Arden Lyn is a Star Wars Expanded Universe character who appears in the video game Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi.
Arden Lyn is a master of a nearly forgotten fighting style called Teräs Käsi. Taught the art on the planet Bunduki by ancient hermits called the "Followers of Palawa", her skill in it is unmatched. While she has a youthful appearance, Arden has been a Palawan warrior for thousands of years. She was the lover of Xendor, the Dark Jedi who initiated the First Great Schism in the Jedi Order during the Unification Wars. Following Xendor's death, Arden lost a fight with the Jedi Master Awdrysta Pina. Pina finished Lyn off with the Force power mortichro, which stops the victim's heart, and left her for dead. Pina had made a mistake however- Lyn's strength in the Force was such that the attack was converted into Morichro, a healing trance that lasted for 25,000 years, until she was awakened during the Great Jedi Purge. She was captured by High Inquisitor Tremayne of the Imperial Inquisitorius. She managed to escape Tremayne, injuring him, and killing his fellow Inquisitor Ameesa Darys. She was soon hunted down again, and after Grand Inquisitor Torbin cut off one of her arms in battle, her skills attracted the attention of the Emperor and Darth Vader. She became one of the Emperor’s personal assassins, an Emperor's Hand like Mara Jade and Shira Brie. The Emperor gave her the mission of eliminating the leaders of the Rebel Alliance and capturing the Jedi Luke Skywalker.
She failed in her mission and would later betray the Emperor and Lord Vader by joining up with Grand Admiral Zaarin. In an attempted coup, Arden would attempt to kidnap the Emperor. Zaarin's rebellion would be put down by Admiral Thrawn. Zaarin was killed in battle with Thrawn's fleet, and Arden Lyn was murdered by Emperor Palpatine himself.
