Trying my best to try,
Trying to succeeed,
False attempts, and high expecations,
I can't do it all
I too, have needs,
I dream at night,
And live by day,
Now is my chance,
And now... I am ready


Corran paced the floor of the Sith Infiltrator. Lord Jas's Sith Infiltrator, that is.

It was a nice ship, and Corran wondered constantly how the Sith had retrieved an acient ship like this. A ship that has dated back to a millenia ago, during the Sith Golden Age.

History was a constant topic on Corran's village. As well as knowledge. The Ubese believed that more they knew of something, easier it was to take down that thing... or follower of that thing. Corran constantly thought of his home, remembering the only way he could go back was if he had fullfilled his prophecy... his destiny.

The light thumping sounds of Corrans' boots to the floor was the only noise in the ship, besides a low hum. Corran was enjoying studying the ship, and trying to figure it out, Everytime he figured out something, he would find a new aspect on it, and have to rethink it all over. This ship was the most intriguing thing ever and Corran wasn't ready to leave until he found out how it worked and all it's little secrets.

"Amazing..." muttered the Ubese warrior poking a brown mark under a tile in the back of the ship. An eery feeling crept into Corran as he pressed the brown mark, so he quickly pulled back and stepped away.

The young Sith Apprentice decided against probing any further, and turned around. He started to evaluate his current situation: He was in a ship that he has envied since he started learning of ships and history. He knew nothing of what he had to do, for Lord Vance had not told him.

Secrecy had envoloped Corran all his life, and he was tired of it. He hated secrets, and lies. Secrets were what led people to ignorance, and ignorance led to weakness. He had learned that as a child from his father, yet as he grew, he realized his father had been keeping secrets from people too.

More Corran thought of things, the more things seemed to make less sense. Now he was even starting to adopt not even thinking too deeply on most subjects, just to let his knowledge of a topic to lead him. That is what he had learned, and he was ready for whatever awaits him. Be it good or bad...

Vance walked into the main hold. He looked to the Sith Apprentice who paced, sensing the other's uncertainty, his concern; but also a portion of curiosity, of being impressed. The former feelings seemed appropriate, really, as it was very rare for a Sith Master to simply request a pupil to follow, without including the masses of other students.

No doubt Corran was trying to think of any number of potential outcomes for the unexpected trip.

"We are bound for Naboo, Apprentice," Vance said, his voice cutting through the silence of the hold, as he came to a stop at the entranceway. Crossing his arms, the Sith Master inclined his head. "Following the exodus of the Jedi Order, and their need to spread out across the galaxy, I have decided that it is high time to return to the Sith's former planet of residence... to which we will reclaim it from the Jedi that remain."

Motioning to the holoprojector table, with a select few seats around it, Vance flicked the button that flashed the unit to life. With a whir, the small blue-hued image of the planet Naboo appeared. As the program began to play, so to did the holo zoom in on a portion of land, and then a city, and then a temple; if Corran knew of Naboo, and it's locale, then he would recognize the image in sight as Theed...

But, nonetheless, Vance would explain as such, anyway.

"This is Theed, the central city of Naboo," The Sith Master said, walking toward the holoprojector. "The Jedi temple is located near the Theed Palace, and consequently our efforts must remain subtle. I do not need to implore on you the dangers of alerting the entirety of the Theed guard, correct?"

Smirking to himself, the Sith Master reached out and pushed another button on the unit with his gloved hand. "You may also notice that the Palace has been highlighted. This remains so, simply because of the fact that the current Queen in service is a Jedi sympathizer; and as such, requires removal from her term, so that we may take what was once ours.

"Tell me, Apprentice, what course of action to you suggest we take?"

It would be interesting to hear how Corran would formulate his plan, now having been told of the factors that would surely help decide on the best stratagem for the situation...
