Warlord

Ventress’ apprenticeship wouldn’t last, either. Narec was killed by pirates in a skirmish, and with her training still so nascent, Ventress found herself giving in to the grief and rage that filled her in her master’s death: not just striking down his murderers, but transforming herself into a Rattataki warlord in her own right, ruling by strength and fear.

But even that unguided rage couldn’t stop forces moving against her. Captured after failing to assassinate her final rival, Ventress was forced to fight for her life in gladitorial combat—until a visiting Count Dooku saw her prowess in the arena and heard the tale of her power. Killing the final warlord himself and freeing Ventress, he offered her the chance that Narec had once given her: to learn how to control her power.
