Tia Ba

Tia Ba is a Kaminoan geneticist who created the Mirror (or CT-09X, as she referred to him).

Tia Ba helped the PCs defeat the Mirror by giving them the medical data that revealed his dependency on Phlesminol. She did this because she believed the PCs were going to bring him back to her alive so she could attempt to fix what was wrong with him (Nomi Amersu, as Daalo Deelo, said she would bring him back "whole").

Later, Emor Zhalto learned that Tia Ba had been spotted on Kashyyyk. Brawln, Nomi, and Reevo Tetsu went there to investigate, bringing the Mirror's corpse with them to return it to her. Tia Ba had been hired by Zaltin Corp, a large biomedical corporation that was building a new facility on Kashyyyk. Brawln's contact Cheen volunteered to keep an eye on her after Brawln, Nomi, and Reevo left. (See: Brawln and the Case of the Suspicious Scientist)

Tia Ba's work at the Zaltin Corp facility involved cloning a Wookiee workforce that would be more cooperative and tractable than the natives of the planet. When Seth Iscandar learned of the project, he arranged for the Empire to take control of it, wanting Tia Ba to apply her skills to the cloning of Force users (with Rhen and Sekar Mirah as genetic templates). Lilikai Singan followed him there, intending to take the Nightsisters into her custody. However, when she arrived, she made a deal to leave the Nightsisters with Iscandar in exchange for Tia Ba, for reasons that are as yet unclear.

Tia Ba's current whereabouts are unknown (possibly Byss, since Lilikai is known to have gone there from Kashyyyk).
