Uleeta

The specifics of how Uleeta entered into the service of Daiman, the Sith Lord, during the Republic Dark Age remain largely unknown. Nevertheless, it is established that she occupied a significant rank within his administration, despite exhibiting no indications of Force sensitivity. She was known to be a resident of Daiman's palace, Sanctum Celestial, located in Xakrea, the primary city of Darkknell. As a resident of his domain, the Daimanate, she outwardly recognized Daiman as the "Creator of the Universe," refraining from any overt dissent due to his violent disposition. As an "Encumbered," a term used for citizens of the Daimanate, Uleeta was conditioned to perceive herself as merely an instrument of her Master's desires. Her master, Daiman, was a self-absorbed, youthful Human who considered himself the Creator of the Universe and viewed all other beings as soulless automatons created to serve him.

In the year 1032 BBY, she was in her Master's company after the events of the Raid on Nilash III, where Jedi Knight Kerra Holt had successfully freed the native slave laborers. Later that same year, Uleeta was present in Xakrea when the Black Fang, a military research facility, was destroyed by the combined efforts of Jedi Knight Kerra Holt and the Bothan spy Narsk Ka'hane. Narsk was subsequently apprehended by Daiman's Correctors after Kerra defeated him and left him in a waste container before taking his stealth suit. Following Narsk's interrogation, Uleeta attended a holoconference with Ayanos Bactra, the Sith Lord and Quermian leader of the Bactranate. Daiman's official purpose was to procure an arxeum—a mobile university focused on military sciences—from Bactra. During the encounter between Daiman and Bactra, Narsk was displayed on a torture wheel since Daiman had orchestrated his escape to inform Odion about the Gazzari transaction. Narsk noticed Uleeta beside Daiman during the assembly, inferring that she was the Sith Lord's adjutant.

Narsk deduced that Daiman had not employed her for her beauty, judging by her tired appearance. Prior to the meeting, Uleeta observed the Bothan being struck by Force lightning after Daiman sensed that Narsk considered the Sith Lord a narcissist obsessed with his appearance. When Uleeta voiced concerns about the enemy spy's presence during the meeting, Daiman forbade her from removing Narsk, as he intended for the Bothan spy to entice his estranged older brother, the rival Sith warlord Odion, into a trap on Gazzari by leaking details of Daiman's agreement with Bactra. Subsequently, Uleeta attended a second meeting where Daiman engaged the services of several mercenary commanders, including the Human Jarrow Rusher, the Togorian Kr'saang, and the Toong Mak Medagazy. He employed them to establish a trap on Gazzari for Odion's ground troops, informing them that 1,700 students recruited throughout the Daimanate to work at the Bactranate's arxeum would be used as bait during the fighting.

Later, along with Daiman, she journeyed to the planet Gazzari, where he planned to ambush the forces of his brother Odion. Prior to the battle, Uleeta and Daiman were alone inside Daiman's command tent, which was erected at the base of a caldera. Unbeknownst to them, the Jedi Kerra Holt had arrived on Gazzari by stowing away aboard Daiman's flagship, the Era Daimanos, and was secretly listening to their conversation. The meeting evolved into an indoctrination session, where the Sith Lord unsuccessfully attempted to transform the Woostoid aide into a complete extension of his consciousness. Kerra overheard Daiman scolding Uleeta for breathing without his permission.

Throughout the session, Daiman wore a sleeveless black tunic and tightly grasped the Woostoid woman's hair, aiming to both seduce and utterly control his assistant. Uleeta, in turn, wore a silken white dress. Daiman persuaded Uleeta to participate in a second thought exercise campaign where he got her to chant Daimanite propaganda which glorified himself as the Creator of the Universe. Daiman sought to govern her every action, including her speech, vision, and respiration. To become a vessel for the Sith Lord, Uleeta needed to relinquish her defenses and entirely submit her mind to his will. The potent concentration of dark side energy and the physical proximity to her master caused Uleeta to tremble uncontrollably. Near the conclusion of the exercise, Uleeta raised her right hand as Daiman had commanded her through Force persuasion to do so.

However, Uleeta spoke, causing Daiman to lose control of her mind. While Uleeta was obeying his command to raise her hand, the Sith Lord was still unhappy because he wanted his own will to directly activate her motion. Daiman was further infuriated after Uleeta's heart started beating and began breathing without him directing her organs to do so. Uleeta attempted to explain that her body processes were autonomous but Daiman refused to believe that any lifeform could have autonomy. Daiman's tantrum caused the frustrated Uleeta to weep in disgrace. While Uleeta did not suffer any physical injuries during the process, she sustained emotional and psychological damage inflicted through Daiman's Force exercise.

