Rita Bandora (Jedi Renaissance)

Darth Repulsa was a female Human Sith Lady and a sorceress of great renown throughout the New Sith Empire. Formerly known as Rita Bandora, she served as a Jedi Master of the Council of Ten Masters on and was the headmistress of the academy over, located on the systems' Rogue Moon. During the rise of the New Sith Empire, Bandora sequestered herself within her academy where she and her husband, Jedi Master Impori Zedd were corrupted by the dark side and declared themselves as Sith Lords of the Gorma tribe. Mastering the ability to prolong their own lives, Repulsa used her talents in alchemy and sorcery to transform the Rogue Moon's unique clay-like soil into living flesh. With this technique, Repulsa's minions would model a warrior from the clay and then preform arcane spells to make it grow to standard height and live as animated flesh. To complete this process, Repulsa tore a rift in the Force wherein she created a Spirit Realm; a holding place where her cursed servants and soldiers were sent after death instead of becoming one with the Force. Once there they could be called at will to retake their bodies after a new one was crafted from the Rogue Moon clay.

With this ability, Repulsa effectively wielded an unlimited number of soldiers who could never be defeated. Each time a warrior died in conflict, they could be rebuilt stronger and more deadlier then before. Combining her army of loyal fallen Jedi Knights, Bandora's army conquered many systems and successfully drove the Republic out of the Western Reaches of the Outer Rim Territories. When her husband, Zedd, tasked her with conquering Ansion and defeating their former Jedi ally, Elriza Zordon and annihilating his Jedi Rangers who were resilient and refused to back down when confronted by one of the Gorma tribe's monstrosities. Infiltrating the Jedi Command Center on Ansion under the pretense of seeking a peace agreement with Zordon, Repulsa used the dark side to tear a rift in time-space and toss Zordon through it, rendering him lost to the galaxy. Before Repulsa could flee, the Rangers captured her within their own domain and imprisoned her within a space dumpster. Shrinking her body down within the confines of the disposal bin, the rangers lured her chief generals and alchemists into a trap and sealed them inside as well. Launching the innocuous prison into the void of space, Repulsa and her minions remained safely imprisoned within the canister without need of nourishment or recreation, doomed to spend all eternity confined within the small space.

It wasn't until 13 BrS that the space dumpster crashed into the surface of in the Dathomir system. Located by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, the Human Sith sent unwitting minions to free the ancient evil. Upon their release, Repusla and her allies destroyed their liberators and their prison and hijacked their ship to return to the abandoned palace over Taris. Rebuilding her armies, Repulsa was quick to join Darth Spector's new United Alliance of Sith and begin waging war on the fringes of the galaxy. While her armies were strong, they were unable to avoid the purifying wave of Force energy released by the destruction of Zordon's plasma tube. As the wave tore across the battlefield, Repulsa's armies were reduced to their clay-state, standing like statues across countless worlds. Repulsa herself had never been killed and brought back and instead was purified into her once beautiful state as Jedi Master Bandora. Standing in the light of the Force once more, Bandora's body vanished in a flash as she became one with the Force.

Early life
Rita Repulsa was a female humanoid was born to the galactic warlord and warlock Master Vile, a feared conqueror of worlds, and an unknown mother. Along with her brother, Rito Revolto, Rita was raised to embrace the practices of evil and dabbled into the art of dark magic. Crafting for herself a scepter through which to channel her evil, Rita joined the armies of the infamous Lord Zedd and proceeded to aid him in galactic conquest. Gaining renown for the destruction she wrought upon Regda 2, Sorcery 7, and Tarmac 3, Rita amassed a large army of monsters and Putty Patrollers to serve her. During her reign of terror, she led a group of minions to conquer Earth, a planet populated by humans.

Establishing a palace on the planet's moon, Rita launched attacks against the world but her invasion was halted by the powerful sage called Zordon. A mighty wizard from Eltar, Zordon and Rita's servants and warriors had many confrontations; the pair built up a lasting competition as they won and lost battles. Rita, seemingly admitting her failure, called for negotiations to be made between her camp and the warriors of Earth. Meeting with Zordon, Rita revealed the depths of her treachery and trapped Zordon in a time warp. Before Zordon was gone, the wizard revealed he was prepared with his own fail safe. Conjuring up a space dumpster, Zordon sealed away Rita and her chief aides and servants and cast them into space.

