| “ | Palpatine knows we are hunting him. So now…he is hunting us. This day came sooner than I'd hoped – but it was always inevitable. And because it was inevitable… I planned for it. I have people all across the galaxy. In the Empire, in every syndicate and significant corporation, on every major world, in the Rebel Alliance. They have been bought, persuaded, loved, blackmailed, lied to, told the truth. They are mine, and they are everywhere. I just gave them all the same order. The order is one word. Chaos. Chaos for the Empire, anywhere they can create it. Destruction, disruption, poison down the gullet of Palpatine's machine. And while the Empire staggers, trying to set things right, we will prepare our masterstroke, and all of this will, at last... end. This is my hidden empire. Choke on it. | „ |

What Makes Her Magnificent?[]
- She is a master of the martial art of Teräs Käsi and sword fighting.
- She hunts down and kills her former slave master to prove her loyalty to Dryden.
- When captured by Hondo Ohnaka and IG-88, she convinces them to turn against each other, frees herself as they fight and takes them both captive.
- She poses as a slaver selling Han and Chewbacca to the Pykes to infiltrate the spice mines of Kessel and distracts Quay Tolsite, the Pyke capo ,there while Han steals coaxium, before attacking him using Teräs Käsi and stabbing him with his keys.
- When Han and Dryden fight, she attacks Han to give the impression that she sides with Dryden, before turning on her boss and killing him, twisting his own petar daggers against him.
- She takes control of Crimson Dawn after killing Dryden and convinces Maul that Tobias Beckett is the one responsible.
- Although she leaves Han to continue working for Crimson Dawn, it is clear she is saddened by her decision and only did it to protect him. This is further proven by the fact she remains in love with him.
- After Maul's death, she reorganizes and expands Crimson Dawn through recruiting many followers to infiltrate the Empire and other organizations as spies, as part of her plan to destroy the Sith and free the galaxy from Imperial rule.
- She steals the carbonite-frozen Han from Boba Fett and auctions him off, pitting the Hutts and the Empire against one another.

- Through her contacts, she manipulates various crime syndicates into warring against each other to gain the favor of the Empire.

- She obtains the Fermata Cage, a device that freezes people in time, via the Archivist and the Knights of Ren under her orders and starts a rumor of a Sith Lord being trapped in the Cage to lure Vader and Palpatine.
