"That can certainly be arranged."

"Good."

Then back into the ship, and Occlus and Lily can determine what she would consider an appropriate level of test.

She's very curious how she measures up against the more powerful Sith, especially when she's going more all out.

Thanaton will certainly be putting his apprentices in the field to start with, even if the man himself is more likely to hide away. But that is where the Kaggath will work in Occlus's favor- if she is showing herself while Thanaton does not, that is a strike against him.

Especially if his loyal underlings die while he hides.

Indeed.

Tiny anticipatory smirk.

Soon enough, they get to Corellia. Occlus must confer with her military leader, a man named Moff Pyron. Her apprentices can listen in, or try their hands at meditation and see if they can squeeze some guidance out of the Force for where they can be most effective.

She'd like to listen in. 

Fair enough.

The war conference is brief and to the point. Pyron's forces have space superiority, so Thanaton's making this a ground war. He's digging in, fortifying, and so should they. In the meantime, however, Pyron has located one of Thanaton's apprentices, a Lord Skar. He's in a position removed from the bulk of Thanaton's forces and therefore vulnerable. Taking him out in the first strike would be a strong opening blow.

Seems like a job for Occlus's own apprentices. 

It does. His outpost is suffering Republic attacks, so attention should be distracted for them to sneak in.

Any instructions? 

"The both of you are to return alive. Skar is not. Obtain what intelligence you can from him before he dies. Composition and disposition of forces, Thanaton's plans, location, and so on."

"Roger."

"Seize your destiny, apprentice."

"I don't need to be told that."

"Consider it an expression of confidence."

"Duly noted, my Lord."

"Well then. Off you go."

She'll gather Brin and survey the territory. 

Skar is holed up in one of the control towers for Corellia's rocket tram transportation system. An intricate and interconnected series of rails that is undoubtedly and most efficient way to transport goods and people across the surface. Neither the Republic nor the Empire want to damage the actual infrastructure, as it's a great deal of the value of the planet's manufacturing capability, so the battle for control is being fought at towers like these, that control the track switches and car schedules. Not wanting to bring down the tower either just yet, the Republic forces are mobbed around the tower's entrance, where Skar's forces are funneling them into the choke point of the door.

Just mundane forces? Or are there any lightsiders nearby?

There are a couple Jedi scattered around, in leadership positions.
