Background Story
Darth Maladi was taken by the founder and leader of a hidden Sith sect called the One Sith. Darth Krayt had murdered her Jedi father at a very young age, taking the child to rear her in the way of the Sith noting her deep connection with the Force. Maladi specialized in the ways of inquisition, torture, and mental manipulation, all skills which she implemented in her service as the head of Sith Intelligence and Assassination (SIA). She was also a talented scientist who experimented with ways to pervert science to serve the Sith cause. Maladi manufactured and dealt the narcotic ixetal cilona, and was also the mastermind behind a key One Sith project to terraform the now-barren and uninhabitable world of Korriban that was led by Darth Krayt.
After Darth Nihl’s assecion to the throne of the One Sith Empire by killing his master, Darth Krayt, Maladi alligned herself with Nihl’s ideas and grand vision for the One Sith to finally come out of hiding and take control of the galaxy. She had become Nihl’s first apprentice, and through time developed a closeness with him. This put an effective wedge between herself and Darth Talon, who had been fiercely loyal to Darth Krayt and held a seething hate inside for Nihl having killed him. Maladi watches Talon like a hawk because she knows the first chance she gets, she’ll kill Nihl and take the throne. Unlike other apprentices, Maladi looks to serve and not lead. A rarity for a Sith. Nihl, in turn, favors Maladi for just about everything, putting Talon in charge of the most dangerous missions so to keep his beloved apprentice from any real harm. This is something that Maladi does not appreciate for she is a formidable assassin and a master manipulator. Talon senses there is more to their relationship than they let on, which is a distraction — at least to Talon.
We’ll see how this power struggle pans out in Star Wars: The Chosen One (Episode X).

EXT. WOBANI, HERETIC, COCKPIT – CONTINUOUS
TALON spots the Falcon in the air. TALON points it out.
DARTH TALON
Do you see what I see?
DARTH MALADI
I see it.
NIHL leans forward in his seat.
DARTH NIHL
Destroy it.
ELLIAN looks over to NIHL with an incredulous look. TALON hails the Flight Commander GALLIO CAPITO (human male, late twenties) onboard the Dauntless.
DARTH NIHL
All TIEs on that Corellian YT.
GALLIO CAPITO (V.O.)
Aye, sir. Engaging!
The TIE Predators move in front of the Lambda-class shuttle and start to engage the Falcon. POE twists and dodges the incoming cannon fire from the TIE Predators. He keeps KAYDEL KO CONNIX on open comms.
KAYDEL KO CONNIX
On your six, sir.
POE DAMERON
Yeah, I can dodge ’em. Finn, turret!
FINN
On it!
FINN moves quickly into the turret tower in the middle of the Falcon. He gets to work, keeping comms open. POE flies expertly, dodging and weaving away from the TIE Predators and the Heretic, keeping his eyes on the prize: getting to the Ackbar. X-Wings come up his rear, having cleared the path of TIE Fighters. This only infuriates NIHL even more.
DARTH NIHL
(grunts angrily)
Deploy another squadron.
DARTH MALADI
We’re getting too close to the Cruiser, they’ll lock onto us.
DARTH NIHL
Deploy another squadron, now!
GALLIO CAPITO (V.O.)
Aye, sir.
DARTH TALON
That’s a mistake.
DARTH NIHL
I don’t remember asking for your opinion.
With that MALADI and TALON shut up. Minutes later an alarm goes off in the cockpit of the Lambda-class craft. They had gotten too close to the Ackbar. NIHL’s rage cannot be contained. ELLIAN is still looking at NIHL, never took her eyes off of him. EMPEROR VITIATE whispers.
EMPEROR VITIATE
Petulant child. We’ll take care of that.
