The prospect of facing Malak, of seeing the core of the dark side, wasn’t exactly pleasant.

Probably just wanted to save their manpower for the fight that actually mattered. She shared Carth’s reservation as to why they sent her and Bastila alone out into the depths of space if this assignment was as important as they claimed. She knew enough about the Jedi – and the Republic, for that matter – to know that they wouldn’t trust them with the real responsibility. It might be interesting to see the heart of the Jedi Order, see how they behaved surrounded by strength and stability.Īt any rate, they wouldn’t want a Padawan to head up the real assault. Maybe she’d go back to Dantooine or even Coruscant. And she still had a lot of training left, as Bastila was fond of reminding her. The Jedi would take over at that point and organize a counter-attack to stop whatever Malak had planned. She had no idea what happened after they found it and figured out what this damned Star Forge was. Assuming Korriban gave them the answers they needed. Still, she had to finish this first – four star maps in and only one left to go. Sure, her life-plan had been royally screwed when she went and became a Jedi, but she’d always assumed it would just be her and a ship until the end. How did people enjoy staring out at so much nothing? Not that she’d ever really be happy in one place. The Ebon Hawk took off from Tatooine amidst the dense sandstorm, which just left Vess feeling confident she never, ever wanted to settle down in a desert.
