Morrigan Corde Morrigan Corde was a Human female who served as an Imperial Intelligence agent before and during the Sith – Imperial War and later a Moff in the Moff High Council of the new Galactic Empire around 137 ABY under the persona of Nyna Calixte . While out in the field , she had a chance meeting with Kol Skywalker , a member of the Jedi Council . The pair fell in love , married and had a son , Cade . However , claiming that the Empire recalled her back into service , Morrigan left her new family when Cade was still a toddler . Shortly afterward , she abandoned her true identity for approximately two decades , assuming the persona of Nyna Calixte . As Calixte , Corde became the Director of Imperial Intelligence , and was later appointed a Moff . She entered into a marriage with fellow Moff Rulf Yage , and they had a daughter , Gunn . However , the marriage would prove to be short lived , and Calixte entered into an affair with another Moff , the more powerful Morlish Veed . When the One Sith approached the Empire in 128 ABY offering to help in the Empire ' s war against the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances , they did so through Calixte . She manipulated the other Moffs into accepting the Sith ' s offer , then plotted with Veed to place him on the Imperial throne . However , her plan was foiled when Darth Krayt claimed the throne for himself . In 137 ABY , she " reactivated " her Morrigan Corde persona to help keep Cade Skywalker from being turned to the dark side of the Force by the Sith . She also began to feed information to Roan Fel to undermine the Sith efforts to enforce their absolute rule throughout the galaxy and win back Fel ' s trust . Biography . Early life . Prior to the Sith – Imperial War , Corde operated under her true identity of Morrigan Corde and was employed as an Imperial Intelligence agent . While out in the field , she met and fell in love with Kol Skywalker , a member of the Jedi Council . After being paired together on a mission , the pair secretly married , with Kol ' s brother Nat being one of the very few people that knew about the marriage . Kol and Corde had a son , Cade , and Corde spent around two years away from her Imperial Intelligence job to raise him . During this time , Imperial Intelligence had considered Corde as missing in action , and she eventually felt trapped in her new role as the non - Force - sensitive mother to a Skywalker child . Corde believed that she had a different path to follow than that of Kol and the Jedi , and she felt that by her continuing her military career , she was doing the right thing . In the face of objections from Kol , Corde decided that leaving her husband and young son was what was required of her . Shortly after returning to Imperial Intelligence in 117 ABY , Morrigan Corde retired from the field , and she would not operate under the identity again until 137 ABY . As " Nyna Calixte " , another identity , she rose rapidly through the ranks of Imperial Intelligence , eventually becoming the head of the department . At some point she was also appointed to the position of Moff , although some of her colleagues on the Council of Moffs insinuated that she had not earned the honor through merit alone . Also around this time , she married and later divorced her fellow Moff Rulf Yage , and together they had a daughter , Gunn . Nyna had very little to do with Gunn ' s upbringing , and Gunn despised her mother for leaving her and her father and entering into an affair with Morlish Veed , an affair that Calixte hoped would benefit her politically . In 126 ABY , Nyna was aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer above the planet Wayland . At the same time , a damaged shuttle carrying Kol Skywalker , his son Cade , Jedi Knight Wolf Sazen and the Vong Master Shaper Nei Rin fled the planet after an attack caused by the sabotage of the Ossus Project , which had turned Wayland ' s inhabitants into Vongspawn . Calixte ' s Star Destroyer rescued the vessel and the former lovers met again . Though Skywalker did not betray Nyna ' s former identity , she nonetheless refused to speak to her son , even though he had not recognized her . The Sith - Imperial War . When the One Sith first approached the Empire in an effort to aid them in their war against the Galactic Alliance , they did so through her . The Sith had engineered the war in an attempt to destabilize the galaxy , after sabotaging the Ossus Project and using the lingering hatred many still felt against the Yuuzhan Vong for their invasion over one hundred years ago to shift the blame . The Empire declared war against both the Galactic Alliance and the Jedi , and when the Sith approached the Empire with their help , Calixte manipulated the other Moffs into allying with the Sith behind Emperor Roan Fel ' s back . Appealing to the Moffs ' greed for power , she then secured their cooperation and received the approval of the Moffs to join the war on their side . In 130 ABY , Fel discovered the extent of the Sith conspiracy , and realized that Calixte was behind