Return to Earth
Rita had been sealed in her dumpster for nearly 10,000 years before it found its way back to the moon. Not long after, a pair of curious astronauts stumbled upon the strange container and broke the seal that kept Rita's evil at bay. Released from her prison, she destroyed the dumpster and quickly set her sights on Earth. Reoccupying her palace which had lay vacant for eons, Rita sent her chief warrior, Goldar, to Earth to lay siege to the world. However, Rita was met by her opponent Zordon, who had managed to reestablish contact with Earth and gather new warriors. Beginning her second invasion of the planet, Rita's monsters were constantly defeated by Zordon's Power Rangers, teenaged humans who wielded the mighty Power Coins.

While Rita largely relied on monsters created by her loyal minion Finster or with the help of other mystic allies such as Madame Woe or Lokar, her master stroke came in creating a sixth Ranger to combat Zordon's warriors. Having long ago come into the possession of a power coin, Rita selected one of the Rangers' own classmates, Tommy Oliver, to become her Green Ranger. While this proved effective for a time, Rita's plan was ultimately foiled when the Rangers broke her spell and brought Tommy back to the side of good. Finding herself defeated at every turn, Rita was horrified when a storm of dark energy began to erupt throughout surrounding space.

Enter Zedd
The storm, a manifestation of Lord Zedd's power, ended when the master of evil took up residence in the Palace's Chamber of Command. Disgusted with Rita's performance and her inability to conquer the Earth after several millennia, Zedd had returned to destroy Zordon once and for all. Sealing her away once more in a space dumpster, Rita was cast back out into the void only to return less then a year later to find Zedd having just as much trouble as she had. Secretly entering the palace, she was able to reach her loyal henchman Finster who restored her to normal size and crafted a love potion that would make Zedd fall for her. After applying Finster's youth serum, the revitalized sorceress would wed the Lord of Evil. Joining forces, the pair continued to bombard the Rangers together, though continuing to fall short.

Evil Union
Following Rita's marriage to Zedd, her brother Rito Revolto arrived at the moon palace to add his sword to their fight against the Rangers. Not long after Rito's arrival on the moon, Rita and Rito's father, Master Vile, came to criticize his daughter's choice in men. Attempting to upstage Zedd in conquering the Earth, Vile reversed time on the planet and turned the Power Rangers back into children. While they attempted to set things right, Rita and Zedd plotted their boldest move yet: they would destroy the Command Center and steal the powerful Zeo Crystal for themselves. The plan, like all the others, was a failure. Goldar and Rito's implosion device did go off, but the Rangers, Zordon and Alpha 5 escaped to a fortified Power Chamber underneath the wreckage. The Zeo Crystal, meanwhile, turned up in the rubble, as Goldar and Rito somehow lost it during their getaway.

Rise of the Machine Empire
Despite the setbacks, Rita and Zedd celebrated their most significant victory yet over Zordon's forces. Their good feelings, however, did not last. The Machine Empire, longtime rivals of both Rita and Zedd, staged a coup and forced Rita and Zedd to flee the moon. The couple eventually returned and exacted revenge. With the help of a bomb disguised as a gift, the ruling family of the Machine Empire was temporarily destroyed, and Rita and Zedd once again ruled the moon for themselves.

The couple opted not to resume their struggle with the Power Rangers, and advised Divatox to do the same. When the space pirate called Rita for advice on defeating the Rangers, Rita could only laugh and warn Divatox to run away.

Final Defeat
Rita and Zedd joined their comrades/rivals in the United Alliance of Evil under Dark Specter to mount a final assault on the forces of good throughout the galaxy. The couple attacked a planet in the Vica Galaxy and captured Trey, the Gold Ranger. Before victory could be achieved, Zordon notched his final, lasting victory over Rita and Zedd when he sacrificed his life in order to let his good energy wash over the universe and purify it of evil. Rita and Zedd were stripped of their malevolent features and became human.

