Nightsisters

The Nightsisters, also known as the Witches of Dathomir or Daughters of Dathomir, were a clan of magick-wielding Dathomiri women who hailed from the Outer Rim world of Dathomir, a planet bathed in dark energies. The Nightsisters gained an infamous reputation across the galaxy through their usage of arcane magicks, powered by the dark side of the Force, by tapping into the magical ichor that flowed from the depths of the planet. According to legend and ancient lore, magick was taught to them by a mysterious entity known only as "the Witch-Queen."
Reclusive and self-serving, the Nightsisters generally excluded themselves from the affairs of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order, though under the leadership of Mother Talzin in the final decades of the Republic they became increasingly involved with the Sith, especially the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Though Talzin sought to become his Sith apprentice, her ambitions were foiled when Sidious abducted her infant son Maul to train instead.
During the Clone Wars, Sidious' succeeding apprentice Count Dooku likewise received an apprentice and assassin in Maul's younger brother, Savage Opress, though the revelation of Opress' eventual betrayal arising from a conspiracy against him by his former assassin Asajj Ventress, a Nightsister herself, immediately soured relations. Consequently the Nightsisters were decimated in a Separatist attack on the planet in 20 BBY, leaving few survivors, most notably Ventress, a young Merrin, and the lone human member Morgan Elsbeth.
