Battle of Rakata Prime

The Battle of Rakata Prime was the final battle of the Jedi Civil War, fought between the Old Republic and Darth Malak's Sith Empire.

Battle
The events of the battle were set into motion when the crew of the Ebon Hawk finally discovered the hidden location of the Star Forge, the heart of the Sith war effort. Commander Carth Onasi transmitted the factory's coordinates to the Republic.

Unfortunately, the crew of the Ebon Hawk soon discovered that a nearby planet was home to a disruptor field, which caused the ship to plummet onto the planet surface. They soon realized that the entire Republic fleet could be decimated by the field. The crew was able to disable the field as the Republic Fleet arrived, and joined the battle that raged above. Carth Onasi soon contacted the Admiral Dodonna, informing her that Bastila Shan was aboard the Star Forge, and was using her Battle Meditation against the Republic. Master Vandar, Admiral Dodonna, and Carth decided to try to slip the Ebon Hawk through the defenses of the space station, with only a few other Jedi in starfighters for support.

While the Republic fleet struggled against the much stronger Sith Fleet, the Ebon Hawk, and their Jedi support, managed to penetrate the factory's defenses. Revan and his companions broke through endless wave after wave of Sith Soldiers, and Dark Jedi, making it to the command deck. Revan became separated from his companions, and was forced to confront Bastila alone. This time he persuaded Bastila to renounce the dark side and return to the light side. She used her Battle Meditation to aid the Republic fleet, allowing the Republic break the Sith line.

Revan confronted and defeated Malak in a vicious lightsaber duel, and escaped aboard the Ebon Hawk with Bastila and the rest of his companions. Shortly afterward the factory's main orbital stabilizers were destroyed by the Republic Fleet, and the factory fell out of orbit and plunged into the star below.

Aftermath
Dodonna awarded the Cross of Glory to Revan, Bastila Shan, Jolee Bindo, Zaalbar, Mission Vao, Canderous Ordo, Juhani, and Carth Onasi (and presumably HK-47 and T3-M4) for their actions in the battle.

With both Bastila and Revan back on the side of the Republic, and the Sith's primary factory destroyed, the Sith forces were quickly scattered by the Republic. The survivors went into hiding, attaching themselves to Darth Sion, Nihilus and Traya in the coming years.

The Sith Academy on Korriban became a focal point for the Sith infighting that followed, and even under Darth Traya, they were never again strong enough to overtly challenge both the Republic and Jedi, the way they had under Revan and Malak.

Behind the scenes
In the alternate Dark Side ending of the game, reborn Revan retook the title of the Dark Lord Of The Sith. Taking Bastila as his Sith Apprentice, Revan mercilessly cleaved his way to the Star Forge and Darth Malak.

As Bastila used her Battle Meditation to hamper the Republic Fleet, Revan evaded the Star Forge's defenses, fighting his way to the Factory Level. The Sith Lord slew his traitorous apprentice.

With a significant portion of the Republic Fleet destroyed, Revan prepared to crush the Republic. Abrubtly, though, he halted his campaign, and left known space without giving anyone much of an explanation. Without Revan's strong Dark Side mastery, the Star Forge atrophied from misuse by lesser Sith Lords. This power vaccum paved the way for Traya and her apprentices, the Sith Triumvirate, to assume control.

Of course all this is non-canon.
