| "That's how I was known to his inner court: as the Emperor's Hand. I served him all over the galaxy, doing jobs the Imperial Fleet and stormtroopers couldn't handle. That was my one great talent, you see - I could hear his call from anywhere in the Empire, and report back to him the same way. I exposed traitors for him, brought down his enemies, helped him keep the kind of control over the mindless bureaucracies that he needed. I had prestige, and power, and respect." (from Heir to The Empire by Timothy Zahn) |

| Some Classic Lines:
"The usurpation of Imperial authority ends now." "I'm the Emperor's Hand. I am the ultimate predator." "I'm going wherever I wish, whenever I wish, which is now." "Ask me if I care."

For the bookshelf – where
to read about her:
Timothy Zahn's books are all essential
reading: Heir to The Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command, Specter
of The Past, Vision of The Future.
Mara also appears in various other novels
and short stories. My personal favorites among the non-Zahn books (in regards
with how Mara is portrayed in them) are "I, Jedi" and Aaron Allston's Rebel
Dream/Rebel Stand duology.
Comics: Mara Jade – by the Emperor's Hand,
Heir to The Empire, Dark Force Rising, The Last Command, Union, various
short stories.