Ultimately, the self-proclaimed Creator was compelled to acknowledge that while he possessed the ability to animate objects and influence sentient beings, he could not directly act through them. Daiman then violently shoved Uleeta off the trunk she was sitting on and rifled through it, seeking a holocron that he believed could give him the answers to allowing him to control all life. Uleeta attempted to allay her Master's anger by telling him about an ancient Sith Lord known as Karness Muur who was able to enthrall entire populations and turn them into extensions of his will. She added that Muur had been developing a method to shift his own consciousness from one organic form to another. Since this information challenged Daiman's credo that all life had been created by him twenty-five years ago, Daiman conceded that he had planted this information in the past in order to allow him to escape from the "prison" of his own body.

After repeating the Sith mantra, Daiman ordered Uleeta to get up since the ambush had begun. He promised to continue the session after the battle. Daiman's treatment of Uleeta made the Jedi woman Kerra more determined to kill the Sith Lord. However, she failed to find a suitable opportunity to kill Daiman during the battle on Gazzari. Instead, she used baradium explosives to destroy Odion's massive siege tower the "Death Spiral" and then escaped Gazzari with the students after convincing the mercenary Rusher to evacuate them on his flagship Diligence. Meanwhile, the Bothan spy Narsk resurfaced during the battle after receiving a coded instruction from his true master Calimondra family matriarch Vilia Calimondra to deliver a transmission to her grandsons Odion and Daiman. Narsk succeeded in delivering Calimondra's message via comlink to the two Sith brothers who quickly ceased fighting.

In the transmission, Calimondra ordered her grandsons to cease fighting and to launch an invasion of the Bactranate. In the end, the two Sith brothers reunited and annihilated Lord Bactra's forces. Uleeta was presumably present during this campaign which saw the collapse of the Bactranate within a few days. During a family bequest Vilia divided the Bactranate's former territories and corporate assets among her grandchildren. Daiman inherited the corporation Industrial Heuristics and its subsidiaries while Odion inherited the former Bactranate capital of Jutrand. However, this brief period of cooperation did little to end the simmering tensions between the two Sith Lords.

During the Aquilaris campaign, Uleeta tried to soothe her Master's rage at the loss of Aquilaris to Grace Command by explaining that he positioned Aquilaris too far away from his capital of Darkknell when he created the universe. She also added that the Deluge spice infiltrating his military forces were the product of mind puzzles only Daiman could solved. A satisfied Daiman concurred, dismissing the Deluge epidemic as one more handicap blocking his path to power. Uleeta carried out his orders to purge the addicts from his pilot corps twice before his estranged relatives received intelligence about Daiman's actions. Daiman hoped that the Jedi and Hutts would wipe out each other but feared any victory by Kerra, his main Jedi opponent.

During the Battle of Darkknell, Darkknell was invaded by the forces of the Hutt crimelord Zodoh who proceeded to create an artificial global flood which devastated large areas of the planet and killed countless sentients. Daiman's forces were unprepared for this attack since he had purged half of his defense force and the remainder were trapped in protracted border engagements with his Sith competitors. At the Sanctum Celestial, Uleeta advised her master to record a new holomessage since the preceeding message calling for calm had been rendered outdated by the impending artificial deluge. When she added that Daiman seemed to have willed the Southern Reservoir to burst its walls, Daiman angrily rebuffed her and lamented his earlier edict to purge his home defense force of spice adicts. Uleeta was subsequently caught in a floodwave which swept into the fortress, causing extensive interior damage. It is currently unknown whether she survived this flood.

Uleeta exhibited a reluctance to voice her own thoughts and opinions, a consequence of Daiman's unpredictable temperament. Like all other residents of the Daimanate, she was compelled to outwardly embrace his narcissistic ideology, which proclaimed Daiman as the Universe's Creator. Despite his assertions of being omnipresent and omnipotent, Uleeta recognized his delusions or at least pretended to believe that he had willed any misfortune as a means of besting them. Often, she would try to explain that any challenges or bad developments were the products of mind puzzles created by her Master which only he himself could solve as Creator of the Universe.

Uleeta's initial appearance was as a minor supporting antagonist in Knight Errant: Aflame 5, the concluding issue of the Aflame story arc. She later reappeared in two issues of the Deluge story arc, fulfilling a subordinate role in her interactions with Sith Lord Daiman. John Jackson Miller fleshed out her backstory, while Ivan Rodriguez provided the artwork and Michael Atiyeh handled the coloring. She holds the distinction of being one of the characters featured in every issue of the Deluge story arc.
