"When you've already lost yourself... a limb's easy. You know, I was a Jedi. It'd be fun to bring you in. Watch you crack like the rest of us!"
―The Ninth Sister, to Cal Kestis[7]

The Ninth Sister, formerly known as Masana Tide, was a female Dowutin Inquisitor who once served as a Jedi Knight in the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars before being captured by the Galactic Empire. After her capture, she was subjected to torture and mutilation before falling to the Dark Side and undergoing training by The Grand Inquisitor, and briefly by Darth Vader, to become a skilled Jedi hunter. One of her first missions during the early days of the Imperial Era, the Ninth Sister accompanied Darth Vader, the Sixth Brother, and the Tenth Brother to the planet Mon Cala to hunt the Jedi Padawan Ferren Barr. Later, she accompanied the Second Sister to hunt down the fugitive Padawan Cal Kestis. However, Kestis defeated her in a duel on Kashyyyk. She survived the duel and was ultimately killed by Kestis in 9 BBY during a battle on Coruscant.

Biography[]

Fallen Jedi[]

"Just wait 'til the isolation! Torture! Mutilation!"
―The Ninth Sister[7]
Inquisitorius Vader Comic

The Ninth Sister was a part of the Inquisitorius

A Dowutin from the[1] planet[10] Dowut,[1] Masana Tide was a Jedi Knight[3] of the Jedi Order,[11] and was trained by a Master.[9] In 19 BBY,[12] Darth Sidious enacted Order 66,[13] a directive in the behavioral modification biochips within the Galactic Republic's clone troopers[14] to wipe out the Jedi.[13] Tide was one of the few survivors of the event,[8] however[7] she[4] was captured by Sidious' Galactic Empire and was tortured until she cracked. Indoctrinated into the teachings of the dark side of the Force[7] as part of the Empire's Inquisitorius program, she was given the position of Inquisitor and retitled as the Ninth Sister.[6]

That same year,[15] Ninth Sister was trained alongside the Seventh Sister, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, and Eighth Brother by the Grand Inquisitor in the Inquisitorius Headquarters on the planet[6] Coruscant.[16] 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.[6] During one training session with Vader, the Sith Lord[8] took out the Ninth Sister's left eye,[5] as a lesson of loss.[8]

Assassination attempts[]

"I should be here by myself, checking it out, sending back a report."
―The Ninth Sister questions Vader's presence for the mission[5]

Sometime later, the Ninth Sister accompanied Vader to[5] the planet[17] Cabarria, in order to investigate claims that an individual had utilized the Force and a lightsaber to get out of a fight within one of the planet's bars. Before entering the establishment, she read Vader the report from a datapad. She questioned Vader on his presence for the matter, as there had been many recent Jedi reports that had turned out as misjudgments. She exclaimed that she should have been the one checking it out and sending back a report. Vader told the Ninth Sister that she should be pleased with his assistance and in their following trade of words, she deduced that Vader was there in case they got lucky and found a Jedi.[5]

Vader told the Ninth Sister to remain outside the bar unless he called upon her, and the Sister quietly stated her thoughts that Vader was a "sadistic monster." Once Vader entered the bar, a family of bounty hunters known as the Chas attacked the Dark Lord. They had taken a bounty on Vader unknowingly placed by someone from the very heart of the Republic Executive Building on Coruscant. They set off an ion grenade to disable everyone weapons but their own and destroyed his lightsaber, leading Vader to contact the Ninth Sister to request her to bring him her lightsaber. However, the Ninth Sister ignored the call, blaming the ion pulse for frying her comm.[5]

ChasKilled-CrimsonReign-1

Vader used the Ninth Sister's lightsaber to kill the Chas parents.

