Komari Vosa Komari Vosa was a female Human Jedi Padawan who ultimately succumbed to the allure of the dark side of the Force during the final years of the Galactic Republic . A once promising Padawan of the Jedi Order , as a fallen Jedi she became a crime lord through her position as the leader of the Bando Gora cult . The terror that her followers spread throughout the galaxy soon caught the attention of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious . Believing the deranged former Jedi to be a threat to his own vision for the future , Sidious ordered his apprentice , the Jedi apostate Darth Tyranus , to eliminate both Vosa and the Bando Gora . Tyranus , formerly the Jedi Master Dooku who instructed Vosa in the ways of the Force , placed a five million credit reward for the capture of Vosa — a contest that secretly aimed to determine the ideal genetic template for the Kaminoan clone army . The Mandalorian bounty hunter Jango Fett succeeded in subduing Vosa , impressing Tyranus despite Fett ' s lack of Force - sensitivity . With no further use for Vosa , the Dark Lord of the Sith telekinetically strangled his former apprentice to death . Biography . Jedi Order . A Force - sensitive Human female , Komari Vosa was recruited as a young child by the Jedi Order in accordance with tradition during the last century of the Galactic Republic . After completing her studies as a Jedi Initiate , Vosa became the Padawan learner of the Jedi Master Dooku in 50 BBY . Despite possessing a volatile temperament , Vosa proved to be a prodigious student in the ways of the Force , earning the respect of her Master who regarded Vosa as an excellent apprentice . Komari Vosa accompanied Master Dooku and a Jedi strike force to the planet Galidraan in 44 BBY with orders from the Jedi High Council to neutralize the True Mandalorians . The Jedi virtually annihilated their Mandalorian adversaries in the Battle of Galidraan ; Vosa herself demonstrated considerable skill with a lightsaber when she personally killed twenty experienced soldiers in combat . Though the Council later came to regret the massacre on Galidraan , Dooku was impressed by his apprentice ' s natural talents and believed that Vosa ' s future was all but secure in the ranks of the Order . Vosa ' s status as a rising star in the Jedi Order was cut short when her Master barred her from participating in the Jedi Trials . Dooku , along with the members of the Jedi Council , became aware of Vosa ' s secret infatuation with her legendary Master . This and her aggressive demeanor convinced the Order to end Vosa ' s training , thus deeming her unfit to become a Jedi Knight . Enraged at what she perceived as a betrayal by her Master and the Council , Vosa fled the Jedi Temple and joined a Jedi task force deployed to stop the Bando Gora ' s activities on Baltizaar . The mission was a disaster , however . The team was decimated and forced to retreat back to Coruscant ; many Jedi lost their lives and others were captured , including Vosa . Though the Order believed her to be dead , in truth Komari Vosa remained alive and was held as a prisoner by the mysterious cult in a dilapidated citadel on Kohlma , a burial moon orbiting Bogden . Subjected to torture and other forms of cruelty , Vosa was driven both mad and into the dark side of the Force . Embracing her rage , the deranged Jedi defeated her tormentors and replaced them as the new leader of the Bando Gora . Bando Gora . Komari Vosa — now a Dark Jedi and high priestess of the Bando Gora — maintained the citadel on Kholma as her base of operations from where she monitored her cult ' s activities throughout the galaxy with the aid of her chief lieutenant . Under Vosa ' s direction , the Bando Gora became a horrific icon of terror and intrigue , especially within the criminal underworld that became essential in her plot to expand the Bando Gora ' s influence and power . In order to do so , Vosa implanted brainwashing agents into death sticks , intending to use narcotics as a recruiting tool for the Bando Gora . The poisonous substances — mind - altering neurotoxins — were developed and conditioned to suppress individuality and free will , thus enabling Vosa to use her Force abilities to turn drug - addicts into mindless spies and assassins . This form of slavery gradually built her a small army of warriors that Vosa deployed on the enemies of her cult . The secrecy of the Bando Gora ' s operation necessitated the use of assets who retained their free will , leading Vosa to recruit criminals such as Gardulla the Hutt , Sebolto , and Groff Haugg ; the extent of her influence even infiltrated the ranks of the Galactic Senate , causing the corrupt Senator Connus Trell to serve Vosa as an agent of the Bando Gora . In short , her plan involved shipping the neurotoxic agents to Gardulla on Tatooine to cover her trail . The contraband cargo was then sent to Malastare , where Sebolto processed the poison into the death sticks before delivering the dangerously modified narcotics to