it . After angrily confronting her and almost killing her with his lightsaber , he backed down only when he received a communication from Morlish Veed that the Galactic Alliance had surrendered . Shortly after accepting the surrender of the Galactic Alliance , Roan Fel stated that he wanted to send a diplomatic mission to the Jedi on Ossus , with the intent of persuading them to join the Empire . When Rulf Yage and Darth Nihl instead led an attack on the Jedi , Calixte expressed her disapproval to Darth Maladi , stating that the attack had gone off without the approval or knowledge of both the Emperor and the other Moffs . Confident that the Jedi massacre would provide a cause to depose Fel as Emperor , Calixte and Veed celebrated what they thought was Veed ' s imminent promotion at his apartment . However , Calixte was suspicious of the Sith ' s motives , although she did not share these suspicions with Veed . Calixte then took it upon herself to sneak over to Roan Fel ' s quarters and informed him that it would be in his best interest to flee . When Fel questioned why she was helping him , she informed him that she knew that Darth Krayt was going to install himself as Emperor , and that Fel ' s survival was in the interests of both her and Fel . Fel reluctantly agreed and sent a double in his place , secretly making his escape with Imperial Knight Antares Draco at his side . Once Darth Krayt had installed himself on the throne after killing Roan Fel ' s double , he sent Maladi to Calixte ' s quarters to get the Moff to explain herself , since she had advised the Sith that Fel would be present . Calixte said that the Sith underestimated Fel , and that they needed both her and Veed to keep the other Moffs united . Maladi relented , but stated that although Calixte could keep Imperial Intelligence largely unchanged , she now had to report to Maladi . The search for her son . In 137 ABY , she attended the torture session of the captured Jedi Hosk Trey ' lis in Darth Maladi ' s laboratory . After witnessing Maladi torturing the Jedi in order to get information on a bounty hunter named Cade , Calixte received orders from Maladi to locate the bounty hunter . Calixte queried Maladi on the Sith ' s interests in locating and capturing Cade . However , Maladi , unaware that Calixte was also Morrigan Corde , offered no answers other than it was Darth Krayt ' s order and should not be questioned . After Calixte pointed out that she needed all available info to do her job properly , Maladi offered up the fact that Cade was a Skywalker . Armed with this piece of information , Calixte returned to her quarters and had a discussion with Veed regarding Cade ' s importance . They decided that they would try and get to him first , in order to use him as a pawn against the Sith . For this purpose , she " hired " Morrigan Corde , as she did not trust any of Maladi ' s agents . After viewing one of Calixte ' s security cam feeds from a gambling haven called the Wheel , they discovered that the Wheel was Cade ' s last known location . Using her true name again , Morrigan Corde traveled to the Wheel and encountered Jor Torlin , an agent of Maladi ' s sent by Sith Intelligence . Corde set up a brawl to test his mettle and helped him defeat his assailants . In repayment , Torlin turned on her , but not before she sprayed him with a knockout gas , rendering him unconscious . Calixte then proceeded to carry Torlin back to his ship , the " Raider " . Reaching the ship , Corde told the Wheel ' s security that Torlin was overserved . Apparently satisfied with the explanation , they let the pair on board . Corde then proceeded to tie the still - unconscious Torlin to a chair and familiarize herself with the ship and its weapons . When Torlin woke up , she berated him for trying to kill her , and then proceeded to threaten to kill him . After Torlin called her bluff , the pair reluctantly formed a partnership . They discussed possible locations that Skywalker might have gone , and since he was no longer on the Wheel , Corde suggested they take care of some other business while they were there . When Torlin expressed surprise that there was other business to take care of , Corde again berated him for not seeing the bigger picture . She explained that there were two shuttles parked at the Wheel : one belonged to Admiral Gar Stazi of the Galactic Alliance , and the other was a ship that had defected to Roan Fel ' s faction of the Empire . After pointing out that Stazi and Mingo Bovark , Fel ' s emissary , were discussing an alliance , she suggested breaking up the negotiations , but to do it in a way that made it seem like both parties were going to blame the other . Torlin then proposed using several Command Override Limpet Droid s on the Imperial vessel , and once they were attached , the pair overrode the commands of the Imperial shuttle from Torlin ' s ship and shot at the Galactic Alliance shuttle . The incident was a success : Stazi blamed Bovark for the incident , and the Imperials loyal to Fel were banned from ever setting foot on