Akasha Khan is the firstborn daughter of Lord Akhira Khan, patriarch of one of the noble houses on the isolated outer rim world of Orryxia. Shortly after her sixteenth birthday, her father was framed for treachery against the Orryxian crown by one of the rival houses sympathetic to the Empire. Akasha was sent off-world under the care of her corpulent nursemaid, Shiraga M'runhn, in the guise of her daughter. But Shiraga chose her transport unwisely, and the two Orryxians were shanghaied by slavers running through Hutt space.

They ended up on Klatooine in the household of Jaarhu the Hutt, a modest weapons dealer, but Akasha, rebelling at every opportunity, quickly made an enemy of the Hutt's majordomo, a Chagrian bureaucrat named Filius Trakkin. He sent her to the local fighting pits, hoping she would meet a bloody end, but to his dismay, she won her matches. During her final bout, a chain battle against a Barabel champion, she attracted the attention of Darth Malleus, who was visiting to order a purchase of weapons for her Mandalorian troops. Recognizing Akasha as Force-Sensitive, Malleus bought her from the Hutt and took her as a new apprentice, intending to mold the young Orryxian into a weapon herself.
