She later became Chief of Security of the Imperial Palace on Coruscant . Biography . From a young age , Sinn found herself attracted to men of " greatness . " However , Mirith eventually married a farmer named Jahren Sinn on Nez Peron during the early days of the Galactic Civil War . Jahren had business dealings with Baron Ragez D ' Asta , and Mirith ended up befriending the Baron ' s daughter , Feena . There was talk among the citizens of a Rebellion and an end to the Empire . However , Nez Peron remained an Imperial world despite its starving population . Jahren sought reform and justice and was elected to speak on behalf of Nez Peron ' s farmers . Jahren decided not to hand over their produce to the Empire . This was a doomed plan , as Darth Vader came to Nez Peron and smashed the blossoming resistance . Vader murdered Jahren Sinn himself , and his wife , Mirith , vowed her allegiance to the Rebel Alliance then and there , promising herself that she would keep fighting the Empire until it was no more . For the remainder of the war , Sinn served with the Alliance through the Battle of Endor and the creation of the New Republic . She served as a soldier in the New Republic ' s liberation of Mokk IX , where she cared for an injured Trandoshan named Sish Sadeet . After he recovered , Sadeet joined the New Republic and served as her second - in - command , forming a strong loyalty to her . Sinn — now a commander — led New Republic forces still actively fighting against the Empire . She had been found to be a natural - born leader , and would willingly lay her life down for the soldiers under her command . When Carnor Jax usurped the Imperial Interim Ruling Council , Sinn was stationed on Phaeda , leading and underground resistance force . It was then that Kir Kanos arrived . Kanos , the former Imperial Royal Guard who sought revenge for the death of Palpatine against Carnor Jax and the Interim Ruling Council , found his way to Phaeda and was given sanctuary by Tem Merkon . Sinn was initially very skeptical of Kanos ' s intentions . Kanos would gain the trust of Sinn and her Trandoshan lieutenant , Sish Sadeet , upon Colonel Xexus Shev ' s attack . Kanos nearly single - handedly saved the New Republic base from Shev ' s forces . Meanwhile , Carnor Jax was en route to Phaeda to apprehend Kanos . Sinn and Sadeet learned that Tem Markon had revealed Kanos ' s presence to Jax , who began proactively searching Phaeda . In disguise , Sinn attempted to retrieve Kanos ' s ship , but was captured by Jax ' s stormtroopers , believing her to be Kanos . Jax tortured Sinn , seeking the whereabouts of Kanos . As carefully planned by Kanos and Sinn , she revealed his location to be Yinchorr . Jax released Sinn and set out for Yinchorr . Along with Sadeet , Sinn followed . Upon her arrival on Yinchorr , Kanos and Jax were locked in mortal combat on The Squall . When Kanos nearly killed Jax , Sinn and Sadeet demanded to take him alive — something Kanos refused to allow . In attempting to wrest Kanos away from Jax , Sadeet was impaled and killed . Sinn was outraged and swore her revenge against Kanos , who left shortly thereafter , leaving Jax dead . Sinn went on to seek out Kanos in revenge for the death of Sadeet . However , she also became involved in the search for Feena D ' Asta and found her way to the den of Grappa the Hutt on Genon . Meanwhile , Kanos had infiltrated Grappa ' s entourage as the bounty hunter Kenix Kil , as part of his own agenda to eliminate the members of the Interim Ruling Council . Sinn soon discovered Feena D ' Asta and uncovered a Black Sun plot to replace Council members with clones . However , Sinn was found out by Grappa by a former subordinate of hers , Massimo . Massimo told Grappa what she was really up to , and he had them both sent to Xo , homeworld of the terrifying Zanibar . Kir Kanos stole an A - wing and followed , intent on rescuing Sinn . Sure enough , he found her just in time — Massimo had already been sacrificed in the Zanibars ' horrific ceremony . Kanos and Sinn fled from the Zanibar and crashed into the jungle , far from the Zanibar settlement . Together , they made their way through the jungle , fending off carnivorous plants and animals . Using an overcharged blaster to provide warmth , the two spoke with each other into the night . Sinn revealed to Kanos the story of her husband ' s death and asked whether the Empire Kanos believed in even existed . Despite their differences , they began to fall in love . The next morning , they were attacked by the Zanibar . Sinn , however , was rescued by a friend of Kanos ' s , leaving him behind and leaving Sinn distraught . Having lost Kanos , Sinn returned to New Republic space