A female Keshiri Sith, hailing from the planet of Kesh, was a member affiliated with the Lost Tribe of Sith. Selected for the Sith strike team, her mission involved locating Ship, a Sith Meditation Sphere, and assassinating Luke Skywalker around 43 ABY. Once the strike team had retrieved Ship from a planet within the Maw, the Meditation Sphere transported them to Sinkhole Station. There, the group of Sith laid in wait for Skywalker and his son, Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker. After gaining entry to the station's control center, the Keshiri female engaged Luke in combat. However, Ben swiftly severed her hand using his lightsaber. In a retaliatory attempt, she lunged at Ben with her own lightsaber, but Ben employed the Force to draw her directly onto his lightsaber blade, resulting in her death.
Born on the Wild Space world of Kesh, this Force-sensitive female Keshiri Sith underwent training in the dark side of the Force under the tutelage of the Lost Tribe of Sith. These Sith were the descendants of a group who had crash-landed on Kesh during the era of the Sith Empire. Around 41 ABY, Ship, a Sith Meditation Sphere, arrived on Kesh and began assisting them in building a new armada. In 43 ABY, following the Tribe members sensing Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker's presence in the Force upon his interaction with an Aing-Tii relic, known as the Codex, Ship suddenly departed Kesh, drawn by a call through the Force. Grand Lord Darish Vol and Lady Olaris Rhea then selected the Keshiri female to join Rhea's strike team, tasked with recovering Ship and eliminating Skywalker.
Serving under Rhea aboard the captured warship Eternal Crusader, the Keshiri Sith participated as the strike team tracked Ship to a planet within the Maw. There, they encountered Abeloth, a powerful Force being who controlled the world's lethal plant life. Despite this, several strike team members perished before Ship returned to them, though the female Sith was among the surviving fifteen or so. Meanwhile, Abeloth had located Skywalker and his son, Jedi Knight Ben Skywalker, at Sinkhole Station, a space station in the Maw. Ship then transported the Keshiri female and the remaining Sith to Sinkhole Station, where they staged an ambush against the Skywalkers. The Keshiri Sith formed part of the initial assault group that breached the station's control room, where the Skywalkers had just returned from experiencing beyond shadows—a state achieved by Force-sensitives after separating their minds from their physical bodies.
As the team forced their way into the control room, the Keshiri Sith hurled her parang at Luke. Warned by his son, Luke managed to evade the projectile. Attempting to use the Force to retrieve the weapon, she also sensed Ben's impending attack and tried to counter him while simultaneously catching the parang. This complex maneuver failed, and Ben swiftly removed her hand with his lightsaber. She retaliated by slashing her own lightsaber at Ben's neck, but he used the Force to impale her body on his blade, resulting in her death.
Being Force-sensitive, the Keshiri trained in the ways of the Sith with the Lost Tribe on Kesh. She wielded both a lightsaber and a parang in combat. Moreover, she initiated the attack on Skywalker during the battle, but the Jedi's son quickly overwhelmed her, severing her hand and ultimately killing her.
The Keshiri Sith made her debut in Fate of the Jedi: Abyss, a 2009 novel penned by Troy Denning, serving as the third installment in the Fate of the Jedi series.
