This is one of the reoccurring characters from my Star Wars Fanfiction series: Star Wars: The Shadow Wars.

Note: The information below is from my own universe which is a blend of old and new canon and it not to be considered canon in any other universe but mine. I should also mention that this character is canon (at least Legacy Canon) but its history is significantly different as far as my universe is concerned.

Name: Darth Lumiya, Shira Elan Colla Brie (Former name)
Born: 22 BBY (Age 50)
Homeworld: Coruscant
Bounty: 1,000,000 Credits (Wanted Dead: Sith Empire)
Affiliations: Darth Maul, First Order of the Sith (Excommunicated), the Second Galactic Empire (Exiled), the First Galactic Empire (Formerly), the Rebel Alliance (Feigned allegiance, Imperial Spy), the Emperor's Hand (Formerly)

Born on Coruscant shortly before the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Shira Brie was only three when her parents "vanished" into the night and she was taken to the Imperial Palace where she was raised to become a fanatical and loyal servant to the Emperor. Her abduction was not random, indeed she had been identified thanks to the theft of a list of Force Sensitive children that had been compiled by the Jedi. With the Jedi wiped out by the Empire, Palpatine ordered mass abductions of these Force Sensitive children, Shira amongst them. As a Force Sensitive, her progress was carefully monitored. Darth Vader saw her as a potential Apprentice and decided to observe her from a distance. She managed to accrue an impressive list of achievements before being sent by Vader as an undercover agent within the Rebellion.

Her mission: To murder or discredit Luke Skywalker in the eyes of his fellow Rebels.

Shira infiltrated the Rebellion successfully and gradually worked her way up to becoming one of Luke Skywalker's own wing guards. Galen Marek, the Rebellion's leader and founder, personally pinned several of the Rebellion's highest honors on her for her outstanding service to the Rebellion. Even Master Rahm Kota was impressed with her, but Maris Brood, the other one of the Rebellion's Jedi suspected her and was constantly uncomfortable around her. Eventually Shira successfully executed her mission during Operation Earplug when, during a communications blackout, Luke was forced to rely on the Force to tell friend from foe, and shot down Shira who was in a captured TIE Fighter. Luke was disgraced but now Maris was convinced more than ever that Shira was dirty, especially when she heard Luke's side of the story. She personally assisted Luke in a raid on an Imperial Data Vault which uncovered Shira's true identity as an Imperial Spy.

Shira herself had suffered serious injury in the mission but survived. Fitted with cybernetics much like her Master, Darth Vader, Shira was remade into Lumiya, one of the Emperor's Hands and one of Vader's Shadow Hands. Lumiya would go on to become a particularly skilled wielder of the lightwhip, a rare lightsaber type weapon. She have several encounters with the Rebellion, coming face to face with Luke Skywalker on a few occasions and once even tried to defeat Galen but Galen easily overpowered her with Force Lightning, exploiting her weakness and forcing her to flee. All trace of Lumiya disappeared however, shortly after the Battle of Endor.

What happened to Lumiya between 4 ABY and 28 ABY is mostly open to conjecture. What is known is that she came under the tutelage of Darth Akul, Palpatine's secret apprentice. Lumiya eventually progressed to the point that Akul granted her the name of Darth Lumiya, making her a fully fledged Sith Lord. Lumiya's role in the outbreak of the Shadow Wars was a comparatively quiet one. While the majority of the Empress's Hands (with the exception of Darth Sheelal as he was still on assignment to Kalee), rampaged through either the Senate Chambers on Coruscant or the Jedi Temples on Yavin IV, Lumiya was tasked with assaulting key strategic targets: bombarding an abandoned monetary on Teth, obliterating the Varykino lakeside retreat on Naboo from orbit, destroying the city of Mos Espa on Tatooine along with Jabba's Palace, and commencing an invasion of Christophsis, all on Akul's order as a subtle message to Anakin Skywalker that it was his former Apprentice: Ahsoka Tano, that was leading the new Empire.

