Description: Second Sister: Jedi Fallen Order
Prefix: DS
Detachment: The Flagship Eclipse Detachment
Context: Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order

Ambitious and cruel, the Second Sister was one of the deadliest members of the Imperial Inquisition. She relished hunting down both Force-sensitives and political dissidents for the Empire. Although she was an expert lightsaber duelist and adept with the dark side of the Force, the Second Sister's greatest weapon was her brilliant ability to deduce and predict the behavior of her prey.
