Darth Maladi

Darth Maladi was a female Sith Lady in Darth Krayt's new Sith Order c. 130 ABY. Cold and cruel, as opposed to her hateful and passionate comrade Darth Talon, she was the head of Sith Intelligence and Assassination, adept in the ways of inquisition and torture, and a specialist in the art of mental manipulation. A skilled scientist, she tirelessly experimented with ways to pervert science to serve the Sith cause.

She had an antagonistic relationship with Grand Moff Nyna Calixte, her counterpart in Imperial Intelligence.

Biography
She was one of the Sith who was present when Darth Krayt assumed the Imperial throne in 130 ABY. However, she was unable to predict that Emperor Roan Fel would escape the meeting of his Moffs before their arrival. She was punished by Darth Krayt for this failure.

She later set up her laboratory in the Temple of the Sith, where she interrogated Hosk Trey'lis on the whereabouts of Cade Skywalker.

Behind the scenes



 * Darth Maladi's name is a phonetic play on the word "malady", referring to a disease or an unwholesome condition, tying in with similar Sith names such as Plagueis. It can also be taken as having the double meaning of "M'lady", as an honorific referring to her gender.


 * Jan Duursema redesigned Darth Maladi after deciding that her initial design (pictured to the left) was too "sexy," and thus too much like Darth Talon. The redesigned Darth Maladi was meant to look more tightly wound. In a chat at TheForce.net, Duursema jokingly agreed that Maladi was supposed to be a bit "emo."
