Then he can Show Brin Around! The ship has Places like a bridge and a kitchen and rooms.

There's a sudden spike of irritation from Occlus.

"...What was that?"

"—that was Lord Occlus. I'm not sure whether it's wiser to to stay away or go check on her but I know what I'm gonna do."

She's conflicted for a moment, chewing on her lower lip, then follows him.

To Occlus, then.

She's talking to someone over the holocomm.

     "-enough games. This ends now. I declare a Kaggath."

"I accept. Location?"

     "Corellia."

"Very well." A sharp jerk of her hand cuts the image off.

"My Lord? Is something the matter?"

"That was Darth Thanaton. We are in the endgame now."

"...The Councilor?"

"He wants to kill Lord Occlus," Rafa explains, "so she's gonna kill him right back before he gets the chance. ...not back but—you know what I mean."

"Ah."

"Quiet." Occlus fiddles with the comm. "Moff Pyron."

     "Lord Occlus. I trust all is well?"

"Thanaton has made his move. Corellia."

     "My fleet will be there in sixteen hours."

"Good. Secure a position and begin fortifying. I will join you presently."

"What's a Kaggath?" he asks after she's hung up.

"An old tradition. A ritual duel between Sith, power against power. Each amasses their forces, and then seeks to destroy the other. There are no rules in the Kaggath, save that the conflict must not exceed the bounds of the chosen arena."

"Duel or war?"

Sounds like war.

"The difference between the two is, as ever, simply one of scale."

"Yeah exactly, and it sounded like this would be pretty large-scale. Which I guess makes sense if it's not just Force power but also social power you're using to fight, there."

"Are... we going to be part of this Kaggath?"

"As my apprentices, you will certainly be targeted, yes."

"Joy of joys. Welcome to Sith life."

"I will keep you protected, do not worry."

"Thank you, my Lord."

He's worrying anyway.

"I have more calls to make before we jump to hyperspace. Go, try to relax."
