- "And as for that lightsaber. A curved hilt. I haven't seen one of those in a while. Do you know who else had a curved hilt? Darth Sakia. By all accounts, she was quite the swordswoman."
- ―Lene Kostana, to Dooku
Darth Sakia was a fictional female Dark Lord of the Sith created by Jedi Master Lene Kostana, hoping that it would make Jedi Initiate Dooku remember a Force vision that he had seen when he broke into the Archive of Forbidden Artifacts, an artifact collection located in the planet Coruscant's Jedi Temple.[1] Around 88 BBY,[2] Dooku faced Kostana in a duel, convinced that the Master was secretly a Sith Lord. While fighting, Kostana said that, like Dooku himself, Darth Sakia was a skilled swordswoman who used a curved hilt lightsaber. When Jedi Grand Master Yoda joined them on the contemplation balcony where they were dueling, he assured Dooku that Sakia was fictitious.[1]
Dooku later told his sister, Jenza, about the events in a holo-letter.[1] Around 23 BBY,[3] Dooku gave several data disks containing his messages to Jenza to his recently recruited Sith assassin—Asajj Ventress—for her investigation into his sister's location, and she listened to the holo-disk that mentioned Sakia.[1]
