Powers and abilities

During the Imperial era, few were aware of her position as one of the Emperor's Hand. These were elite Force-sensitive agents who served as extensions of their masters will where they acted as assassins, representatives and operatives that enacted his orders.

Notes

• Mara Jade was created by Timothy Zahn where she featured in the Star Wars Legends continuity.
• In an interview, Zahn commented on the characters difference from the likes of Princess Leia, "Mara has a sharper and sarcastic manner, and of course, she had to go through the painful realization her service was to an evil cause. But both women are strong without sacrificing their femininity, a balance which I think some authors have trouble writing. Bear in mind, too, Leia was one of the first people in the New Republic who decided Mara could be trusted, which perhaps says something about their understanding of each other."
