During this skirmish , she was hit by multiple projectiles and succumbed to her wounds . Biography . Taymor was a member of the Lost Tribe of Sith , a group of Human Sith who had settled on the planet Kesh during the Great Hyperspace War . She grew up during the Hilts Restoration and participated in the Tribe ' s efforts to reach and conquer Alanciar , another continent in Kesh ' s southern hemisphere . Taymor became adept at thought projection , a Force ability which enabled the Tribe to transmit emotions and messages irrespective of distance . In 2975 BBY , she participated in the Tribe ' s expeditionary mission to Alanciar and served aboard the airship " Candra " . Taymor was part of a ten - person crew that included Captain Edell Vrai , the uvak - tenderer Peppin , five warriors including Ulbrick and Janns , and two Keshiri ambassadors including Tellpah . Her captain Vrai had invented the Tribe ' s airships after discovering that methane extracted from the volcano Sessal Spire could be used as hydrogen to power gasbags . Taymor and the Sith scouting expedition traveled across the Western Sea to Alanciar ' s southeastern peninsula region known as the Six Claws . Upon arriving off the coast of Alanciar , she sent a Force impression of the continent ' s coast . Taymor also sensed that there was a high concentration of emotions and energy in Alanciar , which meant that it was home to a large population . However , she and Vrai did not see any urban centers . Shortly later , the other two airships " Lillia " and " Dann Itra " were destroyed by black javelins fired from Alanciari ballista emplacements in the Six Claws . Thus , the Sith had made contact with the Keshiri living on Alanciar but quickly learnt that they had a strong military that was capable of resisting invasion . Prior to her death , Taymor managed to send a telepathic message back to the Tribe ' s capital of Tahv which conveyed shock , surprise , and confusion . This gave the Tribe some warning that something had befallen Edell ' s expedition and that the Alanciari were capable of resisting any Sith invasion . Before she could complete her message , she was hit by diamond flak projectiles which punctured the hejarbo flooring beneath her . Edell witnessed her death and noted that her body was lacerated with dozens of shining diamond projectiles . Taymor ' s body was presumably burnt or destroyed after the " Candra " crashed near the Alanciari fort of Point Defiance . Despite her death , Edell and six other Sith expeditionary members managed to survived the skirmish . These managed to capture two Alanciari Keshiri , the signal officer Jogan Halder and his lover Wardmaster Quarra Thayn , and also managed to gain access to invaluable intelligence on what the Alanciari already knew about the Sith . Edell ' s crew then hijacked an Alanciari harvester " Mischance " which they used to return to their continent of Keshtah Minor via the Southern Passage and Sea of Flames . In the end , the Sith managed to conquer Alanciar by using Jogan Halder to convince the Alanciari that the Sith did not actually pose a threat to them . Personality and traits . Taymor was a skilled and talented thoughtcrier who was capable of sending messages through the Force . She was loyal and obedient to her captain Edell Vrai during the Lost Tribe of Sith ' s expeditionary mission to Alanciar , a new continent . Behind the scenes . Taymor first appeared as a minor non - point - of - view character in John Jackson Miller ' s novella " " which was released on July 24 2012 as part of the mass paperback " " .
