Darth Malak vs Darth Marr

I've heard that Malak gets ranked pretty highly here, so I reckon this is an appropriate battle. Ant has respect threads on both of the characters - Marr isn't as proven a combatant but he at least has something in every major category, so I reckon this could be a fight. If it's too much in Malak's favor I'll give him a harder fight next time.

Takes place in the Dark Council Chambers, with the rest of the Council watching and ready to execute anybody who attempts to flee.

That being said, Malak's prowess with a blade surpasses Marr's unsupported hype to me. Marr is faster but it's not enough to cover the gap. I doubt anybody is noticeably more powerful in the Force.

For now Malak.

Are the DC council chambers a darkside nexus out of curiosity?

Well, it should be since it's on Korriban, and it's a regular meeting place of the Empire's most powerful Dark Lords, so it's logically a small nexus at least.

I don't recall anything being mentioned about it, though.

Malak.

Marr's pretty good, but yea, Malak.

Can Malak penetrate the defenses of a planetary shield?

Probably.