Eventually, the family was forced to withdraw from the fight as their ray shields would eventually run out, and Vader had begun killing the patrons of the bar to prevent the family from attacking him. As the assassins fled the bar, they held the Ninth Sister at blaster point until family member Ramat Cha acquired and started up a speeder bike. After 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 have done so. Vader used the Force to take her lightsaber and ordered the Ninth Sister to remain outside the bar until he returned from dealing with the bounty hunters, stating that he would kill her if she attempted to flee. Vader then piloted a nearby speeder, chased down, and interrogated the Chas family. He used the Ninth Sister's lightsaber to kill Ramat and Bhada Cha, but spared their daughter Chanath Cha.[5]

The Ninth Sister then traveled with Vader back to Coruscant aboard his personal starship, when their transmitter was jammed, halting their ability to send clearance codes to the surface. This caused Coruscant's defenses to mobilize and fire missiles at their ship. The Ninth Sister was unable to shake them off, so Vader took control of the ship. They were hit by one of the missiles, 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 uncovered Imperial colonel Barokki as one of the individuals who placed the bounty on him, and executed him and four others in front of the other high ranking Imperials.[18]

Mission to Mon Cala[]

Battle of Dac City[]

"Landing pad clear, Lord Vader."
"Good."
―The Ninth Sister and Darth Vader[19]
Dark Lord 14 Battle of Dac City 2

The Inquisitors assist Vader during the battle of Dac City

In 18 BBY,[20] a large group of Imperials was sent to the[21] planet[22] Mon Cala, also known as Dac, in order to assist Darth Vader in an investigation, seeking to discover whether a possible Jedi had been influencing King of Mon Cala Lee-Char's negotiations. Arriving in a Zeta-class shuttle, the Ninth Sister, Vader, the Sixth Brother, and the Tenth Brother landed in Dac City. Alongside the three Inquisitors, were fourteen Purge Troopers,[21] a specialized force of stormtroopers who worked alongside the Inquisitorius.[23]

Upon their exiting of the ship, Ninth Sister was confronted by the king's Chief of Security, Gial Ackbar. Ackbar asked of their business and Ninth Sister gave him a writ that legally protected the Inquisitors from harm. Ackbar told her it was an outrage and she told him to take it up with Vader as he departed from their ship. The Mon Calamari continued questioning the Imperials for their business on Mon Cala, until Vader explained to him they were searching for a possible enemy of the Empire on Mon Cala. Ackbar denied the possibility but as he said that, a shuttle carrying the Empire's ambassador to the waterworld, Telvar exploded, killing all on board. Vader and the Inquisitors passed Ackbar and walked down from the landing pad.

The ambassador's death prompted Governor Wilhuff Tarkin to send Imperial forces down to Mon Cala.[21] As Imperial TIE fighters, the Mon Calamari Guard began defending their cities, and the Battle of Dac City begun. The Inquisitors, Purge Troopers, and Vader struck down the Mon Cala troops present on a landing pad and secured the area. Ninth Sister asked Vader where they were to go next and he told her that they were heading to the city's palace. She then asked him if why they would find the Jedi there, to which Vader said they were there for Lee-Char, hoping they could obtain the Jedi's location from him.[19]

After slaying several more guards, the group entered the palace where they found Lee-Char. Under Vader's command, the Ninth Sister used the Force to attempt to extract the Jedi's location from the King. Before long however, a school of large creatures rose through the sea level, generating a wave large enough to rip through the city. The other two Inquisitors attempted to hold it the water, and Vader joined them, but the wave was too strong.[19] The Ninth Sister and the others were swept away[24] and Vader fell into the waters below.[19]

Hunting the Jedi[]

"The King, then. Is Lee-Char dead?"
"We…don't know. The King was swept away when the tidal wave hit. But it's not all bad. I got Lee-Char to give me the Jedi's location. We know exactly where he is."
―Darth Vader and the Ninth Sister[24]

The Ninth Sister survived the wave, as did the Inquisitors and all but two of their troopers. They took an Imperial submarine and found Vader in the ocean's Great Ungeness Trench as he fought a large squid-like creature. Vader asked of Lee-Char and the Ninth Sister said they didn't know but then told him that she had obtained the Jedi's location. They set a course for the location immediately.[24]

As they reached the location, they caught the Jedi and his six disciples evacuating their refuge, having known that Vader and the Inquisitors were on their way. The group of them scattered, excluding one who attacked the submarine with his blaster. Vader crushed the acolyte's helmet and they began pursuing the others. Another disciple sacrificed himself to slow them down. The submarine kept going despite this and soon reached Bel City where two more disciples waited to slow the group down. As they marched down the corridors, Vader received a transmission from Tarkin, with a request to capture the King in return for a favor at some later date. Vader acquiesced and ordered the rest of the squad to continue as planned while he went to find the King. The Inquisitors did as instructed and continued to find the Jedi and his last two disciples at a dead end. Sixth Brother cut one of them down and the Jedi came forward to confront them.[25]

Ninth Sister loses leg

The Purge Troopers' attack caused the Ninth Sister to lose a leg to the Sixth Brother due to his cowardly betrayal.

