Seventh Sister

"You crawled out of hiding... at last!"

- The Seventh Sister to Kanan Jarrus

Seventh Sister was the designation used by a female Mirialan Inquisitor of the Galactic Empire several years before the Battle of Yavin. She was brought into conflict with the Lothal rebels while attempting to track them and Ahsoka Tano, one of the leaders of a rebellion against the Empire. She wore black armor with a retractable faceplate and spoke in a clipped, almost mechanical voice. Like most Inquisitors, she carried a double-bladed spinning lightsaber, though hers had a unique design on the handle and she wore it clipped to her belt instead of on her back.

Serving the Empire
The individual known as the Seventh Sister served as an Inquisitor of the Galactic Empire in the years prior to the Battle of Yavin. After the death of the Grand Inquisitor on Mustafar, a important rebel network was uncovered and begun harassing Imperial targets. Darth Vader, the Empire's top enforcer, hunted and broke a growing rebel fleet during the Siege of Lothal, during which time he discovered that former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano still lived as a part of the movement. Vader was ordered by the Emperor Darth Sidious to dispatch another Inquisitor to deal with the growing rebellion against the Empire and to find Tano. This brought the Seventh Sister into conflict with the Lothal rebels, a cell that operated aboard the starship Ghost.

Skirmish aboard the medical station
"What is that?" "My pet told me you were here. I have been looking for you for some time." "A bounty hunter?" "Guess again."

- The Seventh Sister reveals herself to Ezra Bridger

She came in contact first with the Lothal rebels when she was tasked to scout an abandoned Republic medical station, and one of her droid "pets" reported seeing one of the rebels. Later one of the droids knocked Chopper out when the other crew members were searching for medical supplies that they came to look for in the first place. Chopper managed to plead for help of the other rebels, but only to be hunted down first by the Sister and soon by after the Fifth Brother, who insisted on killing them, but the Sister stopped him to use Ezra as a bait to get to the others.

The two brought Ezra to the station's command center to slowly break him with psychological tactics by asking where the other rebels were and what he knew about Ahsoka Tano. Meanwhile the Sister interrogated Ezra, the Brother captured Sabine and left Zeb to be dealt with by the Sister's droids, who in fact managed to destroy the droids, find Chopper, escape and find what they were looking for in the first place only to discover that Sabine and Ezra were captured. He planned to release them by disguising himself as "Commander Meiloorun", who asked if the rebels were in the need of help in case the Phantom was damaged and stranded. Sabine said they wouldn't need help, but was threatened with death by the Brother, so Ezra said they were in need of help and was then got told by the commander to meet at Bay Six and to keep their "chins up".

Later they moved to the rendezvous point to wait for the others' arrival while the Sister planned to dispose of all the rebels after having them. However, their plan was ruined by Zeb who ambushed the Inquisitors from above aboard the Phantom and picked up Sabine and Ezra. While trying to escape, the Inquisitors responded by pulling the rebel ship back with Force Grip, but the Brother was forced to deflect Sabine's blaster shots, which let the rebels escape successfully while nearly pulling the Sister out into the vacuum with the ship, leaving the Sister in the empty hangar, on the floor. Realizing that she had failed in the presence of a fellow inquisitor, she immediately became flustered by this.

Abducting children
Later, the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother boarded a passenger ship above the planet Chandel to seize a Force-sensitive infant named Alora. When the child's grandmother Darja attempted to flee the two Inquisitors, the Sister told her not to worry since they were just here to "make friends." Before leaving the ship, the Sister gave the Brother the signal to kill all of the other passengers. The Inquisitors' activities attracted the attention of the former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano and the rebel crew of the Ghost. While Ahsoka traveled to Chandel, Ezra, his master Kanan Jarrus, Zeb, and Chopper traveled to the planet Takobo aboard the Phantom.

Taking Alora with them, the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother traveled to Takobo to collect a Force-sensitive Ithorian infant named Pypey. After parking their TIE Advanced starfighters at the spaceport in Hammertown, the two Inquisitors left a seeker droid to guard their ship and the baby. Together, they then visited Pypey's home and confronted her mother Oora. However, Oora had already sent her child away with the droid. Before leaving the house, the two Inquisitors accosted her and smashed the furniture in her home.

While prowling the streets of Takobo, the two Inquisitors managed to intercept the droid. However, Pypey had already been picked up by Zeb, one of the rebels they had encountered earlier on the derelict medical station. The Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother then pursued Zeb to a nearby apartment building. Prior to entering the building, the Sister sent one of her seeker droids to keep an eye outside. Shortly later, Ezra and his master Kanan Jarrus entered the building to aid Zeb.

Ezra's presence caused Pypey to cry since he could sense the boy's fear. Closing in on the rebels, the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister attempted to spike them out with their lightsabers. Bridger managed to temporarily mislead the Inquisitors by using a comlink to make a recording of Pypey's cries. The Fifth Brother fell for that ruse and was warned by the Seventh Sister to stop wasting their time. In the meantime, the rebels managed to escape the room and made a run for the stairs. To confuse the Inquisitors, the rebels split up; with Bridger and Pypey heading into the ventilation shafts while Kanan and Zeb held off the Inquisitors.

While walking beneath the ceiling, the two Inquisitors sensed Ezra and Pypey's presence in the ventilation shaft above. After telling her comrade not waste their time again, she watched while the Fifth Brother used his lightsaber to spike holes in the ceilings in an attempt to flush out their quarry. Before the two Inquisitors could corner their prey, they were confronted by Kanan and Zeb. Upon seeing Kanan, the Sister taunted the former Jedi Padawan by telling him that he had finally crawled out of hiding. Using their Dark Side powers and lightsaber skills, the two Inquisitors bested Kanan and Zeb, who jumped out the window and fled on a speeder. In response, the Inquisitors commandeered another speeder and continued the pursuit. Following another skirmish, the Inquisitors cornered their rebel foes outside the spaceport.

The two Inquisitors quickly overpowered the three rebels. Before they could finish off their work, the spaceport doors opened to reveal the Jedi Ahsoka Tano. While the other rebels retreated aboard the Phantom with Pypey, Ahsoka engaged the two Inquisitors in a lightsaber duel. Armed with two lightsabers, she managed to knock out the Fifth Brother before sparring with the Seventh Sister. Before Ahsoka could finish the Sister, Imperial reinforcements arrived in the form of stormtroopers and a few Imperial Troop Transports. Ahsoka managed to escape with her rebel comrades and the babies aboard the Phantom. To add insult to injury, the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother discovered that the rebels had also destroyed their TIE Advanced fighters and taken Pypey. However, the Inquisitors were delighted to learn from one of the Sister's seeker droids that the rebels were hiding on the planet Garel. The Sister commented she looked forward to paying Ezra a "visit."

Raid on Garel
Following the skirmish with the rebels on Takabo, the Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother joined forces with the Imperial Security Bureau agent Kallus and Admiral Kassius Konstantine to attack the rebel presence on Garel. The two Inquisitors accepted Kallus' suggestion that the Imperial servants work together to capture the Phoenix rebel cell, which included the crew of the Ghost. The Seventh Sister and the Fifth Brother took part in the ground assault and encountered Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus in their hangar bay. The Seventh Sister managed to goad Ezra into attacking them but Kanan managed to shut the blast door, preventing the fight from taking place. The crew of the Ghost then took advantage of this delay to escape into the atmosphere above Garel.