the Wheel . Once they had ended the potential alliance , Calixte and Torlin resumed their mission to find Cade Skywalker . The pair traveled to Ossus , with Corde saying it was more likely he was there instead of their other potential destination , Hapes . Upon reaching Ossus , Torlin decided that it was time to end their collaboration . When he tried to shoot Corde , she released a nerve toxin from an ampule she had implanted in his body while he was under the effect of the gas on the Wheel , killing him . After watching a hologram of her and Kol , she decided to leave Cade alone , unable to bear the thought of seeing him again . Rescuing Cade . Back in her Calixte persona , she contacted the Feeorin pirate Rav and arranged to capture Cade ' s friends Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn , in order to interrogate them regarding Cade ' s whereabouts . After Rav had turned the pair over to her , she used an interrogator droid on Blue and Syn when they refused to divulge anything about Cade . Realizing that she could not gain anything more from the duo , Calixte turned the pair over to the Sith . Following this , Calixte was present at a gathering of the Moff Council where she was instructed by Maladi to call off the search for Cade Skywalker . Upon inquiring why , Maladi simply advised Calixte that it was not her concern anymore . After the meeting , Calixte eventually learned from Rulf Yage that Gunn was among those who spotted Cade ' s ship on Coruscant . Believing that her daughter might hold some key information about Skywalker , Calixte interrupted a private dinner between Gunn and Rulf . After receiving a cold welcome from both her daughter and former lover , Calixte questioned Gunn on what she had seen during the pursuit of Skywalker ' s ship — combining Gunn ' s testimony with what she already knew , Calixte was able to deduce that Cade was on Coruscant and had been captured by the Sith . Realizing the importance of the information she had learned , Calixte shared this information with her current lover , Morlish Veed . Believing that he could use Skywalker as a pawn against the Sith , Veed promptly hired Morrigan Corde to remove Cade from the Sith Temple and bring him into Veed ' s custody . Preserving her alternate identity , Calixte , as Corde , sneaked into Veed ' s room later that night and demanded two things : that he turn over to her the three dozen Yuuzhan Vong thud bugs that the Imperials recently confiscated from the criminal organization known as Black Sun , and to pull his " Predator " - class fighter off the Temple on her signal . After Veed made some unwanted sexual advances toward her , he agreed to her demands , thus giving Corde room to leave . Following her encounter at Veed ' s apartment , Corde managed to locate Deliah Blue and Jariah Syn at Rik ' s Cantina , located in the undercity of Coruscant . Syn and Blue were freed from the Sith Temple by Cade , who promised to pledge himself to the Sith and their teachings in exchange for their freedom . At the moment Corde walked in , Blue and Syn were locked in an argument with rival smugglers Kee and Chak over the fate of Cade ' s ship , the " Mynock " , and its possible use in rescuing Cade from the Sith . Upon overhearing Blue exclaim to the other three smugglers that she wasn ' t leaving Coruscant until they rescued Cade , Corde interrupted the group of smugglers and insisted that she had a plan to rescue him from the Sith . Managing to bribe the cantina ' s owner into silence , Corde presented her plan to the four smugglers present . During the course of the conversation , Corde advised them that Cade was her son — Syn , however , refused to believe her . Nevertheless , Chak was able to confirm that the holo she presented to the group , which displayed herself with Kol Skywalker and a young Cade , was in fact real . Upon this discovery , Corde received the grudging support from the four smugglers . With her plan to rescue Cade starting to take shape , Corde advised the group to fly to the coordinates she had specified and wait . Back in her Calixte persona , she found out that Veed was going to deliver the thud bugs to Corde personally . However , Calixte accused Veed of being attracted to Corde , and she stated that she was going to make the delivery to Corde herself . Later on , as Corde , she delivered the thud bugs to the " Mynock " and tasked Syn and Kee with modifying them , requesting that some be made to act as spy cameras . The rest were to act as " boom bugs " , which were bugs with explosives attached to them . Once the pair had completed their task , Calixte disguised herself as a Sith , and managed to infiltrate the Sith Temple in order to plant the bugs in an effort to track Cade . Three weeks after the bugs were planted , one of the spy bugs located Corde ' s query . Corde tasked Syn with three specific jobs : first , he was to key a specific spy bug to follow Cade ; second , Syn was to place another spy bug outside Krayt ' s chambers ; lastly , he was to move all of the boom bugs near a hangar at the