Battle of Malachor

The Destruction of Malachor V was the last known event of the Old Sith Wars. It occurred in 3,951 BBY.

Behind the destruction were the Jedi Exile and his former Lieutenant Bao-Dur, the inventor of the Mass Shadow Generator, which has been previously used by the Exile in the Battle of Malachor V to crush the Mandalorian fleet.

Shortly after the Battle of Telos IV, Admiral Carth Onasi appointed an audience for the Exile. Having recognized him as one of Revan's generals and his ship, the Ebon Hawk, as Revan's former ship, he asked the Exile to find Revan and bring him a simple message that Carth is following his orders to keep the Republic safe.

After that, the Exile departed to Malachor V, the last known location of Revan, as he also had his own business on the planet—he was to reach Kreia and stop her before she would sacrifice herself and kill the Exile as well through their Force bond. At least, this is what Kreia wanted him to believe, while in fact, she was hoping to use the Exile, given his unusual nature, to create a wound in the Force that would destroy the Force itself, rendering the Jedi and the Sith alike powerless and completing her revenge.

Upon arrival on Malachor V, as the Exile was descenting into the depths of the Trayus Academy, Bao-Dur sent his remote on a mission, contacting it via a pre-recorded hologram. It turned out that the droid's primary objective, the one it was built for, was reactivating the Mass Shadow Generator and undoing the damage done to Malachor nine years earlier—by destroying the planet itself.

Bao-Dur's remote succeeded in powering the generator from crashed Republic ships. However, it was intercepted by G0-T0, who was interested in Malachor staying intact, believing it would help him and the Exile bring stability to the galaxy.

Eventually, as the Exile confronted his former teacher, Kreia, now once again Darth Traya, in the Trayus Core, she failed to manipulate him. She died, still attempting to break his will, but retaining some benevolence towards the Exile, calling him the greatest of her apprentices and revealing the fates of his followers, the worlds she visited, and the Republic.

Meanwhile on the surface, the Mass Shadow Generator, through unknown means, was activated, and the Ebon Hawk arrived to save the Exile from the collapsing Trayus Core. The ship took off Malachor, which fell apart behind it, finally silencing the echo in the Force that the Exile created during the Mandalorian Wars.
