The Witches of Dathomir was a group made up of Force-using women on Dathomir. They controlled the government and society of the planet, though they were not tyrannical and the settlers of Dathomir appreciated all they had done for the planet. The Witches of Dathomir had an unspoken understanding with the Order of the Sith Lords when the Sith arrived on Dathomir that the two groups would leave the other one alone.