Sith Temple . The plan was to proceed once Cade was near a window or some other accessible spot ; at that point , they would then attempt their rescue . When Cade was spotted to be on the move by one of Syn ' s spy bugs , Calixte ordered the rescue team to get into position . The spy bug in question had recorded Cade being captured and brought to Darth Krayt ' s chambers by Darth Talon , who suspected he was just pretending to follow the Sith teachings . After being confronted about his lack of loyalty to the Sith by Krayt , Cade then engaged Darth Talon , Darth Nihl , and eventually Darth Krayt himself , in lightsaber combat . After Corde ordered the " Mynock " to position itself near the window of Krayt ' s room at the Sith Temple , she ordered Syn to use the boom bugs to blow up the Sith hangar in order to create a diversion . Using a rocket pack to fly up to the window near Krayt ' s chambers , Corde shot Darth Krayt in the back as he was dueling Cade Skywalker . Cade took this opportunity to escape , with Jariah Syn catching him as he jumped out the window . With Cade on board the " Mynock " , Corde had a short conversation with him via a comlink , in which she told him that she was his mother and that she would not answer any questions he may have . She did , however , make one request of him : to run as far away as possible . Corde proceeded to state that she had an alternate escape route , and used her rocket pack to fly away . Aftermath . Back at Calixte ' s apartment , Veed discussed with her the reports of Cade ' s escape from the Sith Temple and the Sith ' s anger because of it . During the conversation , Veed noticed the choker that Calixte wore in her Corde guise lying on a table and asked Calixte about it . Calixte replied that it was a " family heirloom , " and took it from him . The pair then made plans to order in some food , but she insisted they do so later , and at his place . Veed then took his leave , and after Calixte got prepared , she activated the choker and viewed the Skywalker family holo that emerged , telling her son to run . A turning tide . Some time later , Emperor Krayt and his most trusted Sith Lords - Darths Wyyrlok , Stryfe , Maladi and Talon - departed for Had Abbadon . After arriving , they were ambushed by a group of Jedi and Imperial Knights led by Cade Skywalker . The fight resulted in Krayt ' s death , but at the hands of Darth Wyyrlok , not the Jedi . When the Sith returned to Coruscant , Lord Wyyrlok announced Krayt had been placed in stasis on Korriban after suffering severe injuries and that Wyyrlok would rule the Empire as Regent . Calixte discussed the situation with Veed , and the two Moffs decided to uncover the truth concerning Krayt . While Veed was summoned to a meeting with Lord Wyyrlok , Calixte told him that she would be absent while trying to find a way to infiltrate Korriban , which had been declared off limits to all non - Sith . Calixte told her lover to listen to Wyyrlok , but not to agree to anything until she returned to discuss it . In a plan to put her daughter ' s black ops training to the test , Corde , as Calixte , sent her daughter Gunn Yage to Tatooine to meet with Nieve Gromia , Moff of the Arkanis sector , who had been tasked with stopping a series of pirate attacks on Imperial shipments . Black Sun pirates had been stealing Imperial shipments in the sector for months , but lately Cade Skywalker and his crew began to interfere and take the cargo for themselves , upsetting a deal that was secretly struck between Gromia and Lun Rask , Black Sun ' s Vigo in the Arkanis sector . Calixte informed her daughter that she would have Morrigan Corde as backup , and that Corde would meet up with her on Tatooine . When Yage met with Moff Gromia , the latter was surprised to learn that Corde had reappeared after so many years . Upon viewing recent intelligence provided to her by Gromia , Yage identified the ship that had been preying on the shipments and named its captain . Gromia ordered Yage to infiltrate Mos Eisley and capture Cade , but in secret Gromia contacted Rask , prompting him to send three assassins to hunt down both Yage and Skywalker . Yage succeeded in capturing Cade . However , when Morrigan Corde arrived , Yage informed her that she reported to Gromia first , per regulations . Corde pointed out that the regulations did not apply to covert ops . She warned her daughter that Gromia ' s constant failures indicated a leak to Black Sun who would kill Yage , but the younger woman replied that she had the situation under control . Later that night , Corde found Syn , who had been chased off by an angry Twi ' lek for flirting with his wife by pretending to be a Jedi . She enlisted his help to track Cade and Gunn . However , their search was delayed by a sandstorm , forcing them to take cover in a cave . While Syn was willing to wait it out , Corde pointed out the possibility that Cade might have been killed . Syn assured her that he and Cade had been through worse . As the two talked , she asked Syn if he had ever thought about joining the