Tavion is a fictional Dark Jedi character in the fictional Star Wars Expanded Universe, appearing in the computer games Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.

She was the apprentice of the even more powerful Dark Jedi, Desann. Her first introduction was where she supposedly captured and killed the New Republic agent, Jan Ors. She later confronted the Jedi Kyle Katarn in Bespin. She lost the fight and was nearly killed by Kyle, but he let her live. Shamed, she left. Later on, Kyle Katarn confronted Desann and killed the Dark Jedi.

In the following game Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Tavion found a merchant with a powerful Sith artifact, named the Scepter of Ragnos, which had belonged to the ancient Dark Lord of the Sith Marka Ragnos, who ruled the Sith Empire before Naga Sadow. She took Ragnos' Staff and killed the merchant. The voice of Ragnos began to communicate with Tavion, telling her to drain Force energy from places that possessed powerful Force power, so that she could regenerate Marka's cells, bringing him back to life. Tavion assembled the cult of Sith known as The Disciples Of Ragnos, and proceeded to drain Force energy from multiple places such as Hoth, Yavin, Byss, and Coruscant.

One of Kyle Katarn's apprentices, Rosh Penin, traveled to Byss to investigate the cult's activities. Rosh was captured by the Disciples of Ragnos and became Tavion's new apprentice. Tavion sent Rosh to Darth Vader's Bast Castle on Vjun to drain the Force energy there. Katarn's second apprentice, Jaden Korr, penetrated the castle and confronted Rosh. Kyle arrived when Rosh was beaten, and Tavion appeared to stop the Jedi. After Force pushing Kyle to a pillar, Tavion used Jaden's lightsaber to break the ceiling, trapping the Jedi while she and Rosh escaped.

Later, Rosh betrayed Tavion and turned back to the light side of the Force. Tavion assigned another apprentice, Alora, to imprison Rosh and lure Jaden and Kyle to rescue Rosh. Players of the game could choose to save Rosh, staying on the path of light; or kill Rosh, thus turning to the dark side. Either way Alora died in a lightsaber duel with Jaden.

Tavion traveled to Korriban, the Sith tomb world, to resurrect Marka Ragnos. The Jedi arrived and confronted the Disciples of Ragnos. Before Ragnos resurrected, Jaden broke into the tomb and confronted Tavion, who wielded both the lightsaber and the scepter. Tavion was defeated in the battle.

If Jaden had turned to the dark side, he would've killed the defenseless Tavion in cold blood. Kyle Katarn later confronted Jaden but failed to stop him, which resulted in Jaden holding the scepter and leaving Korriban with a hijacked Imperial Star Destroyer.

If Jaden stayed on the path of light, Tavion would unleash all the Force energy into Ragnos' Tomb after her deafeat, resulting in the resurrection of Marka Ragnos. Ragnos possessed Tavion's body to confront Jaden, using a Sith Sword hidden in the scepter. The Dark Lord failed to kill Jaden and he left Tavion's body. Tavion's body proved unable to withstand the corruption of Ragnos, and she lost her life. Jaden then destroyed the Scepter Of Ragnos, and Marka Ragnos was forced to return to his sarcophagus forever.

Although no official information has been released as to which path, light or dark, was followed, Tavion did die on Korriban.
