| abstract | - After nine attempts to breed a stable clone of the Princess of Alderaan under the designations LV-alpha-1 to LV-alpha-9 had failed, Vader started looking for alternatives. He finally ordered the Kaminoan cloners to use material of a Jedi Padawan, Minafe Felis, who had died by his own hand during Operation: Knightfall in the Jedi Temple in 19 BBY. The genetic sample had been collected from her, as secretly done with every Jedi Initiate at Chancellor Palpatine's command, when the young Witch of Dathomir had been inducted into the Jedi Order some decades earlier. Still being possessed with the idea of having a dark side counterpart of the Senator, he admired for her courage, but not for her conviction, he also assigned scientists to create an artificial emotions and mind profile from the template, but with strong belief in Sith lore and loyalty towards only him. Would the breeding succeed, the clone should be brainwashed and the synthetically prepared ego profile under the name "Lady Vader" be induced instead. The clone under the designation LV-beta-1 survived the process and was nourished by the cloners for the next few years before it was mature already in 5 ABY due to methods for accelerated growth having been applied. Though the client had passed in the meantime above Endor in 4 ABY, the Kaminoans still fulfilled Vader's assignment, erased the clone's memory and replaced it with Lady Vader's synthesized ego. The process being hardly finished, the clone freed herself from the bonds and intuitively attacked and killed all scientists with the red lightsaber, Vader had fashioned for her after his own weapon in preparation for his apprentice.