Empire . When the storm cleared , the pair located Cade and Gunn at an abandoned moisture farm , where they were attacked by the Black Sun assassins : a Blood Carver named Ku Vrat and Nakia and Sint Yoru , an Anzati couple . Calixte engaged Ku Vrat but he struck her to the ground . Before Vrat could kill Corde , she fired a poison dart into his neck . Deciding that his foe should die along with himself , Vrat once again knocked Calixte to the ground . Before he could deliver the finishing blow , he was struck by Syn ' s Vong bugs , which killed him . Meanwhile , Cade and Gunn killed Sint Yoru and captured Nakia . Corde and Yage engaged in a discussion until the older woman slapped Yage and told her that evidence pointed towards Gromia , who had already been involved in a corruption scandal , being the informant . Afterwards , Yage confronted Gromia , though the situation ended with the Moff dead . Meanwhile , Corde , Cade and Syn took the " Anzat One " , Nakia and Sint ' s starship , and went after Rask , who operated from a station on the planet Kaer . On the way there , Cade confronted his mother for abandoning him and his father . Corde admitted that she had known of the Sith manipulation behind the war but didn ' t anticipate that they would attack Ossus . She also admitted that she loved both Kol and Cade . As the " Anzat One " arrived at Rask ' s base , they forced Nakia to dock the ship ; Corde told the Anzat that she had been injected with a poison while in stasis and that Corde would give her the antidote if she cooperated . Cade confronted Rask at lightsaber point , forcing the Houk into a deal to steal from the rest of the Vigos . However , Corde shot Rask , causing Cade to turn on his mother and Force choke her , even though she argued that Rask was lying and wouldn ' t allow them to leave the station . Cade then unleashed Force lightning at her , as he had promised he wouldn ' t kill the Vigo . As Corde tried to reason with Cade saying she was his mother , he kept attacking her , full of anger for her abandonment . Corde ' s life was saved by then the intervention of Syn . The more calmed Cade ordered his mother to leave . As Cade and Syn left on the " Anzat One " , Nakia begged Corde for the antidote ; Corde complied and gave her the a vial , with a content of true poison . Operation : Thunderstroke . Back on Coruscant , Nyna learned that , against her advice , Veed had accepted Wyyrlok ' s offer to be made Regent of the Empire , though still under the authority of the Chagrian Sith Lord , which made him the public face of the Empire and the one to answer for any potential atrocity committed by the Sith . At a meeting with the Moff Council , Nyna learned of the implementation of and that Veed ' s sources — Sith , not Calixte — had informed him of a spy loyal to the deposed Emperor Fel . At his office Calixte approached Veed and criticized him for accepting the title of Regent without consulting her . Veed then lashed out at a surprised Calixte , telling her that they were never equals , and that he was only using her until her usefulness ran out . Though Veed ordered Nyna to remain on Coruscant , she nonetheless infiltrated the " Pellaeon " - class Star Destroyer " War Hammer " , disguised as an Imperial Navy officer . As the vessel prepared to make its way to Agamar to capture Roan Fel at a meeting with representatives of the Jedi Order , Nyna left the ship aboard a starship alongside a cargo drop programmed for Wayland , where she hadn ' t been to since before the Sith - Imperial War . As there was no one registered for the drop site and she was unable to relay a message to Emperor Fel without it being detected by Rulf Yage , commanding officer of the " War Hammer " , she decided to make her way to Agamar to save the Emperor . Once on Agamar orbit , and unable to reach Emperor Fel , Calixte decided to land far from the meeting so as to avoid being attacked . She bought the hat , cloak and mount from a farmer and told him to hide her ship . As the First Sith Imperial Strikeforce prepared their space attack and the Jedi agreed to cooperate with Fel , Calixte reached her goal , only to be fired upon by the Imperial Knights . Fel recognized her and ordered his Knights to stop firing . Surrounded by lightsabers , Calixte immediately warned the others that the Sith knew of the meeting and had sent a strike force to capture Fel . Calixte managed to reach the assembly , but her warning came too late : the Sith arrived soon after she did and attacked the Jedi and Imperial Knights . Moff Calixte joined the fight on the side of Emperor Fel and drew a blaster to defend herself from the marauding Sith Lords . The encounter ended in Roan Fel ' s escape , but the Sith managed to capture Princess Marasiah Fel . Calixte later returned to Coruscant , where she witnessed Darth Havok taking Princess Fel from Veed ' s hands and the latter argument between Veed and her ex - husband about how Operation : Thunderstroke had failed . When Yage left , Veed questioned her about her previous whereabouts . She lied , saying