He moves towards a central pedestal and watches as a key - similar to the one given to him by Vader - shoots out of the pedestal and floats in mid-air. The Smuggler does so but is then criticized by Vader as his abilities are accepting but lacking. Vader then initiates the Smuggler's third test of the Force, to tap into the dark side and exterminate the vermin. The two then tread down the pathway and come across a large room populated by nests of Lava nymphs.

Vader then explains to the Smuggler that Lady Corvax had absolutely no idea of what she has created, and with the power of the Aeon Engine, the Sith Lord himself will become unstoppable. The message ends by begging her descendant to help. Corvax explains that before she passed away, she hid the Bright Star in a hidden chamber near her husband's tomb, as the stone has a chance to unlock a restoration of Mustafar and its people.

However, her plan failed as Mustafar and the Mustafarians paid a terrible price for her transgressions, leaving the planet the way it is now. She was desperate to save him, which is why she created the Aeon Engine, a device that has the ability to harness the energy and power of the Bright Star. Corvax tells her descendant to proceed with caution into the area ahead, and reveals how her husband was struck down in battle. The Smuggler then follows Vader who then goes to show them a special blocked message, left to them by Lady Corvax. After succeeding in the test, the Smuggler learns that they have only viewed a small portion of the Force, but Vader will show them more over time. Vader engages a second test of the Force, asking the Smuggler to use the Force to defend themselves. After the Smuggler does so, the machine releases a pulse of light and opens a gate to another passageway.Д«oth the Smuggler and Vader move ahead into the passageway, as Vader explains that the Smuggler has still much to learn. Vader then hands the Smuggler the other activation stone to finish what he started. Vader then proceeds to place the stone into one of the two pedestals ahead, causing a ceiling key machine to awake as it returns to its proper use. The smuggler is instructed to use the Force to take control of the stone, and when they do so, Vader explains that the Force is responding to the Smuggler's bloodline. Vader initiates the Smuggler's training of the Force by grabbing a nearby activation stone as the Smuggler's first test. Vader demonstrates the power of the Force on a nearby destroyed statue of Lady Corvax herself, and explains to the Smuggler that the Force is more powerful beyond anything they could ever imagine, as it 'discloses the enigmas that will cause the fragile and broken to turn away in horror and agitation' Vader also claims that if the Force is truly someone's servant, they will understand the secrets of life and death both.ДЄs Lady Corvax's machines and devices can only be controlled by her, or her descendants, the Smuggler's bloodline unlocks these devices, but certain other challenges posed by the Force will require additional learning to overcome. However, Vader explains the Smuggler's ancestor was weak, and broken by her sentimentality and softness, and that the Smuggler will not make the same mistake his ancestor did years ago. The two make their way to the entrance of the inner sanctum, where The Smuggler learns from Vader that their ancestor, Lady Corvax, was force-sensitive during her time. Vader decides that he shall train the Smuggler in the ways of the Force, as they will need this knowledge in order to survive the path ahead. Beginning immediately after Darth Vader confiscated the smuggler's lightsaber and told him that he will not be denied in Episode I, Vader explains that the Smuggler has no choice but to help him capture The Bright Star out of Lady Corvax's secret sanctum, located right underneath Vader's Fortress in Mustafar, and that he senses a nascent Force ability within the Smuggler.