After an exchange of words with the Jedi, whom the Ninth Sister identified as Ferren Barr, he revealed that he not only knew that they were all former Jedi but knew the role the clones played in the destruction of the Jedi Order. The Ninth Sister rebuffed all of this saying that their past no longer affected them. Barr stated otherwise, saying that despite their turn to the dark side they were still Jedi underneath. Barr then used a mind trick on the clones, telling them to execute Order 66.[25]

Barr's mind trick worked and the clones turned on the three Inquisitors. After Tenth Brother was shot fatally in the chest, Barr Force jumped over the fight between the Inquisitors and clones with his acolyte Verla, escaping through the only exit. Wanting to chase after them, Ninth Sister and the Sixth Brother used their combined strength to Force push the clones out of the way, with most of them falling off the deck. As the two began to make their way out, Sixth Brother betrayed Ninth Sister, severing her leg and leaving her behind as a distraction for the remaining clones so he could escape. As the Sixth Brother ran off mockingly wishing her good luck, Ninth Sister swore she would get her revenge on him.[26] However, the Ninth Sister never got the chance as the Brother was killed by the former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano on the moon of Raada during the latter's quest for power sources for her new lightsabers.[27]

Hunting Cal Kestis[]

First encounter on Bracca[]

"I found the Jedi."
―The Ninth Sister[7]
9thsister

The Ninth Sister accompanied the Second Sister to Bracca seeking a Jedi.

Having survived her fight on Dac, the Ninth Sister was given a cybernetic right leg.[7] Four years later, in 14 BBY,[28] an Imperial Viper probe droid on the Scrapper Guild's Shipbreaking Yard on the planet Bracca, captured a potential Jedi posing as a scrapper using the Force to save a fellow scrapper. The event came to the attention of the Inquisitorius, and the Ninth Sister traveled to the planet alongside the Second Sister and a group of Purge Troopers.[7]

Halting a train carrying members of the Guild, the Second Sister confronted the passengers. Landing in her TIE/rp Reaper attack lander, the Ninth Sister watched as the Second Sister told the scrappers of the Jedi fugitive and threatened the execution of the whole group if the Jedi was not turned over. As the Purge Troopers took aim at the group, the Abednedo Prauf, whom the Jedi had saved, spoke out, shaming the Empire as a whole for overworking the Scrapper Guild. The Second Sister then stabbed Prauf with her lightsaber, and scrapper Cal Kestis reacted by trying to cut her down with his lightsaber, revealing himself as the Jedi. She blocked the Jedi's attack and lifted him with the Force, throwing him to the Ninth Sister. The Ninth Sister then held him above a ledge, proclaiming that she found the Jedi, before Cal ignited his lightsaber causing her to drop him in surprise.[7]

Kestis, however, survived the fall and landed onto another train. As he proceeded towards the front of the train, the Ninth Sister, in her ship, shot at the tracks, causing the train to fall. After Kestis was able to find safety on the platform of a Retired Control Tower, the Second Sister confronted him and the two dueled, but he escaped when former Jedi Cere Junda, aboard the Stinger Mantis luxury yacht, intervened and extracted him before the Second Sister could finish him off.[7]

Duel on Kashyyyk[]

"I don't know what's got Second Sister thinking you're so important. She likes her souvenirs but…I'm not in it for the memories and honestly…You're not worth my time. So let's make this quick."
―The Ninth Sister confronting Cal Kestis[7]

Since the encounter on Bracca, the Second Sister dedicated her time to hunting Kestis while the Ninth Sister struggled to see why she found him so important. After his rescue by Junda, Kestis and the fellow members of the Stinger Mantis crew began a secret mission to rebuild the Jedi Order. This led the Jedi to the jungle planet Kashyyyk in order to seek out the Wookiee chieftan Tarfful. Unexpectedly, Kestis found himself fighting alongside resistance fighter Saw Gerrera's rebel cell of the Partisans in an assault on the Imperial holding of the planet. After having set up a later meeting with Tarfull, Kestis left the planet and the Second and Ninth Sisters took part in a counter attack to drive Gerrera off-world. The Ninth Sister told the Grand Inquisitor that she did not believe Kestis would return to the world. She was proven wrong when Kestis returned and began climbing the sacred Wookiee Origin Tree, after Tarfful notified Kestis of the presence of an astrium at the top, objects created by the ancient Zeffonian species which Kestis had been seeking out. [7]

