- "The Army of the Dead. Our reinforcements."
- ―Asajj Ventress
The Army of the Dead was a force of Nightsister Zombies on Dathomir who answered the call of the Nightsisters to fight against the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Separatist invasion of the planet, the Nightsisters' homeworld.
History
The army was summoned by Daka during the Battle of Dathomir to combat Grievous and his forces from wiping out the Nightsisters. The tide was turning in the favor of the Nightsisters until Grievous stormed the hidden cave and murdered Daka, causing the undead army to die and the remaining witches being outnumbered. The Nightsisters were massacred, and the village was left in ruins.[1]
