Which is still very arguable, because in all three of Meetra's fights she is still suffering a week's worth of terrible conditions, starting with nearly losing her mind and very existence on Nathema and followed by four days of no sleep or sustenance before landing on a nexus that is stated to significantly diminish her connection to the light side of the Force.

Despite that she completely out-performs Scourge twice.

Nathema did no permanent damage to her, in fact I don't think it actually did anything to her except psyche her out, she sustained herself with the Force as was mentioned in the story (and theres no real indication that she didn't eat something or get some rest after researching the data on Nathema) and Malachor makes Kaas look like a picnic by comparison.

5 votes for N&N?

I'd say he was actually submitting to KOTOR's hype. You know, KOTOR wanked 2 things the most: Revan and hidden sith. The novel also wanks those two things.

Hell, according to KOTOR II, Vitiate's empire is the descendant of Sith who had multiple Nihilus level drainers, and was >>> KOTOR in dueling.

Considering how powerful they actually are, that really doesn't make it any less logical to assume that Drew was portraying Meetra as an individual who, as Neph pointed out, defeated Traya after wading through legions of assassins and Sith on an immense DS nexus, when she's getting her shit pushed in by Nyriss in seconds. Understand that he admits to not having even played the game.

If we follow that to its logical conclusions it makes Darth Nyriss vastly more powerful than Traya, Revan Yoda-tier for stomping her and Vitiate equal to the Father (or Traya was just a parlour trick lady and a scrub). If that's acceptable in your books, cool, but I'll politely agree to disagree and you can go join Legend in the corner.

EDIT: Double post.

She was going to be mentally husked by the void... how is that not damaging? Yes sustained herself with the Force over a number of days, as a pro-Bane supporter like me I'd assume you'd recognise why that is very difficult.

The indication is that as soon as she'd gotten the appropriate coordinates from T3 she went straight to Dromund Kaas, and started her scouting mission. Four days of fatigue, insomnia and starvation can only be partially remedied by repeated sessions of Force meditation. What worsened this is that the first time she had any time to recover, she attempted meditation to gain enlightenment but was incapable due to the darkness of the planet.

To actually recover she'd need a day of recuperation, the closest she gets to that is after fighting Nyriss where she spends hours watching Bastila's holo on repeat with Revan, after this they went to the citadel and started their assassination attempt in the midst of chaos. During this travel Surik enters a form of Battle Mind, this is the only time she manages any recuperation.

Believe me, I over-analysed the novel like hell the last few weeks.
