History
Mighella was a Nightsister from the planet Dathomir. She served as the personal bodyguard and enforcer of crime lord Alexi Garyn, leader of the infamous Black Sun criminal syndicate. Mighella executed the will of Lord Garyn unquestioningly, with her sword and the power of the dark side of the Force. In 33 BBY, Mighella's service to Alexi Garyn came to an end when a mysterious Force-wielding assassin known only as "Maul" eliminated each Vigo of the Black Sun and their minions charged by his Master Darth Sidious to strike the criminal syndicate Black Sun and destroy it.
The assassin cut his way through all the Sun's lieutenants who were no match for the assassin until only Garyn and Mighella remained. When Maul arrived on Garyn's homeworld of Ralltiir, Mighella sensed him as a disturbance in the Force and urged her Master to make haste his exit lest he also fall victim to Maul's wrath. Her master did as advised while Mighella confronted the assassin in the depths of Garyn's fortress, where she engaged Maul in combat to buy time for Garyn to escape.
Mighella attempted to confront Maul herself where she engaged him in combat to buy time for Garyn to escape. She held her fellow darksider and Nightbrother at bay for a short while before she was eventually overcome by his superior battle prowess. She attempted to use an energized sword to stop Darth Maul in the duel then she surprised him with a barrage of Force lightning. A moment later Mighella realized too late that her opponent was a Sith Lord with far-superior knowledge of the dark side. Maul slayed the Nightsister with a slash of his lethal double-bladed lightsaber slicing her in two and Mighella fell failing to protect her master Garyn, whom Maul killed shortly thereafter.
