She was once his best dancer, the object of both his affections and abuse.

But after years as his slave, this nameless waif managed a daring escape from Jabba’s palace, using her fledgeling Force powers. Alone and afraid, she wandered the deserts of Tatooine until she came to Mos Eisley, where she used a primitive version of the Jedi mind trick to arrange passage off the planet.

One day, she’s found by a Sith Lord who senses her potential and trains her as his apprentice. But before she can graduate to the ranks of the Sith she must return to the place where her personhood was stripped from her and take bloody revenge on the one who took it.

Slaying guards, bounty hunters, and other wicked denizens of Jabba’s palace, she works her way to his inner court, where the memories of her life as a slave come rushing back. She hesitates, the emotions overpowering, the memories of years of pain and abuse and denigration washing over her. Tears spill from her eyes as she focuses on the object of her greatest hatred: Jabba the Hutt.

Instead of wiping the tears away, she uses them to fuel a ferocious attack on his final guards, felling them one after another in quick succession. At long last, she focuses her rage on Jabba himself, first choking him with the Force, then pulling back at the last second to let him breathe. Twice more she repeats this, bringing him to the brink of death, letting him feel the excruciating pain and horror of impending doom, before letting him live. Just as the tiniest grain of hope is planted within him that she might show mercy and let him live, she activates her lightsaber and moves like lightning, severing his head with cold, quiet vengeance.

She is a victim no more. She is only Sith.

Inspired by Blake Henriksen's powerful painting Sith Revenge.
