One of the galaxy's most formidable warriors held a very important meeting in Chalmun's Cantina.

Asajj Ventress had once been trained in the Jedi arts before she lost her master. She then succumbed to Count Dooku and the dark side of the force, beginning years of training as a Sith apprentice. She grew so powerful so quickly that Darth Sidious ordered her execution, which Dooku reluctantly complied with in a display of loyalty.

After the Battle of Dathomir, in which she almost defeated General Grevious but then suffered the loss of her people, the Nightsisters, she was alone in the galaxy again, eventually finding her way to Tatooine, as so many of the down and outs tended to do. In the season four episode "Bounty", of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, she quickly made her way to Mos Eisely and to Chalmun's.

While attempting to drown her sorrows in the bar, a bounty hunter named Oked foolishly tried to bother her. She casually impaled him on her lightsaber and kept drinking. This led to her recruitment to the group he had been a member of, bringing her under the wing of a certain hunter wearing Mandalorian armour, Boba Fett.
