Nightsisters

The Nightsisters are a group that features in Star Wars.

History

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.

Overview

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.
