Asajj Ventress has sought sanctuary with the Nightsisters of Dathomir. She meets with Mother Talzin, who tells Ventress to abandon Dooku and the Sith, and become a true nightsister. A baptismal ceremony changes Ventress' eye color, and a celebration signals her rebirth as a Nightsister. Meanwhile, Dooku learns that Ventress has returned, so he orders Grievous to attack Dathomir and wipe out the Nightsisters.
The Separatist fleet arrives, and the battle rages! Ventress leads a counterattack which has some success, until Grievous sends out defoliator tanks to dig through the ditches and burn through the witches. Mother Talzin goes to Old Daka, and asks her to call the army of the dead; apparently she is the last heir of Isildur, so it works. It's zombies vs. robots! Mother Talzin reveals she has a lock of Dooku's hair; she uses it to create a poppet of him and torment via the power of sympathetic magic. Grievous and Ventress stage a lightsaber duel for the fate of the planet, but when Ventress is about to win, Grievous cheats and has his troops intervene. But before they can kill Ventress, Dooku orders them after Mother Talzin to stop the psychic attack on him.
Grievous discovers Talzin and Daka. He kills Old Daka, ending the threat of the zombie army, and forces Talzin to turn to mist and flee. The separatist army quickly deals with the remaining nightsisters without their undead reinforcements. Mother Talzin appears in spectral form to Ventress, telling her she has her own path to follow now, then vanishes.
With the Nightsister clan wiped out, Assajj is wandering the outer rim looking for her own purpose. She ends up on a desert planet and heads to the bar because she has 4d in genre savvy.
She is noticed by Bossk who is a good bounty hunter, but who’s real talents lie in team building. A short interview ensues and we head to the hideout where Dengar is annoying and Bossk tells him to shut up. We meet the rest of the crew in Boba Fett and his baroque assassin droid Hi-C? Oh Yeah!
The job’s a pretty standard escort mission. Our antagonists are super cool looking underworld dwellers and I had to check to make sure that this episode wasn’t titled ‘the Crystal Shard.’ The under-ninjas have really taken realultimatepower.net to heart and are flipping out all over the place. The bounty hunters are good, but there are too many ninjas. Space Drizzt enters the fight with two awesome electro katanas and proceeds to beat up Boba, solving one of the great nerd debates of all time.
We find out that the cargo was Drizzt’s sister; Pulma. After the legally distinct and totally unique space Drow are captured, Pulma says that Assajj will never know what it’s like to be ripped from the only life she’s ever known. Even Boba Fett is powerless before a nat 20 persuasion role. Ventress decides to take charge of the operation, which Boba does not care for. He fucks around and finds out. Assajj delivers the box and the gross pasha of this planet makes it clear that Pulma is his bride and I do not like this. Ventress collects the bounty, and shock!!! Boba was in the box. Unfortunately for him all humanoids look the same to Belugians and Boba spends a few very unpleasant days before the mix up is discovered.
Assajj frees Pulma and Krismo and takes her cut of the bounty. She delivers the remaining shares of the bounty to the rest of the hunters. Assajj has grown and she has her own life to live and is she the best character in Star Wars?
