Masters [13] Taking Ventress under his wing, he had taught her the more advanced Quy'Tek meditations to the point that, by 21 BBY, Obi-Wan Kenobi noted her perfection of the art. She took custody of Jabba's son, Rotta from agents of his great-uncle Ziro, and held the Huttlet in an old B'omarr Monastery on the planet Teth. Ventress, overcome by her wounds, collapsed into Talzin's arms and was carried into the village by her sisters. Given a fifteen minute time window from Fett, she raced through the halls towards the prison bloc, destroying many droids in her wake. She fought off most of the vermin, but the mother was eaten by a tentacled creature in the shadows. Upon reaching the general's landing craft, Ventress abandoned her tank and leaped over waves of battle droids while her sisters laid waste to the automatons behind her. Please update the article to reflect recent events, and remove this template when finished. Ventress stepped in and quickly defeated the thug, severing his left arm in the process. The two Jedi knew they couldn't slaughter the X'Ting for their loyalty to the Hive, so they fought them without their lightsabers. While the tri-fighters followed after Skywalker's fighter, Ventress tailed Kenobi and continued to fire on his ship, gradually crippling its systems. The Dathomirian nearly took the Sith Lord's life, but Dooku surprised his three assassins with a sudden and overwhelming wave of Force lightning. Although the hunters commended her work for the team, Ventress insisted that she wasn't part of their syndicate, as she now had a new life to lead on her own. She discovered her master's body and grieved over her loss, but became distracted by the arrival of Ky Narec,[4] a Jedi Knight who had been stranded on Rattatak and resolved to combat the pirate menace.

[26], Ventress was risen from the waters at the conclusion of the ceremony and declared a Nightsister by Mother Talzin, who called for a feast to celebrate the formal return of their long-lost sister. As Fay lay dying, Ventress saw Kenobi hanging on a cliff face. Dooku threw Vos back and grabbed Ventress with telekinetic power, slamming her into the railing and knocking her unconscious. It was there that they both sensed through the Force that Skywalker and Tano had escaped Teth with the Huttlet, signifying her mission's failure. Having been swayed by Sodi and displeased by Fett, Ventress decided to deliver a different cargo to Otua Blank. Tano freed Unduli and returned her lightsaber in time for them both to defend against Ventress, who attacked them simultaneously.[10]. Under her orders, Group One targeted the Resolute's starboard engines, and Group Two fired on the ship's port-side deflector shield generators; the coordinated assault allowed Ventress to navigate her starfighter through the Resolute's turbolaser defenses and blast the destroyer's port-side command bridge. The Jedi levitated and brought a Force storm to bear on Ventress before she could escape. When the girl saw the attacker however she slapped Boba and the attacker knocked him down. When she was betrayed by Opress she became a successful Bounty Hunter on Coruscant. He then planted seeds in memory of her. He blocked all the strikes, and pinned her lightsabers down. Her efforts were successful and she contacted Grievous to inform him of her readiness, but his plans had yet to see fruition; his fleet was still hiding from Republic detection while he waited for his forces to take the Rishi station. Opress was sedated under Talzin's influence and brought to the village center, where he was subjected to the dark magicks of the gathered witch clan. In order to ensure her people's safety, Talzin arranged for Ventress's mother to surrender the young girl to Hal'Sted, who took her away from Dathomir as a slave. The scavengers aboard, who had been picking through the debris field in the aftermath of the battle, took the Fanblade starfighter as a prize and pulled Ventress from the wreckage. She underwent a Rebirth Ritual and took her place in the order of the Nightsisters. [3], While Grievous left to aid Dooku against Vos, Ventress fended off her droid attackers and returned to the overhang, only to find her companion debilitated by the count's Force lightning. While some disgorged droids onto landing platforms and bridges that connected the city, others drove their spiked drills directly into the city walls to deliver Separatist troops into hangars and other sensitive areas.[21]. Gunray sealed the Padawan behind the prison's energy shield, but his freedom was short-lived; Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, who was overseeing the prisoner transfer, returned from battling the droids with Clone Commander CC-1004 and engaged Ventress. $49.99. She was told to bring Jedi Master Jai Maruk before Lord Tyranus alive so that his "treaty" between him and Yoda would be complete. Opress and Talzin had recently recovered Maul, and now he and his brother were exacting revenge against the Jedi who had cut off the lower half of his body and left him for dead so many years before. The Kiffar Jedi believed the lie and developed a deeper vendetta against the count for it, as well as the Jedi Council for having apparently withheld that information. Although she lurked in the upper reaches of the monastery for a time, Kenobi's prodding and taunting eventually drew her down to engage the Jedi on a level field. As Ventress tried to pull it back into her hands with the Force, the container was intercepted midair by a clone trooper—one of many who had arrived to reinforce Skywalker. In the end, she sacrificed herself to save Vos, who was influenced by the dark side, fully redeeming herself into the light.