Hey, that thing is yay-big!

Having learned that a Thule ship's been taken prisoner by space pirates, the crew is sent to retrieve it for the Republic. The plan seems easy enough: sneak in with one of Dalt's stealth ships and, well, knock everybody out.

They get as far as skulking aboard, when they have a run-in with several of the pirates in a hallway. The Jedi deal with them easily enough with the old "deflect blaster bolts back at the enemy" trick. So far, so good.

Then they find a bunch of people dead in the cafeteria, of what seems to be in-fighting. They find four more guys on the bridge, about to tear into each other till the Jedi show up and intimidate them (with suspicious ease) into surrender. Then, scoping out the rest of the ship, Oola spots the other three pirates standing guard in the brig, wearing masks...and a guy who's hooked up to the engines. Oh, and something so fast that the security tapes can't catch it on film, darting through the ducts with a lightsaber.

Hey, it's in the ducts over the cockpit! Zann crushes the duct closed to capture the thing, but it chops its way out and Force Lightnings the entire electrical system. It's a catfish-man! I mean, a Sith! A half-Sith. After destroying the group's breathers, it jumps back into the ductwork. Ree chases, and it breaks her hand while attempting to destroy her lightsaber. While in there, she notices some of those Dark Side boxes Dalt's creation installed in the ventilation system, and lets Oola know.

The rest, excepting Oola, pursue on foot beneath the ductwork, following it to the prison cells. The Dark Side catfish-man tries to free the Thule prisoners, but Oola foresightfully locked down their cells so they could only be freed from the cockpit. It's able to lock the doors to the brig area, however, so Ree's stuck fighting it there till Zann can cut his way in with his lightsaber. She manages to defeat it, then, after Kedrihm'Val prevents the Thule warriors from pulling the fallen guards' blasters to them, Zann severs them from the Force.

With everyon taken care of, the group searches the ship. The person attached to the propulsion system is a Force user, a boy who's apparently being used as some sort of living power source. They have to wait to detach him till they get back to Coruscant, but in the meantime they do find a box in the Sith's room. Studying it, they realize it contains the Dark Side spirit of a Sith Lord named Marka Ragnos (here, just go read it).

And guess what? The box is about...yay big! After talking to Luke and Kyp, they take the box to an asteroid where Kedrihm'Val traps the spirit in a summoning ritual and the Force users tear it apart with Force Light. Then Zann tears the box apart.

When they get back, Dalt wants to know what happened. Oola's the first to voice the bad feeling they all share that this was too easy.

Then they go to see themselves in the movies.