Coruscant ' s underworld leaders , including Haugg , for smuggling . In the year 33 BBY , Vosa and the Bando Gora were involved with a plot to kill Hego Damask that was masterminded by the King of Naboo , Ars Veruna . Damask was secretly the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Plagueis , though none of the conspirators , including Alexi Garyn ' s Black Sun crime syndicate , knew this and wanted revenge against him for their own reasons . Plagueis ' s Sith apprentice Darth Sidious tried to manipulate events such that the plot would succeed . To enable the conspirators , he sent his own apprentice , Darth Maul , to the prison space station Cog Hive Seven , with the mission to contact arms dealer Iram Radique and deliver a nuclear device to the Bando Gora . Maul summoned Vosa to the station using a code provided by former Bando Gora member Artagan Truax . Vosa and her followers arrived on the station as it was being destroyed due to a combination of Maul ' s actions and an attack by Jabba the Hutt . She encountered a freshly wounded Maul , but she did not know of his intention to aid her , so she attacked him . This proved to be a mistake , as she didn ' t know that she was going up against a full - fledged Sith Lord . Their duel was interrupted by the Syrox , a monstrous being that inhabited the station . Vosa and Maul killed the Syrox together . Vosa now agreed to work with Maul to take possession of the nuclear device . They escaped the destruction of Cog Hive Seven . The Black Sun and Bando Gora conspirators , taking clandestine flight to the Carrion sector , deployed the newly acquired nuclear device on the moon of Sojourn , targeting Damask ' s fortress - residence and life - extension laboratories there . However , Jabba , through his spy network , had learned of the attack and was able to warn Damask , helping him to escape by personal rescue in the Hutt ' s space yacht " Star Jewel " . While the galaxy ' s senior Dark Lord planned vengeance on all of the conspiratorial parties , including King Veruna , Black Sun , and Gardulla ( whose fate he left to Jabba ) , Plagueis decided not to exact revenge on Vosa and the Bando Gora immediately . In the aftermath of the crisis on Naboo in 32 BBY , Darth Sidious — who was in fact the secret persona of the newly - elected Supreme Chancellor Palpatine — decided that the time had come to eliminate the leader of the Bando Gora . Sidious found Vosa to be a nuisance and was convinced that the demented Dark Jedi was a threat to his own plans for the future of the galaxy . By then , Vosa ' s former Master Dooku had renounced his allegiance to the Jedi Order and had secretly become Darth Tyranus , the new apprentice of the Dark Lord . While Dooku ' s decision was solidified by the death of his first apprentice Qui - Gon Jinn , who had helped resolve the Naboo crisis at the cost of his life , the drop which had earlier made the defection vase begin to overflow was when Dooku learned that Vosa was still alive and leading a group that could pose a threat to the Republic . Despite his initial reluctance , Tyranus complied with his Master ' s order to kill Vosa . In addition to dismantling the Bando Gora , the Sith Lord - in - training was also instructed to locate a suitable genotype that would serve as the basis for a massive army of clone soldiers . Placing a bounty on Vosa in the amount of five million Republic credits , Tyranus intended to accomplish both tasks with a single contest . At Sidious ' s suggestion , Tyranus hired several of the galaxy ' s most lethal mercenaries , including two Mandalorian soldiers - turned - bounty hunters Jango Fett and Montross . Groff Haugg and Senator Trell were both killed when Fett and Montross — working in competition against one another — tracked Komari Vosa ' s low - level operatives to Coruscant . Her spies relayed the setbacks to their operations on the Republic capital , but the Dark Jedi dismissed the lost assets as irrelevant , insisting that gangsters and corrupt politicians were easily replaceable . She was also unconcerned about the hunters who were tracking her , given that the location of her citadel remained unknown to all but a select few contacts . However , she did vow to have Fett and Montross killed if either of them made any more progress in their search for her . Fett ' s exploits on Malastare and Tatooine resulted in the loss of Sebolto and ( ostensibly ) Gardulla , thus disrupting the Bando Gora ' s operations even further , much to the annoyance of Komari Vosa . With most of her underworld contacts dead and the cult ' s criminal network in disarray , Vosa admitted that she had underestimated Fett and Montross . She then issued an order for the deaths of both mercenaries , turning the hunters into prey for the Bando Gora . With the aid of a female Toydarian named Rozatta , Jango Fett learned that Komari Vosa ' s hidden base was located on Kohlma . He traveled to the dark moon in order to finish the hunt , but was also trailed by Montross who sought to