From the ramp of her TIE Reaper, the Ninth Sister confronted Cal within a deserted Wookiee village at the top of the tree, expressing her feelings of his return to Kashyyyk. She then proceeded to chase him in her ship, shooting at the Jedi Padawan periodically with the ship's L-s9.3 laser cannons. However, a member of the endangered Shyyyo bird appeared and attacked the Ninth Sister's ship, driving it away from Kestis.[7]

JFO Ninth Sister attacks

The Ninth Sister attacks Kestis atop the Origin Tree.

After having driven the Ninth Sister away, the Shyyyo bird began helping Kestis climb the Origin Tree after he tended to one of its wounds. When they were at the bird's nest, however, the Ninth Sister attacked, injuring the Shyyyo bird and confronting Kestis. Jumping onto the tree, she expressed her desire to kill him quickly, believing him to be an unworthy opponent. The pair then engaged in a fierce duel, the Ninth Sister using just one blade. Kestis was able to slash the visor of the Sister's helmet, temporarily disorienting her. She then pushed him away as she jumped back. Feeling her visor to check its state, she remarked to Kestis that he wasn't bad for "trash," before igniting the second blade of her saber. The two continued dueling, until Kestis was able to slash the Ninth Sister's right arm. She stood up and used the Force to lift her lightsaber behind an oblivious Kestis, stating that the Inquisitors were trained in special abilities. However, when the blade was ignited Kestis realized its presence and quickly parried it.

The Ninth Sister continued to fight Kestis, expressing her wish to turn Kestis into an Inquisitor through torture like she and the other former Jedi. As she grew angrier, Kestis outmaneuvered her and slashed her in the back. The Ninth Sister continued to advance on him, but Kestis flipped behind her and pushed her with the Force through the branches behind, sending her falling out of the nest,[7] though she ultimately survived.[3]

Whilst atop the Origin Tree, Kestis communicated with Junda back on the Mantis, asking her if she had known the Ninth Sister before the Jedi Purge. Cere responded in the negative, stating that she could only guess what she had been like before. Kestis then discussed the Ninth Sister's perspective on fighting the Empire and how hopeless it would ultimately turn out. Junda then mentioned her theory that most Inquisitors were former Jedi who had been turned via fear and torture, emphasizing the temptation of giving into absolutes under the suffering caused by the Empire. Kestis acknowledged the possibility of her theory, mentioning the Ninth Sister's enthusiasm in making others suffer.[7]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Any alternate stories may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon.

When Kestis spoke to Greez Dritus while standing just outside the Mantis on Kashyyyk, Dritus brought up Kestis' impressive feat in outrunning a TIE fighter. Kestis then mentioned that it had carried the Ninth Sister, a revelation which horrified Dritus who brought up the ramifications of more Inquisitors like the Second Sister coming after them.[7]

Upon Kestis' return to the Mantis directly after his fight with the Ninth Sister, Kestis sat down with the crew and discussed the results of his mission, believing he had killed the Inquisitor. He talked about how the Second Sister had left the planet and how he had defeated the Ninth Sister. Kestis also discussed the Ninth Sister's view that becoming an Inquisitor was practically inevitable. Kestis pointed out that Cere's experience in going through the same scenario that the Ninth Sister had undergone, yet still refusing to join, clearly disproved the Ninth Sister's hypothesis.[7]

Reencounter with Kestis and death[]

"Your name was Masana Tide. It's time to set you free."
―Cal Kestis moments before decapitating the Ninth Sister[3]
How-to-beat-ninth-sister-in-star-wars-jedi-survivor

The Ninth Sister killed Imperial Senator Daho Sejan for allegedly betraying the Galactic Empire.

