The Death of the Dark Woman

Darth Vader tracked down the Dark Woman (An'ya Kuro), to Cophrigin V, a obscure world in the Outer Rim Territories which had escaped the notice of the Galactic Empire. Vader and the Dark Woman engaged in a intensive duel, which ultimately resulted in victory for the Sith Lord. Kuro died but merged into the Force as a spirit. In this form, she told Vader that there was still a chance for him to return to the Light Side of the Force. Vader however, refused to listen to her, and Kuro's spirit disappeared. With the death of An'ya Kuro, and then shortly afterwards, the final elimination of Rahm Kota, Emperor Palpatine officially declared the Great Jedi Purge over. The Purge had raged for eighteen years and had resulted in the virtual extinction of the Jedi Order. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Olee Starstone were the only Jedi still remaining by the beginning of 0 BBY.