claim Tyranus ' s reward . After killing numerous Bando Gora assassins , including Montross in a final duel to the death , Fett fought his way to the front entrance of the citadel . Upon entering the fortress however , he was quickly overwhelmed and captured by Vosa ' s followers . The Bando Gora tortured the bounty hunter in order to discern the identity of his employer , but Fett refused to cooperate in spite of the physical pain he endured . Vosa used a more psychological approach when she took over the interrogation , recalling her achievements against the Mandalorians on Galidraan during her life as a Jedi . Amused at the persistence of Fett ' s resistance to her methods , Vosa promised to enslave Fett to her will . Fett was ultimately saved by Zam Wesell , a female Clawdite mercenary who followed him to Kohlma in the hopes of claiming the five million credits for herself . Although she killed two Bando Gora guards , Wesell ' s skills with a blaster were inefficient against Vosa ' s training in Jar ' Kai . Wielding two curved - hilted lightsabers , the fallen Jedi easily parried the blaster shots before redirecting a single stray bolt into Wesell ' s shoulder . As Vosa moved to decapitate the Clawdite , Wesell freed Fett of his restraints in desperation . Though momentarily caught off guard , Vosa retreated deeper into the center of the citadel with Fett in pursuit . Death . The former Jedi Padawan and the Mandalorian bounty hunter confronted each other in Komari Vosa ' s throne room . Outmatched by Vosa ' s lightsaber skills and Force powers , Fett relied on his JT - 12 jetpack and the advanced weaponry of his armor in order to stand a fighting chance against an opponent who was trained in the Jedi arts . He eventually defeated Vosa , but chose to spare her life as the reward was the same whether she was dead or alive upon capture . At that moment , Vosa felt nearby her old Master ' s presence in the Force . She then struggled for a few moments against his telekinetic grasp on her throat , but was ultimately throttled to death by Darth Tyranus . Although Tyranus was disappointed to lose a student as promising as Komari Vosa , he nonetheless congratulated Jango Fett for winning the contest . In addition to the five million credits , he offered to pay even more if the bounty hunter agreed to travel to Kamino to be cloned . Despite Fett ' s initial wariness , he agreed to become the template for a massive army of clones , all made in his own image and modified with accelerated growth and programmed obedience . He further complied with Tyranus ' s request that he personally oversee the clones ' development and training to ensure that they became the perfect warriors . However , Fett ' s consent was based on the condition that he be allowed to claim the first clone for himself ; a clone unmodified by genetic tampering and accelerated growth . Tyranus agreed to Fett ' s single demand and the two shook hands in agreement above Vosa ' s dead body , thus initiating the creation of the Grand Army of the Republic . Legacy . Near the commencement of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY , approximately one decade after Komari Vosa ' s death , Darth Tyranus began training an acolyte named Asajj Ventress , a female Nightsister of Dathomir , as his own personal assassin . A skilled fighter with training in Jar ' Kai , Ventress was given possession of Vosa ' s twin lightsabers by her new Master . By 20 BBY , Darth Sidious appeared to have forgotten neither Vosa and the Bando Gora nor Tyranus ' failed " experiment . " When he learned that the Jedi Council was investigating the last known whereabouts of the late Sifo - Dyas , he ordered Tyranus to cover his tracks immediately . Then he placed his apprentice in a Force Grip , reminding him of " the first time " he had fouled up . Indeed , Tyranus ' fondness for Komari Vosa had briefly jeopardized the Sith Grand Plan . Personality and traits . During her time with the Jedi Order , before turning to the dark side of the Force , Komari Vosa was regarded as a beautiful female Human , with sharp , angular features . The combination of torture and the physical effects of the dark side transformed her appearance . The Bando Gora inflicted dozens of small scars along her jawline and upper body , while the dark side changed her blond hair to a bone white color and her irises yellow . As a Jedi Padawan , Vosa possessed a strong spirit of aggression and a passion for combat , despite the Jedi Code ' s warnings against both emotions due to their seductive power that drew individuals to the dark side . Vosa was a headstrong apprentice , impatient but exceptionally talented in the Jedi arts . Although Dooku overlooked Vosa ' s characteristic flaws in deference to her remarkable skills as a Jedi , it was ultimately Vosa ' s growing infatuation with her distinguished Master that led to her banishment from the Jedi Order . Vosa viewed her banishment as blatant betrayal and abandonment by Dooku and the Order , causing her to become