The Nightsisters were a clan of females from the planet Dathomir who were able to use the Force and embraced its Dark Side which they used to craft powerful spells.
Ventress later returned to her people after being betrayed by Count Dooku, seeking their help for revenge against her former master. After the failure of their first attempt, the Nightsisters used the Nightbrother, Savage Opress, as an instrument to destroy Dooku. They used their magic to increase his size, rage, and power. However, their scheme would earn them the ire of Dooku, who would later dispatch General Grievous to Dathomir in retaliation. The witches had also posed a threat to Sidious' planned Galactic Empire and thus were a target he wanted destroyed. Grievous then destroyed their fortress and killed off the majority of the Nightsisters during the battle, marking the end of the Nightsisters as a civilization.
Two spirits of the Nightsisters were summoned by Maul and Ezra Bridger in order to swap information they received when the fused a Sith and Jedi holocron. However, the spirits demanded their flesh and blood as payment. The Nightsister spirits attacked and possessed Bridger’s Master Kanan Jarrus and Sabine Wren. Together they fought Maul and Bridger. Maul abandoned the fight, but Bridger continued fighting. Bridger spoke with the Nightsister that possessed Kanan. The Nightsister told Bridger that Maul promised flesh and blood to rebuild the Nightsister clan. However, Bridger was able to destroy the source of the Nightsisters' powers, the altar, and the spirits disappeared
Overview
Before placing dead Nightsisters in burial pods, Nightsisters went through many steps to prepare a funeral. When using cloth for burial pods, the cloth was washed in magickal water. Then, the cloth was hand-braided together while Nightsisters recited a spell of protection. Finally, the bodies were cleansed with fragrant oils and placed in the newly created burial pod.
For centuries, the Nightsisters made use of a simple society of male Zabrak warriors located on Dathomir with this commune being known as the Nightbrothers. The witches governed them and ruled the planet where they used their finest fighters. Nightbrothers were known to be territorial and extremely hostile to outsiders with them being highly acrobatic, agile and proficient in mixed combat styles allowing them to surprise as well as best foes of equal skill.
Among the magics they could call upon were dark secret ancient incantations that could allow them to raise the dead as zombies. Such a power was known to only the most ancient and knowledgeable of the Nightsister clan who used it to stir the bodies of their deceased from their graveyard. These fallen members of the clan were preserved within cocoons built to resemble the trees of Dathomir where they emerged as mummified warriors. The shrieking zombies mindlessly attacked their enemies allowing them to swarm their foes in droves.
