Ninth Sister

"Me, though? I'm the sensitive type. I was always good at reading emotions, and now that I'm touching the dark side, I'm even better."

- The Ninth Sister, to Darth Vader

The Ninth Sister was a female Dowutin who served as an Inquisitor during the early stages of the Galactic Empire's reign.

Biography
Originally having ties to the Jedi Order, the Ninth Sister eventually joined Emperor Palpatine's Inquisitorius program and was trained alongside the Seventh Sister, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother and Eighth Brother by the Grand Inquisitor in the Inquisitorius' training center in the Works on Coruscant, but soon fell under the command of Darth Vader when Darth Sidious first introduced the Inquisitorius to Vader, who continued their training in the ways of the dark side of the Force. During her training with Vader, the Ninth Sister lost her left eye and was cut in half which necessitated the work of a 2-1B surgical droid to heal.

Sometime later, the Ninth Sister accompanied Vader to investigate claims that an individual had used the Force to get out of a bar fight on Cabarria. Vader told the Ninth Sister that she was to remain outside the bar unless he called upon her. Once Vader entered the bar, a family of bounty hunters, who had taken a bounty on Vader unknowingly placed by someone from the very of the Republic Executive Building on Coruscant, attacked the Dark Lord. The daughter of the family, Chanath set off an ion grenade which destroyed Vader's lightsaber, leading Vader to contact the Ninth Sister to request her bring him her lightsaber.

The Ninth Sister however ignored the call, blaming the ion pulse for frying her comm. Eventually the family decided that they had to leave the bar as their shields would eventually run out, and Vader had been willing to kill even the patrons of the bar to prevent the family from attacking him. As the family fled the bar, they held the Ninth Sister at blaster point until Ramat Cha had acquired and started up a speeder. As the family escaped, Vader arrived and accused the Ninth Sister of attempting to have him killed. The Ninth Sister adamantly told Vader that she had not been the one to place the bounty, suggesting to Vader that one of the other Inquisitors had done so. Vader ordered the Ninth Sister to remain outside the bar until he returned from dealing with the bounty hunters and told the Ninth Sister that he would kill her if she attempted to flee.

She then aided Darth Vader back to Coruscant, where their transmitter was jammed requiring Vader to take control of the ship to avoid incoming missiles. They were barely hit by one of them, and they managed to crash land on Coruscant.