she had been in the Undercity of Coruscant looking for information on Krayt ' s supposed death . Veed gave her a new assignment : find the traitor who warned Fel of the trap . Calixte , apparently amused by this assignment , said she ' d give it her highest priority . The spy is exposed . Sometime after being assigned to find the traitor , Morlish almost found out about Calixte ' s double life when he discovered her reminiscing about her past in the middle of the night . He scolded her and told her to return to bed . Calixte was present with Veed in the throne room of the Sith Temple when Darth Krayt , having resurrected , returned to Coruscant to reclaim his throne from Darth Wyyrlok . Krayt and Wyyrlok proceeded to engage in a fierce duel , in which Krayt was victorious . With himself fit again to rule the Empire , Krayt dismissed Veed as Regent , but allowed him to resume his position as Grand Admiral . Krayt then announced his plan to bring war to the galaxy . Spying on Emperor Krayt and Grand Admiral Veed , Calixte learned that the Dark Lord had sensed the presence of Roan Fel ' s spy through the Force and witnessed Veed being ordered to find the spy under threat of death . This prompted Nyna to plan her escape and contact Cade , telling him to meet her at the Wheel in three days . Calixte ' s identity as Fel ' s spy was soon discovered by Veed , thanks to Veed ' s own spy on Bastion : Master Hogrum Chalk . Under the pretense of celebrating he had discovered Konrad Rus was Fel ' s spy , Veed interrupted Calixte in her apartment as she prepared to leave Coruscant . Veed poured some Merenzane Gold unto a pair of glasses and gave one to her . She quickly discovered she had been given poison and attacked Veed . Nyna took a blaster from her bag while Veed took one from his boot . They shot at each other , and Calixte fell over the edge of her apartment ' s landing platform . Afterward , Veed reported Calixte ' s treachery and execution to Moff Yage . Redemption . However , as she was falling to a certain death , Calixte took her jetpack from her bag and escaped without being seen by Veed . She made her way to the " Raider " , which was still in her possession , and cured the blaster wounds she had sustained with bacta patches . However , she had no antidote for the poison . Despite the poison ' s effects , Nyna made her way to the Wheel and to the safe house she had told Cade they would meet . Without being under her Morrigan Corde identity , she was quickly subdued by Syn and Blue , who still remembered how she had tortured and given them to the Sith . However , she was released after she produced the Skywalker family holo she kept and Cade confirmed her identity , sensing the truth through the Force . She offered Cade the names and locations of several Sith for him to eliminate . Even though she told Cade that despite her many lies , her love for him and her father were real , Cade refused to heal her , as the only person he had saved without going to the dark side was Blue , whom he loved , unlike Corde . At that moment , Kol Skywalker appeared as a Force ghost , asking Cade to heal Calixte for him . After a short discussion , Cade relented and tried , though he kept remembering the abandonment the two had suffered because of Nyna . Kol then told his son to forgive his mother and let go of his anger towards her , and then told Corde , despite the fact that the latter couldn ' t hear him , that he had forgiven her and that he loved her . Soon after , Cade succeeded in healing his mother and , tearful , told her he forgave her . Hours later , and back in her Morrigan Corde identity , Nyna joined the " Mynock " crew , and witnessed a short duel between her son and Emperor Krayt ' s Hand , Darth Talon , during which the Sith Lady revealed she had left " a gift " for Cade : a carbonite - frozen Antares Draco . After being unfrozen , the Imperial Knight confessed he had revealed the location of the Hidden Temple to the Sith . Aboard the " Mynock " , Corde travelled to Taivas with her son and his friends , and participated in the defense of the Temple against the Sith Imperial forces . As several Sith - Imperial starfighter s attacked the " Mynock " , Corde scanned their ship - to - ship chatter , and learned that one of the enemy pilots was her daughter , whom she refused to shoot . Later after the battle on Taivas , Corde revealed herself still alive to her daughter and Rulf Yage . She then explained to him the truth about herself and said she didn ' t expect forgivness . Rulf said that the discussion should be saved for another time but was for the moments just happy she was alive . Meanwhile , as the leadership of the Sith Empire believed her dead , her position as Director of Imperial Intelligence was given to Moff Fehlaaur ' aitel ' loro , who reported that Calixte had left the organization in shambles . Morrigan joined the strike team her son led to Coruscant , where she helped destroy the planet ' s defenses . As the allied fleet jumped into the system and a battle broke out , Morrigan located Veed