Lumiya would then be placed in charge of intercepting a shipment of aurodium meant for the New Republic from the Banking Clan. Her mission failed when she was forced to contend with the piloting skills of Jaina Solo and Grey Squadron, Lumiya's ships being destroyed by only a few starfighters, forcing her into a retreat. This failure earned her the ire of her Master who, afterwards, had her tasked with devising a scheme to assassinate Boba Fett in retaliation for the Mandalorians' siding with the Republic at the outbreak of the Shadow Wars. She recruited Clawdite Changeling Assassin, Sone Wesell, the daughter of Zam Wesell, Jango Fett's former partner. Sone eagerly accepted the mission, seeking revenge against Boba and the entire Fett Clan for her mother's death. With Lumiya's help, Sone was able to skillfully infiltrate, knocking out and taking the place of Ailyn Vel, Fett's daughter who was taken to a prison facility on Malachor V.

Akul had not approved of using Wesell as her motives were self-serving and she knew too much about the mission, and could possibly be found out. Lumiya attempted to reassure her Master that Wesell was capable, but soon learned that Wesell had indeed failed, having been captured by the Mandalorians after a botched assassination attempt. As punishment, Akul sent Lumiya to oversee the prison facility at Malachor V as its new warden as well as to interrogate or turn the Jedi Prisoners there to the Dark Side. Lumiya was now disgraced but obeyed and after settling in, Lumiya discovered that one of the former Empress's Hands, the Nightsister Silri, was imprisoned there. Seeking to torment the Nightsister, Lumiya had her removed from her cell and was prepared to whip the Nightsister when Kento Marek and a squad of Mandalorian Supercommandos infiltrated the prison and released the prisoners, causing a riot. Darth Akul witnessed this via remote and was finally convinced that Lumiya did not deserve the title of Darth.

Akul gave the order for all Sith Forces to turn on Lumiya and kill her but Lumiya managed to escape along with Silri on a Sith Shuttle, vowing revenge against the Empress for her betrayal. Fleeing with Silri to a mercenary station near Lok, the pair got Silri a new cybernetic leg to replace the cheap quality one she'd been fitted with before. Afterwards the two went on a rampage throughout the station, murdering everyone including the men, women, and children that were unfortunate enough to be trapped there. Their hope was to lure out the Jedi so as to get the necessary parts to build lightsabers or lightwhips. Their plan was partly successful as Jedi Master Kyle Katarn, along with Jedi Knights Jacen Solo and Kento Marek, Jedi Padawan Tahiri Velia, Mandalorian tracker Venku Skirata, and several Jedi Temple Guardsmen, arrived to try and arrest the pair. Unfortunately they also drew the attention of the Sith who sent Darth Stalker to execute them both. In the end, the Dark Ladies escaped, both women now armed and seeking a new Master, the first Apprentice of Darth Sideous...

...Darth Maul.

Silri brought Lumiya before Maul who brought the two with him to the Mustafar System in an attempt to draw out the Empress and defeat her in combat. They managed to draw her out along with Darth Talzin and Darth Anjo, but also drew the attention of Anakin Skywalker who arrived with Galen Marek to confront them both. While Skywalker, Maul, and Akul engaged in a three-way-fight, Lumiya and Silri engaged Galen, Anjo, and Talzin in a fight, Talzin seeking to kill Galen from their past history in the Rebellion. In the end, all three parties were forced into a retreat, licking their wounds. Lumiya, along with Maul and Silri, haven't been seen since, but it is confirmed that Maul is teaching both of the Dark Ladies in the ways of the Dark Side.

Lumiya is a vicious combatant. She is highly proficient in using a lightwhip but has since added a spare lightsaber to her arsenal. Lumiya is incapable of using Force Lightning due to her cybernetics and was indeed rendered vulnerable to its use. Fortunately Force Lightning is largely forbidden by the Jedi and only Galen Marek has shown a willingness to use it against her. Her cybernetics have been modified with a few special enhancements such as retractable spiked metal cleats in her feet to help her maintain a strong footing against strong forces (or even strong applications of Force Push or Pull), retractable claws in her fingers, and various other hidden cybernetic advantages. Lumiya is also a talented pilot and strategist. Lumiya typically wears a mask and special headdress so that only her eyes are visible. However since her excommunication from the Sith, Lumiya has abandoned her facial disguise for the most part, now adopting a simple hood. She also carries a blaster with her as a means of added defense.