[3]. The count assigned both Ventress and Grievous to oversee the theft of the clone genetic source material and the destruction of the Republic's clone training and housing complexes, although both of his subordinates sought to claim the victories for themselves. Unbeknownst to her, Vos was particularly skilled in the Force technique of psychometry—the ability to pull images and memories from inanimate objects. The display and sudden intrusion infuriated the Dathomirian, as it allowed Moregi the opportunity to escape and momentarily robbed her of the bounty. Biographical information [14], While she continued the search for the Jedi in the monastery, Ventress was informed by her droids that Republic reinforcements had arrived. The Confederacy had broadly won the contest, but in a final large skirmish, Ventress engaged Tholme in personal combat and quickly overwhelmed the Jedi, disarming him and forcing a surrender. [34], The two Jedi constantly kept her on the defensive, forcing her to retreat. [35][36], Skywalker, Tano and Rotta made their way through the monastery to reach a landing pad, and then escaped from Ventress on a flying Can-cell and headed towards another mesa in the distance. [38], After Yoda destroyed her droid army and Katuunko swore allegiance to the Republic, Dooku ordered Ventress to slay the Toydarian King. Although she attempted to continue the attack, Ventress was disarmed of one of her lightsabers and forced to retreat aboard a Vulture-class droid starfighter. Ventress was viewed by Obi-Wan Kenobi as having immense willpower, with more experience in the Force than any Jedi. While Yoda was occupied using the Force to stop the rocks from crushing them, Ventress was able to escape and fled the moon in Dooku's solar sailer, which the Sith Lord had loaned to her.[38]. The resistance's casualties were low, but among them was Barrister Snoil, who gave his life to save Kenobi. [29], Ventress was created for the Legends animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars. [3], Ventress, Kenobi, and Skywalker left Coruscant aboard the Banshee and intercepted the Confederacy's fleet. [10] It is also possible that Ventress was capable of using the power Force Crush, as she attempted to use it to crush the heart of Jedi Master Fay during their confrontation. [20], As Ventress ran from the two remaining Jedi, Fay used the Force to send scrap flying at her. The Jedi had already fled deeper into the monastery, but their clone troopers remained behind to delay the Separatists forces for as long as possible. [9], The events on Ithor caused the Republic spirit to deteriorate, much to Ventress's liking. The display impressed Grievous, but Ventress rebuffed his praise and offers of reinforcement, instead insisting that she would retrieve the DNA on her own. [6], When Narec died at the hands of a Weequay raider,[1] Ventress tattooed her head and left her innocence behind. When the Republic frigate fled the system, Ventress insisted to Katuunko that it was a clear sign of the Jedi's inferiority; however, he did not yet believe her and was relieved when Yoda contacted him from the escape pod's crash site. [3], After a series of speeder chases, Ventress finally distanced herself from Vos and caught up to Moregi, but the Volpai used his four-armed physique to disarm and overpower the bounty hunter long enough to make his escape. The witches gained ground under her leadership until Grievous launched organic-incinerating defoliator missiles against the Dathomirians. [10], The scheme worked, and the Jedi Master tracked Ventress alone into the Tranquility's now-ruined and burning engine room. Ventress then managed to make her way into an escape pod and rendezvous with Argyus's ship. [33], In Obsession 5 (2005) it was stated that during Obi-Wan Kenobi's mission to return Ventress to the light on Boz Pity, she received a life-threatening wound from Skywalker, faked her death and disappeared into the unknown; wishing to be free of the Jedi, the war, and Dooku. At that moment she received a signal from Grievous, who was likewise fleeing a duel with a Jedi. After a battle between Grievous' forces and the Nightsisters, and a one on one battle between the general and Ventress, in which she was wounded, Dooku, fearing death from magic of Mother Talzin called off the search for Ventress and instead ordered the annihilation of the Nightsisters, to which Grievous complied. Her brutality and ruthlessness in battle against the clone armies of the Republic and Jedi Order garnered her a fearsome reputation. A definitive Legends Clone Wars timeline was never established by Lucasfilm. Ventress, having familiarized herself with the ship during her time under the count, guided the Jedi through the vessel towards the bridge, where they expected to find Vos. Over the following days, Ventress immersed Vos in the teachings and culture of the Nightsisters, insisting that their use of the dark side was superior to that of the Sith. She demonstrated her skills to Count Dooku during his visit to Rattatak, viciously killing off the competitors in the Cauldron in a furious display of bladework and raw power in the Force. She explained to Talzin what had happened with Opress and voiced her uncertainty over her own future now that revenge against Dooku appeared to be out of reach.
