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. She accompanied Darth Vader, the Sixth Brother and the Tenth Brother to the planet Mon Cala to hunt an enemy of the Empire.

Fallen Jedi
Originally a member of the Jedi Order, the individual later known as the Ninth Sister used the Force to empathetically connect with others and detect their emotions. Eventually she became a member of 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. They soon fell under the command of Darth Vader when Darth Sidious 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.

Trap on Cabarria
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 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 told Vader that she had not been the one to place the bounty, suggesting to Vader that one of the other Inquisitors may 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.

Assassination attempt at Coruscant
She then travelled with Vader back to Coruscant aboard his ship, when their transmitter was jammed, halting their ability to send clearance codes to the surface. Coruscant's defences then mobilized and fired missiles towards their ship. Ninth Sister was unable to shake off the missiles from the ship requiring Vader to take control of the ship. They were hit by one of them, and they managed to crash land on Coruscant. Vader then ordered Ninth Sister to stay with the ship whilst he dealt with the matter at hand. Vader deduced one of the culprits and executed him and four others in front of the other high ranking Imperials.
