Lahka Khai was a Human female from the planet of Kesh. She married the Sith Saber Gavar Khai, with whom she had one child, Vestara. Lahka, unlike her husband and daughter, was not Force-sensitive. In 41 ABY, Vestara was chosen to be the Sith apprentice of Lady Rhea, causing her to move away from her family and live in the Sith Temple.

Biography
Lahka Khai was a female Human born on the Outer Rim Territories world of Kesh. Despite her lack of Force-sensitivity, she married a Sith Saber, Gavar Khai&mdash;a member of the Lost Tribe of Sith, descendants of a group of Sith whose starship, the Omen, crashed onto the planet in 5,000 BBY, during the Great Hyperspace War.

With Gavar, Lahka gave birth to one daughter in 27.5 ABY, whom they named Vestara. Vestara began training in the ways of the Sith, and shortly after Ship, a Sith Meditation Sphere, arrived on the planet in 41 ABY, she was called to meet with the Circle of Lords in Kesh's Circle Chambers, in the capital city of Tahv. Gavar and Vestara were worried that she might have gotten in trouble, and, though Lahka could tell that something was wrong, she knew it was not her place to be concerned about Sith business. However, at the meeting, Vestara was chosen to become the apprentice of Lady Rhea. To begin her training, Vestara had to move away from her family and live in the Sith Temple located in the nearby Takara Mountains.

Personality and traits
Lahka did not fully understand the matters of the Lost Tribe of Sith, but she knew that it was not her place to interfere in their affairs. As such, she did not ask questions of her husband and daughter when they became troubled by Vestara being called to the Circle Chambers.

Behind the scenes
Lahka Khai was created by author Christie Golden for her first Star Wars novel, Omen, the second of nine novels in the Fate of the Jedi series, released July 23, 2009. She is the first non Force-sensitive Human shown to be associated with the Lost Tribe of Sith.
