Ventress, amidst the challengers just prior to beginning the Selection ritual
TheSelection was a three-ritual series of brutal trials held in theNightbrother arena, in which theNightsisters ofDathomir chose men from theNightbrother clan to serve as their mates and servants.[1] The first of the three tests was theTest of Fury, in which the Nightsister participating must face off against and defeat six Nightbrother clan leaders to pass.[2] The second was achallenge of blindness, in which the surviving Nightbrothers of the first test were forced to fight the Nightsister in the dark. The third, and final was a challenge in which the last survivors would face off against the Nightsister one last time, on elevated pillars.[1]
WhenMaul was achild,Darth Sidious was to hold the Selection to find a warrior to travel with him across the galaxy. Rumors in theNightbrother village spread of the event among the boys. Maul was forbidden to play as he was confined to his home, due to his surge ofForce abilities at the time. Channelling his anger, he tore the door from its hinges usingthe Force. When Maul made it to the Selection, hechoked hiskeeper and histwosons. This pleased Sidious and he took Maul as hisapprentice.[3]
In20 BBY,[4]Asajj Ventress held the Selection to find a warrior to aid her in her quest for vengeance against her former master,CountDooku.[1]
