Amaya Kymeri was the clan mother of the Howling Crag Clan, a clan of Dathomiri Witches that lived on the planet Dathomir during the Galactic Civil War. Many members of her clan became infected from the outbreak of the blackwing virus, and the Empire began trying to kill most of the clan to contain the outbreak. Kymeri died from this attack, though she later appeared to a spacer as a Force ghost to send the spacer to kill the Sisters of the Void (three infected witches that used spells to survive the attack).[1]

Dathomir
- ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
- ↑ In the article Everything You Always Wanted to Know about the Nightsisters but Were Afraid to Ask, published in Star Wars Insider 122, the Holocron continuity database keeper Leland Chee confirmed the early Expanded Universe statement that regular Witches of Dathomir are Human. Lee also established that every individuals of the Dathomirian species are exclusively members of the Nightsisters.