After her encounter with Kestis on Kashyyyk, the Ninth Sister was outfitted with a cybernetic right hand. She continued her work as an Inquisitor. After Kashyyyk, the Ninth Sister began to dream of the day she would face Kestis again. In the time since her fight with Kestis, the Jedi had begun a crusade against the Empire.[3] In 9 BBY,[2] Kestis embarked on a mission to the Imperial homebase of Coruscant, and allowed himself to be captured so his crew could extract confidential information from the Ramsidian yacht of Utapau senator Daho Sejan. After the crew had completed their mission and exited the yacht, the Ninth Sister shot the platform where the crew stood, from a LAAT/le patrol gunship. Backed by two other gunships, the Ninth Sister stabbed the senator with her lightsaber, noticing the senator supposedly harboring Kestis. Realizing that he had not killed the Sister, Kestis took retreat as the Ninth Sister ordered the gunships to open fire. The resulting laserfire left Kestis' crew member Gabs dead, and the Sister killed members Koob and Lizz. In a fit of rage, Cal approached the Ninth Sister and began to dash at her, however a crashing gunship knocked him off the edge of the platform.[3]

Kestis found himself on a different platform, where the Ninth Sister's gunship had crashed. She exited the ship and the angered Sister had a rematch with Kestis. Due to the fact that Kestis had become a target of great interest to the Empire, the Ninth Sister believed that she would become a legend if she killed him. The Ninth Sister pushed Kestis with the Force and rated his skill in combat as impressive. With her remarkable ability to sense the emotions of others, she claimed to feel the pain Kestis was feeling for leading her allies to their deaths in the fight against the Empire. Cal slashed the Ninth Sister across the chest with his new lightsaber and attempted to use her former name, Masana, to connect with the Inquisitor. He reminded her of her past life as a Knight of the Jedi Order and told her it was time to free her from her betrayal. Rushing at Kestis, she attempted to continue her attack to kill him, but was decapitated.[3]

Legacy[]

In the years following the fall of the Galactic Empire, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker traveled the galaxy to rediscover the history of the Jedi Order that had been suppressed by the Empire.[29] In his search for knowledge, Skywalker became aware of the Ninth Sister's existence. During his self-imposed exile on Ahch-To, Skywalker wrote a book he titled The Secrets of the Jedi, which chronicled the information he had learnt on his travels. The Ninth Sister was one of several Inquisitors who were depicted in the book as illustrations, alongside information pertaining to the Inquisitorius. She was remembered in the hearts of the few Jedi that survived her rampage.[30]

Personality and traits[]

"Not bad for trash."
"What about for a Jedi?"
"Is there a difference?"

The Ninth Sister after she lost her eye

A hulking individual, the Ninth Sister was a female Dowutin[4] with brown skin and white eyes, the left of which was lost during a training session with Darth Vader.[5] She had two small horns on her chin and her fingers had black claws on the ends. As an Inquisitor, the Ninth Sister was dangerous and imposing.[4] She was good at reading people with the Force, being able to deduce Vader's intentions of joining her on Cabarria. She later refused to assist Vader when he asked for her help in a fight with bounty hunters.[5]

Much like her fellow Inquisitorius, the Ninth Sister was a Jedi hunter who hunted down the remaining members of the Jedi Order.[8] She went to refuse any kind of remembrance and connection to the very same order to which she once belonged, believing herself to not be one of those who kept memories[7] and that the past no longer affected her.[25] The Ninth Sister was also arrogant and overconfident, as shown when she fought against the fugitive Padawan Cal Kestis on Kashyyyk, taunting him that she wouldn't like to fight herself as well and that he wasn't worthy of her time.[7]

NinthSisChoMai

The Ninth Sister did not give much importance to losing her right hand to Cal Kestis's blade, as Vader's brutal training taught her the lesson of loss.

Her training to become an Inquisitor was a time of torture, as she described to Cal Kestis what it was like while also pointing out her role as an Inquisitor had taught her that no setback was too great. After Kestis cut off her hand, the Ninth Sister shrugged it off after the initial shock, claiming that after one loses their self a limb is easy, and considered taking him and threatening that he would be broken down just as she and the other Inquisitors were.[7]

Despite following the Sith, she did not seem to know that the Jedi were falsely framed during the Purge, as like many Imperials viewed the Jedi as traitors to the Galactic Republic now reincarnated as a empire and deeply hated the surviving Jedi, and would give her face to kill any Jedi and even those who welcomed them, as the Utapau senator Daho Sejan, even though it wasn't her item. She also regrets her past as a Jedi, being her main weakness to mention it.[31]

Powers and abilities[]

"One gal might be good with a lightsaber. Another could influence even the strongest of minds. 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[5]
The Ninth Sister

The Ninth Sister wore black armor with the Imperial logo on it.

