Asajj Ventress (Powerstaark)

Asajj Ventress was a Female Rattataki and the second most dangerous of Count Dooku's Dark Acolytes, under Sora Bulq. Ventress was trained by a Jedi named Ky Narec byt after Ky was killed by Rattataki warlords she slew the warlords and in the process turned to the dark side of the Force. Ventress was a Separatist Commander and an infamous Jedi killer

Early life
Asajj Ventress hailed from the barbaric planet of Rattatak. Her parents were local warlords who had been assembling a large army on Rattatak's southern hemisphere to challenge another warlord, Osika Kirske, when Ventress was a child. They were defeated and killed by a coalition of other warlords under Kirske. Ventress, alone on a harsh, unforgiving world, would have died had it not been for the timely arrival of a Jedi Knight named Ky Narec. Narec had become stranded upon Rattatak, and sensed Ventress's strong connection to the Force. Although Narec was cut off from the rest of the Jedi Order, he decided to train Ventress as his Padawan.

The two Jedi quickly became favored by the people, except for those who feared the power the two Jedi wielded. Tragically, Narec was killed by Osika Kirske before Ventress could learn mastery over her emotions. Ventress soon became a force of authority on her lawless home world, defeating most of the remaining twelve Rattataki warlords and getting her revenge on Kirske. This is where her turn to the dark side of the Force began.

When Narec died, she had tattooed her hairless head and left her girlhood behind. Her skull was striped with twelve marks, one for each of the twelve warlords she had killed after swearing their deaths. Ventress, now in control of the land once held by the warlords who had murdered her Master, had a castle built on Rattatak, from where she controlled her new kingdom. Ventress kept Narec's lightsaber as a memento of the good times with her mentor, and developed a hatred of the Jedi, who she believed had abandoned Narec. Her bitterness and lust for revenge sent Ventress spiraling down the path of the dark side.

Initiation on Rattatak
Ventress was still in command on Rattatak when the Clone Wars began with the Battle of Geonosis. After Echuu Shen-Jon, the former Padawan of Mace Windu, killed Sev'rance Tann on Krant, Count Dooku, aka Darth Tyranus, went in search of a new acolyte to serve as a commander in the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He traveled to Rattatak, where he was met by a waiting humanoid co-conspirator. As he sat beside the Count in a nearby observation chamber, this robed individual was silently and swiftly dispatched by a dark, cloaked figure who then took his seat. Dooku noted the presence of the killer, but initially voiced doubt about her combat abilities—until Ventress threw herself into a gladiatorial pit fight in the Cauldron and easily annihilated such foes as Blorga, Granda Dolma, Nilo, L8-L9, Flalios, Jasper McKnives, Krutch, Anchor Blue, Swyy'm-Ee, and finally Giant Flog mainly through telekinesis but also with her lightsabers.

Dooku applauded Ventress's talents, but she then went too far by declaring herself a Sith, and claimed that Dooku knew nothing of the dark side. Dooku decided to "enlighten" her. After rendering her unconscious with a blast of Force lightning and later defeating her in a duel, Dooku presented her to Darth Sidious, who approved his choice, and ordered her to kill a certain Jedi—Anakin Skywalker. After her departure, Sidious told Tyranus that it was irrelevant whether or not Ventress succeeded saying that she was merely an instrument. Little did Tyranus know that he too was merely an instrument.

Before sending her on her way, Dooku gifted Ventress with the twin red blades of his former Padawan, Komari Vosa. The twin blades could be wielded separately or joined together to form a saberstaff, one more difficult to handle than the traditional design, given the curved nature of the handles. Dooku, having taken the blades from Vosa after her fatal fight with the late bounty hunter Jango Fett, now intended that Ventress should use them—much as Komari Vosa had—to be a bane to the forces of the light.

Duel on Yavin 4
Ventress traveled to Muunilinst, which was currently under siege, to carry out her command; kill Anakin Skywalker. Flying her Fanblade starfighter, Ventress attacked Skywalker over Muunilinst and then lured him to the jungle moon of Yavin 4. Ventress displayed great talent at flying a space craft and was able to have a dogfight with Skywalker, who was considered one of the finest pilots in the Galaxy, without getting shot down.

On Yavin 4, she killed the clone squad sent by Obi-Wan Kenobi to assist Anakin, then battled the young Jedi through the moon's jungle. She once again displayed her skill with telekinesis hurling logs and stones at Anakin and her lightsaber skills were the equal of Skywalkers and neither was able to gain advantage over the other. Anakin chased Ventress through the jungle and finally they arrived at one of the ancient Sith Massassi Temples eventually fighting their way up to the peak.

The duel finally ended when Ventress slashed Anakin across his right eye and while the Padawan was momentarily imobilised from pain she disarmed him. She tried to finish him off but the Jedi grabbed both her wrists and gave in to his rage both from the pain in his eye and the frustration of fighting such a formidable opponent. He squeezed Ventress's left wrist with his metal hand and grabbed one of her lightsabers. Skywalker then pounded away on Ventress' defenses and knocked her off pinnacle of the Temple Skywalker escaped in his fighter, leaving Ventress wounded but alive on the planet.

Ventress found her way back to where she'd left her own fighter and flew away to rejoin Count Dooku.

Mission to
Roughly two months later Ventress, along with fellow Dark Acolyte Sora Bulq went to Ruul to arrange a trap for Jedi Master Mace Windu. Ventress engaged Bulq in a mock duel and during the fight she killed Bulq's former Padawan Mira. When Mace, K'Kruhk, Rhad Tarn and Sian Jeisel arrived Ventress pretended she was Windu's ally and retreated.

Ventress returned later and duelled Tarn, taunting him and driving him into a rage. Then she offered him a chance to join her noting that he had potential and he accepted.

Jeisel and K'Kruhk arrived shortly afterwards and pleaded with Tarn not to join Ventress but Tarn attacked Jeisel while Ventress dealt with K'Krunk. K'Kruhk held his own against Ventress long enough for Jeisel to slay Tarn but Ventress was more than a match for them even when they attacked her at the same time.

Meanwhile Master Windu had uncovered Bulq's treachery and defeated the Dark Acolyte in a duel. He then arrived to help K'Kruhk and Jeisel both of whom had been wounded. Mace attacked Ventress who clipped her lightsabers together trying to overpower the Jedi Master with her saberstaff but realised that she was no match for his skill so se decided to retreat.