and shot him in the back . Wounded , Veed was surprized to see Morrigan there , and Morrigan finished him off after saying " Nyna Calixte sends her regards . " Cade later found Morrigan after successfully finishing Krayt , and asked to use her ship so he could fly Krayt ' s body into Coruscant ' s sun to ensure that Krayt couldn ' t return this time . Morrigan was devastated , but allowed Cade to take the ship . She also gave her son the holo of their family , asking him to tell Kol that she loved him when they met again . However , Cade chose to eject from the ship after talking to the spirit of his ancestor Luke and deciding to hope that Krayt hadn ' t placed his spirit in him , which turned out to be correct . Morrigan later told Syn and Blue to find Cade since the holo she gave him also had a tracker in it . They followed the signal and managed to find Cade , who was now free to live his life now that his destiny had been fulfilled . Personality and traits . Nyna Calixte exhibited astute political acumen , and was seen by many as manipulative . Calixte was cold and calculating , with a ruthlessness that was matched only by her ambition . She was the one who manipulated the Moff Council into allying with the Sith , and was seen as the person behind Morlish Veed ' s political ambitions to become Emperor . However , knowing that Darth Krayt was going to assume the throne , she was also the person who warned Emperor Roan Fel about the coup in 130 ABY , thus betraying the Sith . She also displayed a lack of trust towards both the Sith , especially Darth Maladi , and her own lover , Morlish Veed . Calixte ' s former brother - in - law , Nat Skywalker , noted that she was extremely secretive about herself . Her fierce , calculating intelligence made her one of the most dangerous people in the galaxy and a match even for the Sith . She was the one who realized that Darth Krayt was going to seize power for himself and she therefore warned Emperor Fel about the upcoming coup against him . This makes her the true instigator of the conflict that followed in which she also played a great role . She spent the next seven years trying to overthrow the Sith and even tried to save Emperor Fel when she learnt he was in danger . Calixte / Corde refused to let anyone get close to her emotionally , and that extended to her relationship with her children . She had little to no part in her daughter Gunn ' s upbringing , with Gunn ' s father , Rulf , being her primary caregiver . For her part , Gunn despised her mother , even going so far as to call her a " nasty old rancor . " Her relationship with her son Cade was practically non - existent , having left him and his father , Kol , when Cade was around two years old . However , when she found out that Cade had survived the Massacre at Ossus and was being sought after by the Sith , she reactivated her Morrigan Corde persona for the sole purpose of rescuing him . Because the sight of him would threaten to overtake her emotions , she refused to be near him both times she had located him . Cade , for his part , assumed his mother was long dead , and was shocked to discover otherwise . As for her relationship with Kol Skywalker , she has proven to have fallen in love with him , reasoning that , despite her personality , he still loved her . Whether she truly loved Rulf Yage is unknown , but she did tell him the truth about herself and said she didn ' t expect his forgiveness for what she had done . By her own admission , Corde had some success in shielding her thoughts from Force users . In her guise as Corde , she exhibited knowledge of hand - to - hand combat when she helped Jor Torlin defeat the thugs on the Wheel . Working as an intelligence agent , Calixte was multilingual , capable of understanding Bocce , Huttese , High Galactic , Gran , and Twi ' leki , in addition to Basic . Equipment . As Morrigan Corde , she had two distinguishing pieces of equipment ; the first being her communication devices , and the second being her choker containing the holo of her family . Her comm devices were small , flat , circular white patches located on her face , and there were two of them : one under her left eye , and the other on her chin . The patch on her left cheek had a line attached to her left ear , and the one on her chin had a line attached to her bottom lip . Morrigan wore the choker around her neck , and she often displayed the contents when she was alone . However , she did show the holo to Cade ' s associates when they doubted her claim as to being Cade ' s mother . Although the holo was dismissed as fake by Jariah Syn , Chak confirmed the holo was real , having worked around the Jedi Temple on Ossus around the time period the holo was taken . She also kept a blaster and a jetpack concealed within one of her bags . Thanks to this , she survived an assassination attempt by her former lover , Morlish Veed . On difficult missions , such as when she broke into the Sith Temple on Coruscant to rescue Cade Skywalker , Morrigan carried a heavy assault blaster rifle Behind the scenes .
