ally itself with the Alliance, but she never forgave Skywalker for killing her brother. Later, Domina tried to take control of the universe by unleashing the Crimson Forever. She had a team infiltrate the Red Nebula and steal one of the huge gemstones that protected it. She then placed it aboard a Star Destroyer and set it adrift in Alliance-controlled space. She hoped that the Alliance would bring the gemstone out of the ship, thereby affecting countless billions of beings before anything could be done to stop the disease. Her plans failed when Chewbacca revealed to Leia Organa and Lando Calrissian what the gemstones really were, prompting a mission to return the gemstone to the Red Nebula. Leia abandoned Domina Tagge on the fringes of the Red Nebula, after obtaining the second crystal.
