Denkra Kymeri, who later assumed the name of Voidsister Warrior, was a Dathomirian Witch during the Galactic Civil War.
Biography
Sometime following the Battle of Yavin in 0 ABY, she was a member of the Howling Crag Clan, which was headed by the clan mother Amaya Kymeri. During the outbreak of the blackwing virus, Denkra Kymeri became infected along with many members of the clan, and in an attempt to contain the outbreak, the Galactic Empire killed most of the clan. However, Kymeri, along with two of her sisters, Naija Kymeri and Thestriel Kymeri, formed the Sisters of the Void, used spells to fight off the contagion, and took on new names, Denkra's being "Voidsister Warrior". Gradually, they began to lose the battle, and eventually, the Force ghost of Amaya Kymeri sent a spacer to kill the three sisters.[1]

Star Wars Galaxies (post-NGE) — Game Update 19: The Witches of
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.