The Ninth Sister was powerful in the Force and was a competent combatant in battle; initially she lacked the strength in combat that some of the other Inquisitors possessed although she managed to outlast Tenth Brother during the fight in Bel City, where she managed to fend off Purge Troopers despite losing a leg.[5] Overtime, her abilities made her distinctive in Inquisitorius as being among the most deadliest of Inquisitors.[31]

Through the Force, she possessed extraordinarily empathic abilities to read minds, which further enhanced her mastery on the Force.[4] This ability became even more potent when she converted to the dark side of the Force. However, she lacked the strength in combat that some of the other Inquisitors possessed,[5] although her life surpassed the Tenth Brother during the fighting in Bel City.[25] She was able to successfully fend off a group of Purge troopers despite losing a leg.[26] Overtime, her abilities became powerful enough to be considered among the most deadliest inquisitors.[31]

While less agile than other Inquisitors, the Ninth Sister utilized her brute strength, massive size and Jedi training to gain any advantage over her opponents.[4] She was able to put up a considerable fight against the more agile Cal Kestis on Kashyyyk, and kept on fighting despite the loss of her right hand and lightsaber wounds to her limbs and back, showing that she had high tolerance for pain.[7]

Being a skilled interrogator, Ninth Sister was able to successfully mind probe King Lee-Char of Mon Cala, for the location of a hiding Jedi, in time as a large wave swept them away soon after.[19]

Equipment[]

"So kid, heard you outran some fancy looking TIE. Not a ship I'd want to run into outside the Mantis."
"Worse—it carried an Inquisitor. The Ninth Sister."

The Ninth Sister's lightsaber in crescent formation

The Ninth Sister had a double-bladed spinning lightsaber, a type which all the Inquisitors, excluding the Tenth Brother, utilized. She wore a black helmet with two red visors covering each of her eyes. The Ninth Sister wore a black, skin-tight body suit which had silver lines trailing vertically down her chest, back and limbs. Around her waist was a kama of six metal armor plates which protected her thighs. On her back, she could attach her lightsaber to keep it within arm's reach.[25] She was given a cybernetic right leg after the Sixth Brother's betrayal,[7] as well as a cybernetic right hand after her defeat against Kestis on Kashyyyk.[31] She utilized a TIE/rp Reaper attack lander as a personal transport on both Kashyyyk[7] and Coruscant.[31]

Behind the scenes[]

JFO 9th Sister final design

Art by Jordan Lamarre-Wan for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

The Ninth Sister first appeared, albeit unnamed, in Darth Vader (2017) 6, a comic book written by Charles Soule, illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli,[6] and released on October 4, 2017.[32] Her design was credited to the aforementioned penciller Camuncoli, the inker Cam Smith, and the colorist David Curiel.[7]

The Ninth Sister was identified in Darth Vader (2017) 11.[5] In Darth Vader (2017) 16, the Ninth Sister and Sixth Brother's former names are revealed to be Masana Tide and Bil Valen, although the comic did not specify which character had which name.[25] The 2018 reference book Star Wars: The Dark Side later confirmed the Ninth Sister to be Masana Tide.[11] Although her former name is never mentioned directly in the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, an achievement is entitled "Her name was Masana Tide!" which is automatically awarded and displayed on the screen upon defeating the Ninth Sister on Kashyyyk.[7]

In Fallen Order, she was voiced and motion-captured by Misty Lee.[7] Lee later reprised the role in the 2023 sequel Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.[3]

Although she already had a design, the Ninth Sister's appearance was updated for the video game Jedi: Fallen Order to accommodate for the finer detail needed in the game. Efforts were made to include the features that made her design recognizable, including the raised shoulder pads, the red visor, the three chest stripes, and the layered skirt. The base material used in the design was referenced from the Imperial military uniforms seen in the Star Wars original trilogy. The final concept design was created by Jordan Lamarre-Wan, the lead concept artist for the game. The Ninth Sister's in-game model was created by senior character artist Vince Rizzi.[33]