immersed in bitter resentment of both . Subjected to physical and psychological agony by the Bando Gora , Vosa lost her sanity and underwent a drastic personality change . The effects of torture and her broken psyche opened Vosa ' s mind to the dark side of the Force . As a Dark Jedi , she became malevolent and vindictive ; a deranged woman who reveled in her leadership of a cult composed of mindless , enslaved assassins . Vosa , still an enthusiast for battle , would give in to fits of hysterical laughter . While the combination of her madness and lack of ethics inspired fear throughout the criminal underworld , Darth Sidious perceived her to be insane and ultimately a threat to his own plans . Powers and abilities . A well - trained student in the Jedi arts , Komari Vosa was an accomplished practitioner in lightsaber combat . Though she demonstrated considerable skills as a duelist on Galidraan by personally vanquishing twenty Mandalorian warriors in battle , Vosa especially favored the use of paired lightsabers . A lethally efficient wielder of the Jar ' Kai combat form , Vosa was also talented in Soresu . On Galidraan , she was capable of deflecting numerous long - range attacks from the Mandalorians . She also utilized this defensive technique against Jango Fett and successfully blocked the majority of his attacks before her defeat . Soresu may have not been Vosa ' s only style . She had been able to redirect a blaster bolt towards Zam Wesell , suggesting a degree of Shien . She probably used Ataru while on the offensive , as she could perform acrobatic assaults . As her lightsabers had curved hilts , like that of her former mentor Dooku , she might have learned Makashi , which was common for the weapon variant of her selection ; Dooku was a renowned Makashi practitioner within the Jedi Order , so it would ' ve made sense if he had taught Vosa the form . Vosa had tested her dueling skills against Darth Maul at Cog Hive Seven and barely survived the encounter . While she may have had the advantage of two blades over Maul ' s one , the wounded Sith Lord denounced Jar ' Kai as " predictable . " He had learned the form from his master , Darth Sidious , which would ' ve taught him what to expect from a fellow practitioner of it . Once Maul utilized Juyo , Vosa realized that she was outmatched . As a Force - wielder , Komari Vosa was adept at mind control , particularly over her Bando Gora followers who became enslaved to her will . In addition to possessing enhanced speed and agility through the Force , Vosa was also trained in utilizing certain forms of telekinesis such as Force Push , Force Grip , and moving objects . Through Force sense , Vosa was capable of detecting the presence of other lifeforms and could also communicate with them through telepathy . Her immersion in the dark side provided Vosa with a powerful vitality , allowing her to sustain dozens of blaster bolts with only minimal injury . However , this left her careless as she constantly dropped her defenses to rush at Fett , allowing the bounty hunter to gradually wear her down through a series of relentless long - range attacks . In addition to her knowledge of Galactic Basic Standard , Vosa was also fluent in several other forms of communication such as Huttese and Kaminoan , as well as the ancient language of the Sith . Equipment . Lightsabers . As a Jedi Padawan , Komari Vosa wielded a single - bladed lightsaber that contained a blue crystal . This was the Jedi weapon that she used on Galidraan to kill twenty seasoned warriors during the Jedi Order ' s confrontation with the True Mandalorians . After her fall to the dark side of the Force , Vosa created two identical red - bladed lightsabers that contained a synthetic crystal . Both sabers were built with a curved - hilt , reflecting her former Jedi Master ' s own weapon . After Vosa ' s death , her lightsabers remained in Darth Tyranus ' s possession for years until he gave them both to Asajj Ventress . Behind the scenes . Komari Vosa was voiced by Tamara Phillips in " " . In an alternate ending to " Bounty Hunter " , if the player loses against Komari Vosa , she leaps onto Jango Fett ' s shoulders and slices his head off with her dual lightsabers , mirroring Fett ' s canon ical demise by in , and Dooku ' s death in . A date for Komari Vosa ' s apprenticeship to Dooku ( 50 BBY ) is given in the " Star Wars Annual 2008 " as part of a timeline in Dooku ' s article . However , since the timeline has other obvious continuity issues , the date may not be accurate . Assuming Vosa was 12 years old when she was chosen as a Padawan , this gives her an approximate birthdate of 62 BBY . She would then have been about 18 at the current placement of the Battle of Galidraan ( 44 BBY ) , and would have been captured by the Bando Gora at approximately age 23 in 39 BBY , or age 29 , if one subscribes to the dating of the Battle of Baltizaar ( 33 BBY ) in James Luceno ' s novel " Darth Plagueis " ; she would have died at age 24 , or age 30 , respectively .
