Character
The destruction of Thyferra was something that weighed heavily on Sundara's shoulders, since only shortly after the invasion. Had the overall goal of that day been simply 'don't die', it would've been an easy success. However, giving that the general idea was to prevent the planet's destruction, push back the Sith's assault, maybe even stop the Sith in general (though that itself could hardly be considered a legitimate goal), the invasion had ended in a resounding failure. Sundara had left with her life, sure, but with it, questions that she'd never considered much less had wanted to deal with. Imagine - the organization you'd devoted your life to serving, turning out to be little more than a cesspool of corruption.
Yeah, Sundara hadn't wanted to think about it, either.
At first, she had wanted to just forget the specifics of Thyferra ever happened, simply focus on any efforts to rebuild. And she certainly tried, ignoring the recommendations to take a break and recuperate herself. Anything to distract herself, really. Surely, if she threw herself into enough projects, helped enough people rebuild, she could put ease to that seed of doubt that had sprouted as a result of the invasion. Very few blamed her for being jumpy, either. Pit a measly little knight up against the current Dark Lord of the Sith and one'd be a fool not to expect them to at least be a little on edge. That was assuming they survived, of course, something Sundara still hadn't quite processed. And how did one move on after that sort of thing?
The list of people she could think to consult was dismally small, none of which she would even think to mention the conversation she'd ended up having with the Dark Lord. No, it seemed she was alone in this endeavor. Just her and the near-overwhelming sense of doubt for the Jedi as a whole, something even after the invasion she couldn't shake off.
Come to Bastion, I will complete the training your masters neglected to give you.
The Dark Lord's words were still fresh in her head, stubbornly refusing to grant her any peace of mind and also probably why she found herself en route to Bastion's surface now. The trip and really the past few weeks had been exhausting ones, circles very visibly forming around the Devaronian's eyes. A new saberstaff, forged with what she could salvage of the old one as well as new materials to fill in the unrepairable pieces, rested at her side. New weapon and the previous invitation of sorts aside, being so far into Sith space alone was nothing short of terrifying.
Such terror probably leaked through her request to land, the message already incredibly awkward as per Sundara fashion. In her defense, 'Come to Bastion', while straightforward, didn't really cover all the ins and outs of actually getting there in one piece. How she'd made it this far, she had no clue. When questioned, she very nearly gave up, tempted to turn the ship around if not for the fact that she was already too far in to get out safely.
"This is Je-" Could she even call herself a Jedi anymore? She hadn't exactly identified herself as anything other than that on Thyferra. For recognition sake, she went with it. "Jedi Knight, Sundara Nyveit, requesting an audience with the Dark Lord? Regarding Thyferra." Yeah, she probably botched that request to land beyond redemption. Already, this little trip was looking to be a mistake.
