Lomi Plo

"There is nothing wrong with vengeance. It is a noble emotion - a powerful one."

- Lomi Plo to Alema Rar

Lomi Plo was a Nightsister. She was once affiliated with the Shadow Academy, where she had an apprentice named Welk. After helping the Myrkr strike team defeat the voxyn queen, she and Welk stole the Tachyon Flier with Raynar Thul onboard. They escaped into the Unknown Regions and created Gorog, a Killik nest, unknown to the other nests. Lomi was responsible for Dark Nest Crisis and the Swarm War. At the conclusion of the Swarm War, she was killed by Luke Skywalker.

Biography
Plo was a member of Tamith Kai's "reborn" Nightsister clan and possibly a student of Brakiss' Shadow Academy. She was captured by the Yuuzhan Vong, after their conquest of Dathomir, and held aboard the Worldship Baanu Rass for human experimentation, together with her apprentice. After being rescued by the Myrkr strike team, she took vengeance on her captors by creating a Force net, slicing a Yuuzhan Vong shaper into pieces. This act greatly unnerved Anakin Solo, but impressed Alema Rar, who was still mourning the death of her sister. The members of the strike team were less than pleased to discover that they had rescued two Dark Jedi. Using their knowledge of the Worldship, Lomi and Welk guided the strike team, but were perturbed when they discovered the nature of the mission. In order to escape, they stole the Tachyon Flier, injuring Lowbacca and abducting Raynar Thul in the process. The ship eventually crashed in the Unknown Regions, severely burning all three aboard, leaving them scarred and deformed.

Lomi and Welk were incorporated into the Killik nest that rescued them and, through their knowledge of the Force, created the Gorog nest. Lomi became known as the Unseen Queen of the Dark Nest. Because Lomi wanted nothing more than to hide, the nest had taken on that characteristic and hid from the other nests. Lomi also gained the ability to render herself invisible to someone who had doubt in their mind. Because of this, the extent of Lomi's injuries were unknown, but in later encounters Lomi was revealed to have had a pair of Killik arms above her Human ones, her eyes were replaced with Killik eyes, her lower jaw was replaced with a Killik mandible, and one of her legs was replaced by a Killik leg.

In 36 ABY, Lomi Plo met Luke Skywalker twice in lightsaber combat. The first time, she carried two lightsabers (her personal white saber and one short purple saber), but Luke managed to get through her defenses and wound her. In retaliation, she seriously wounded Mara Jade Skywalker and Jacen Solo then escaped. The second time, she appeared in the middle of a fight between Luke and UnuThul, and taunted Luke by using his own lightsaber that was confiscated by UnuThul on Woteba. Faced by both UnuThul and Lomi, Luke knocked UnuThul unconscious and then sliced Lomi into four pieces.

Post Mortem
It was discovered by Alema Rar on a trip to Korriban in 40 ABY that Lomi Plo and Welk were members of the New Sith Order. The Order had presumed Lomi dead since the Yuuzhan Vong War, and were shocked to learn from Alema that Lomi was the leader of the Dark Nest.
