Hunter (clone)
Hunter was a female clone of an unknown Sith or Jedi Human, created in an Imperial research facility on a frozen moon in the Unknown Regions.
Biography
A Human Sith-Jedi clone, created and bred by the Galactic Empire at a research facility, was part of a cloning program initiated by Grand Admiral Thrawn. Later, the clones, whose group was known as the Community, overthrew and killed the Imperial forces operating the research facility. The clones lived in the facility's lower levels for many years, during which Hunter fell in love with Alpha and conceived two daughters with him, Blessing and Grace.
In 41.5 ABY, they escaped the facility by stealing the Predator, a CloakShape fighter that had been flown to the moon by the Anzat Sith agent Kell Douro. Jaden Korr, who had also come to investigate a Force vision, killed Alpha during the escape.
Hunter and every other member of the Community, except the clone Soldier, suffered from a sickness caused by their clone heritage. While escaping the research facility, they flew through the remnants of the Lignan cargo belonging to the Harbinger, which had been destroyed shortly before. The Lignan heightened the clones' perception of the Force but also accelerated the effects of their sickness.
At some point in the past, she and the other clones began worshipping the entity known as "Mother" under the guidance of another clone, Seer. She believed the illness was a test set for the clones by Mother and ordered Soldier to fly them to a planet called Fhost to obtain medication; she also planned for the clones to travel afterward in search of Mother.
On Fhost, Seer, Soldier, Hunter, and the serving members of the Community who had not succumbed to the illness deserted the starfighter and stole a medical supply ship from the Farpoint Medical Center. While taking the ship, Seer encountered the Jedi Knight Jaden Korr, and the clones captured Khedryn Faal, a spacer associate of Korr.
After escaping Fhost aboard the medical ship, the clones headed toward Mother's location. Unfortunately, the Nyss Nenn, an Umbaran Sith agent who had stowed away aboard the ship, revealed himself and killed both Hunter and Runner.
Behind the scenes
In Riptide, Hunter's template was never explicitly identified, but her hair and eye color, her name "Hunter", and the fact that of the only two other female clones, one was Lumiya's and the other had black hair, strongly suggested Mara Jade Skywalker. However, Khedryn Faal had personally known Mara Jade Skywalker, having been rescued by her and Luke Skywalker from Outbound Flight, and would have recognized her when he found her dead body.
