She studied the ways of the Sith alongside her twin brother , Xash , under an aged Sith sorcerer named Thannor Keth . From Keth , Sindra learned the art of lightsaber combat , as well as how to harness the power of the dark side of the Force . Sindra and her brother joined Keth in pursuit of a young girl of incredible Force potential named Nova , who , along with her parents , was on a starship that crash - landed on the world of Vigil . During the chase , Keth ' s ship crashed as well and suffered nominal damage . Sindra and Xash were sent to survey the wreckage of Nova ' s ship and retrieve the girl , whom Keth believed to still be alive , while the sorcerer attempted to repair the craft . They searched the jungles of Vigil and eventually found the girl under the protection of an inhabitant of the planet , a man named Lian Dray . Confronting a Jedi . Though her brother believed that Dray was a Jedi , Sindra determined through her Force sense that Dray was not quite a follower of the light side . They were both dismissed by the man , who gave them permission to scavenge the wreckage of Nova ' s ship before ordering them to leave his home . Sindra refused the offer and demanded that Dray turn over the girl to them . She then prepared to face the Jedi in combat , but Xash — confident in his ability to defeat the man — stepped in front of her and confronted him . Xash was quickly defeated by Dray , who severed Xash ' s weapon hand in the process . Sindra ignited her red - bladed lightsaber and joined the battle , connecting with a slash to Dray ' s back . The following attack was parried , forcing Sindra into what eventually became a protracted lightsaber duel with her opponent . She capitalized on the success of her initial attack by engaging in a relentless offensive , the pace of which Dray could not maintain in his injured condition . He attempted to sweep Sindra ' s legs from under her , but she blocked that attack while using the hilt of her lightsaber to strike him in the face and knock him down . Sindra stood over her seemingly - defeated opponent and mocked him as he lay on the ground . However , her cackling only served as the catalyst for Dray ' s subsequent surrender to the dark side ; Sindra barely managed to deflect his onslaught as he attacked her with his hate . She escaped his wrath when Xash charged from behind , forcing the Jedi to defend his rear . Sindra took advantage of the interruption and used the Force to squeeze Dray ' s heart . Her attack crippled him for a moment , but Dray again gave in to the dark side and blasted Sindra with a burst of Force lightning . Her brother attempted to free her from her torment but was killed when Dray used the Force and slammed him into a nearby tree . Sindra still laid prostrate on the ground when the Jedi moved in and finished her with a stroke of his lightsaber . Personality and traits . Sindra was nearly identical to her twin brother in size and stature . She was svelte , graceful , and fast , and moved with a sinuous gait that completely mirrored her brother ' s . While Nova feared Sindra and Xash upon sight , Sindra was afraid of the young girl ' s custodian , especially after he embraced the dark side to do battle with her . Her master ' s wishes were nonetheless her utmost priority , and she was more than willing to kill Lian Dray to execute Thannor Keth ' s will . She was confident in her ability to defeat the Jedi and berated him with condescending laughter upon her initial victory over him in combat . Powers and abilities . Sindra wielded a red - bladed lightsaber in battle with a loose , two - handed style . She employed traditional techniques while dueling , such as angling her blade high above her head prior to initiating an attack . She demonstrated speed and cunning , which afforded her an early advantage over Lian Dray in the beginning of their duel . She gave partial quarter in combat before unexpectedly unleashing blinding flurries to overwhelm her opponent and even fashioned her lightsaber hilt as a bludgeon while engaged in close combat , which she used to split Dray ' s lip . Her advantage was eventually lost , however , when Dray submitted himself to the dark side and quickly overpowered her . Sindra exhibited considerable power in the dark side of the Force and was the stronger sibling between she and Xash . She bolstered her strength with her hatred and , in doing so , radiated with a dark aura that her enemy was able to perceive . She sensed Lian Dray ' s own Force aptitude , though only after the Jedi allowed her to do so . Sindra was able to incapacitate Dray by constricting his heart through the Force , but her hold was broken by the Jedi ' s superior command of the dark side . She was unable to counteract his Force lightning , which held her effectively at bay while Dray dispatched her brother . When the twin bond Sindra and Xash shared was abruptly severed upon his death , Sindra experienced noticeable anguish before being killed herself by Dray . Behind the scenes .
