[edit] Biography
One of the few Jedi younglings to survive the Great Jedi Purge, Roganda and her older brother Lagan were hidden in Plett's Well on Belsavis along with numerous other Children of the Jedi, but shortly thereafter forced to flee the planet with Master Plett. The siblings were captured by Inquisitor Ameesa Darys, who slew Lagan with her lightsaber and corrupted Roganda to the dark side.
Roganda became an Emperor's Hand, serving as one of Palpatine's special operatives deployed throughout the galaxy. Roganda eventually bore a son to Sarcev Quest, a fellow Emperor's Hand, but claimed the boy's father was Palpatine. She named her son Irek Ismaren. After hiding for seven years on Belsavis, Roganda kidnapped Leia Organa Solo and attempted to make her son the new Emperor with support from the wealthy lords of the Senex and Juvex Sectors.
Roganda directed Irek in taking control of the Eye of Palpatine, but did not foresee the ship being sabotaged by Leia Organa Solo's twin brother, Luke Skywalker. Roganda and Irek fled Belsavis to the Atravis Sector,[1] and from thence to Coruscant, where Roganda had Irek transformed into Lord Nyax.
Lord Nyax, mentally unstable, killed his own mother, chopping her into eight pieces. Her body was later discovered by Luke Skywalker and his infiltration team in 27 ABY.
