Shenda Mol

"If you can target any individual from a tremendous distance, why do you resort to bombs or viruses? Why do you kill thousands when you could kill only one?"
"I have a little game I play. I need more kills to win—though, of course, I'm only competing with myself. That's the only competition that really matters, you know. More people ought to understand that."

―Qui-Gon Jinn and Shenda Mol^[1]

Shenda Mol was a notorious Falleen bounty hunter and assassin. She collected her bounties by sabotaging passenger ships, detonating explosives in public areas, or even by releasing a virus on one occasion. As such she was responsible for tens of thousands of deaths across fifty different planets. Mol played a "game" with herself that involved a challenge to kill a target of every age of up to 200 years old. The oldest being she had killed so far was a 162 year old Whiphid, while the youngest was only four days old. As a Falleen, she had ultra-fast reptilian reflexes, and her reputation as a sharpshooter, even among the Falleen, was unparalleled.^[1]

Eventually in around 66 BBY,^[2], a strike team, including Jedi Master Dooku and his Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn, was assembled and sent to find Mol, and they tracked her to Numidian Prime where she had a stronghold and a handful of followers. After her followers were rounded up, it was left to Jinn and Dooku to bring Mol in. Whilst searching for her hideout, the two were separated. Jinn managed to find Mol inside a group of large, stony hills, but was held by her at blaster-point, who intended to kill the fourteen year old to close up a gap in her competition. But right before Mol could shoot him, Jinn was saved by Dooku who struck her with Force lightning and Force choked her. Afterwards she was put "on ice" at Stygeon Prime.^[1]