and learned that Kanos would be brought to Grappa on Genon . Sinn geared up and led a direct assault on Grappa ' s base and infiltrated it to rescue Kanos . Reunited , Sinn and Kanos moved on to their final task . On Ord Cantrell , Sinn and Kanos revealed Black Sun ' s cloning plot to Baron Ragez D ' Asta , who had also been reunited — with his daughter Feena . Kanos nearly killed Feena for her part in the Ruling Council , but Sinn stayed his hand , demanding to be even for Sadeet ' s death . Along came Xandel Carivus , " de facto " Emperor and the final target of Kanos ' s vendetta . He ordered his personal guards to kill Sinn and Kanos , who made short work of them . Kanos then pursued Carivus and killed him . Even though a number of Council members were still at large , Kanos decided he had done enough killing and ended his crusade . Sinn and Kanos returned to the New Republic battle fleet following the defeat of Xandel Carivus . Sinn had come to realize that Kanos had the same qualities of personality that had attracted her to Jahren . Despite Sinn ' s plea that Kanos remain with the New Republic — and with her — Kanos remained loyal to Palpatine ' s Empire . Before leaving in a borrowed X - wing , Kanos and Sinn shared one long , passionate , and final kiss . An Empire Lost . In 13 ABY , Sinn applied for the position of Chief of Security for the New Republic Chief of State Leia Organa Solo . One night , she was patrolling in the Palace when she discovered intruders . With the help of Leia Organa ' s Noghri bodyguards , she managed to eliminate them and save the Chief of State and her children . Soon after , she was contacted by Feena D ' Asta , who proposed negotiations about a truce between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant in the name of Admiral Pellaeon . Leia Organa Solo accepted this idea and agreed to let Mirith Sinn meet the Imperials . However , shortly before her departure , Kir Kanos arrived on Coruscant and was detained . Sinn met with Kanos in his cell , where he informed her of a plot by Devian to destroy the New Republic with a bomb of zinethium . Kanos and Sinn then informed Chief of State Leia Organa Solo and Luke Skywalker of the zinethium bomb . When Leia Organa Solo was reluctant to let Kanos leave , Sinn said she would meet with D ' Asta under the condition that Kanos left with her . Leia agreed to her terms . Kanos and Sinn arrived at the old mining operation where the meeting was being held . When the meeting began Basdor became angry that Kanos , who murdered Xandel Carivus , was there . Basdor left the meeting and immediately after D ' Asta , Kanos , and Sinn were attacked by Stormtroopers . Sinn and Kanos were able to kill the Stormtroopers who Kanos discovered were Ennix Devian ' s men , but D ' Asta had been killed in the attack . After informing Chief of State Leia Organa Solo of what had happened the both preceded to bring D ' Asta ' s body to her father the Baron . Upon arriving on Nez Peron , Sinn informed Kanos of the fact that she didn ' t think she believed in anything anymore after both of them had lost everyone close to them . They then met with the Baron . They told the Baron of the attack and how it was Ennix Devian ' s men who had killed his daughter . Devian ' s plan of Gilad Pellaeon attacking Coruscant while he attacked the heart of the Empire then became clear to them . The Baron then came up with a plan to show Pellaeon there was no treachery , and he reintroduced them to the clone of his daughter . As Pellaeon was being captured by Devian the Baron , the cloned Feena , Sinn , and Kanos entered . General Vota then tried to shoot Pellaeon but was killed by Sinn . A firefight erupted between Devian and Baron D ' Asta / Pellaeon ' s men . Devian then tried to kill Pellaeon , but his blater was shot by Sinn . Devian fled and Kanos went after him . When Sinn found Kanos , he had already killed Devian and been injured himself . Sinn told him how Pellaeon planned to detain Kanos due to the numerous warrants on his head and that Baron D ' Asta had indicated to Sinn that he would shelter them . Sinn and Kanos went to take Devian ' s shuttle to meet with one of the Baron ' s warships when Kanos began to collapse due to his injury . Later on Coruscant , Sinn was questioned by Leia Organa Solo , Luke Skywalker , and three others about Konas and the attempted bombing of the Palace . Sinn responded that Konas had no idea the bomb was in the ship and that Kanos was dead . She then told them to accept her resignation and left . Kanos ' " death " was Sinn ' s scheme to stop everyone from looking for him when in truth he had been hiding in the D ' Astan system until he recovered . Behind the scenes .
