The oldest and wisest of the Nightsisters clan, Old Daka's knowledge of the arcane magicks was unprecedented. When the Separatists launched a devastating attack on Dathomir, and the Nightsisters were outnumbered by General Grievous's droid forces, Mother Talzin retreated into the depths of the witches' lair and called upon Old Daka for help. Daka used an ancient incantation to summon the dead from the Nightsisters' graveyard, bolstering their number with zombie hordes.
Mother Talzin entreated the gnarled Old Daka for help during the battle droid invasion of Dathomir. As Daka concentrated on the reanimation of dead Nightsisters, Talzin used her own potent spells to exact vengeance on Count Dooku.
Daka's magic reached into the graveyards of Dathomir and stirred the mummified corpses of long-dead Nightsisters. The horrid zombies emerged from their preserving cocoons and clawed their way into the battlefield as screeching, running terrors.
The Nightsisters are an ancient clan of magic-wielding women on the remote world of Dathomir. Old Daka is the eldest of their coven.
Dathomir is a rarely traveled world that was untouched throughout most of the Clone Wars.
When Count Dooku was threatened by the curses of Mother Talzin, he ordered General Grievous to destroy her. Marching into the lair of the Nightsisters, Grievous cut down Old Daka as she focused on her reanimation spells.
