Kory completed the task and survived Spindrall ' s tests , but was judged by the elder Sith to be unworthy of training in the dark side of the Force . As such , Harkun executed Kory upon her return to him , ending the young acolyte ' s short career . Biography . Kory was a Human female alive during the turbulent period of galactic peace between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic as established by the Treaty of Coruscant . She hailed from the worlds of the Sith imperium but was born into a low social class . As an Imperial citizen of low birth , Kory was relegated to the status of slave , but she was eventually found to be Force - sensitive and so was inducted into the Sith Order , per Imperial law . The young woman began her training as a lowly acolyte , but around 3643 BBY , she was summoned to the Sith holy world of Korriban to become a student at the legendary Sith Academy on the planet . The young Sith was summoned to the world to participate in a series of trials designed to find an apprentice for the Sith Lord known as Zash . Kory and five other former slaves — Balek , Wydr , Gerr , Niloc , and a sixth acolyte — were all chosen because of their humble backgrounds ; Zash had prophesied that her apprentice would be of low birth , and so commanded the academy ' s Overseer Harkun to supervise the trials of the six acolytes and weed out the weak and unfit . Harkun , a harsh and bigoted trainer , gathered the hopefuls at the Korriban Arrival Port overlooking the Valley of the Dark Lords . There , he explained that Zash ' s first trial for them would be to enter the tomb of the ancient Dark Lord of the Sith Ajunta Pall . Within , they were to locate and be judged by the hermit Sith Lord Spindrall , whose opinion Zash held in high regard . After the initiates were given their first task , Harkun singled out the sixth acolyte , who had arrived late , for harassment . Before leaving to find Spindrall , Kory offered her peer some reassuring words of encouragement . She then proceeded into the Valley of the Dark Lords and from there , into the Tomb of Ajunta Pall . Kory succeeded in finding Spindrall within the crypt ' s Sacrificial Chamber , where she was challenged by the elder Sith and ultimately judged as weak and unworthy . The acolyte left the tomb in order to meet up once more with her fellow students and Overseer Harkun , this time within the academy itself . Harkun had received word from Spindrall regarding his judgments of the students , and decided to make an example of Kory . To that end , the overseer called Kory forward during the meeting and announced that Spindrall had declared her to be unfit . Harkun followed up by shooting Kory with a blast of Force lightning , executing the young woman before her gathered peers . Personality and traits . Kory was a red - haired human with blue - green eyes and fair skin . She was youthful at the time of her Sith training and had a large and uneven scar on the right side of her face . Unlike many Sith at the academy on Korriban , Kory was neither vindictive nor competitive . She readily offered encouragement and reassurance to her fellow acolyte when the student was being harassed by Harkun , despite the fact that the rest of the acolytes ran ahead to complete their first trial . Kory also failed to impress Spindrall , who evaluated his visitors on their ability to comprehend and adhere to the Code of the Sith , which was based on passion and power . Her inability to embody the tenets of the code gave Harkun an excuse to murder her and use her death as an example for her peers . Behind the scenes .