 * -A quiet Koorivar, Bok'Bak was the Chief Librarian of the Rogue Moon Academy for over a decade when Master Bandora abandoned the Jedi and took the name Darth Repulsa. Pledging himself to her following her promise to grant him everlasting life, Bok'Bak was fearful of active combat and was deemed a coward by many of the resurrected soldiers that began to fill Repusla's palace. Years into her reign one of Repulsa's servants, nicknamed the Knasty Knight, stabbed the librarian in the heart and sent his soul to the Dark Dimension. As a favor, Finster recreated Bok'Bak in a body that was bulkier and more well muscled, giving him armor and covering his skin with spikes to protect him from harm. Sending him through his machine, the clay overheated and the figurine's neck melted and when Bok'Bak was recreated, he suffered from a disfiguring hunchback. Hunched and bulky, the occupants of the palace nicknamed him Squatt and taunted him for his cowardice despite his armor. Unwilling to die again and be remade, Squatt remained in the palace where he lost his wits and became known for his bumbling speech and antics. Captured and imprisoned with Repulsa in the space dumpster, Squatt was eventually released and served his master continuously throughout the Silent War until his ultimate death with the passage of the Force wave over the battlefield.

 * colspan="8" align="left"|One of Rita Bandora's most loyal confidants, Riles Finster was a reserved Jedi Master and an expert in the molding of Dora clay into living flesh. Crafting the clay into small figurines in the likeness of his next creation, Finster invented the machine which was able to mass produce his creations and reconstitute Bandora's armies. Once his friend fell to the dark side, Finster abandoned the Jedi Order as he saw it as weak and lost to its own delusions. Not falling completely, Finster contented himself with reviving his fallen creations and sending them out better equipped to serve Repulsa's bidding. Never fond of Lord Zedd or his servants, Finster was frustrated that Zedd refused to make use of his monster-creating abilities and favored reviving his servants through the use of inanimate objects. Imprisoned alongside Repulsa following the raid on the Palace by the Jedi Rangers, Finster continued to serve her upon their release until his purification at the end of the war. When the Force wave reduced his body to dust, his spirit went to the Spirit Realm for the first time.

 * colspan="8" align="left"|Coming to the Rogue Moon Academy after growing frustrated with Coruscani politics, Zarkot was impressed with Bandora's strong hold on the Taris system and vowed to protect its borders from intrusion by the Sith enemy. When Bandora fell to the dark side, her promise to name Zarkot as Guardian of her new Spirit Realm appealed to his desire to protect lost souls. Able to access the spirit realm himself without physically dying, Zarkot could entrap other living beings within the Spirit Realm and sap their energies to empower his connection to the dimension of cursed souls. Following his first death at the hands of Jedi Rangers on Mustafar, Zarkot was recreated with the use of the dora clay and Master Finster's alchemical skills. More skeletal then his original form, he could detach his head and use it to ensnare people within the Spirit Realm. This left his body vulnerable to attacks, falling to pieces should it be hit with the Force. When Lady Repulsa was first imprisoned during the war, Zarkot was hunted down and defeated by Jedi Rangers after he fled the Rogue Moon Palace. Recreated following Repulsa's release, the Knight of Bones fought against the Jedi on Vica where he was purified by the Force wave and reduced to dust.

 * colspan="8" align="left"|A towering Mandallian Jedi brute, Nimm Cah served as one of the Academy Security officers assigned to protect the academy on the Rogue moon from intruders. Selected for his immense size, Cah was deeply in tune with the Force but was twisted by Repulsa's dark side magic to become a slow-witted minion whom she used to do battle with Zordon's zord machines. Frequently brought back from the Shadow Realm, the Giant was a fierce fighter and impervious to pain. Sent into battle at an enhanced size, Cah fought on Vica when the Force wave permanently destroyed Repulsa's forces.

Wielding a spiked, cortosis shield and a spiked club, Telsh was once a brute alongside Nimm Cah but was elevated in rank to guard Repulsa when she took the field. As part of her honor guard, Telsh was responsible for the defense of his Lady's ship and her physical form, serving alongside Nils Ando, the Sworn Sword. Both were reduced to dust following the wave of Force energy released from Zordon's death.

Once a Jedi Knight, Ando hated the Jedi code and raped and pillaged while on missions for the High Council, defecting to Repulsa's cause after she declared war on the Jedi. Violent even among his fellow fallen Jedi, Ando enjoyed killing and was regarded as one of the Order's most desired prisoners. Setting up of fiefdom on Taarmac III, Ando enslaved its people, killed its warriors and made the world a center of pleasure dens and brothels. Turned to stone following Zordon's energy wave washed across the battlefield, his physical form was reduced to dust after being struck through by the lightsaber of a surviving Jedi Shadow.
