** ''Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire'':
*** Guri is a deadly female droid who serves as Prince Xizor's personal aide and assassin. She can easily kill most people (only Luke ever beats her).
*** Leia gets up to less action in this book, but still briefly shows her stuff, kneeing Xizor in the groin at once after breaking free from the pheromone-caused lust toward him.
*** Early on, Xizor also hires the Pike sisters as assassins due to their skills as martial artists. He watches a holo where they wipe out eight armed stormtroopers and approvingly notes neither is even breathing hard after. Both are experts in an unarmed combat technique; ''Shadows of the Empire: Evolution'' also shows they're equally skilled with blasters.
