Legend

this group of Force-sensitive women were once students of the Jedi Order, during the years following the Great Sith War. Many of the members of the Handmaiden Sisters lacked any formal training, and some believed that they were the surviving members of the Echani Handmaidens. Others were unable to fully tap into the Force, which gave them the advantage of "hiding in plain sight" during the years following the Mandalorian Wars. However, in the wake of the Jedi Civil War, they were exiled to Telos, in order to preserve the teachings of the Jedi. They brought with them a wealth of artifacts and various holocrons and other recorded lessons, hoping that their remoteness would save them if the Jedi Order were to disappear. Led by Atris, the Handmaiden Sisters established a training facility beneath the northern polar icecap of Telos, well away from prying eyes. In addition to their training with the Force, the Handmaiden Sisters were also well-versed in the Echani martial arts.
