Battle of Telos IV

The Battle of Telos IV was a battle that started the downfall of the dark trinity of Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion, and Darth Traya in 3,951 BBY.

The battle
The conflict was orchestrated by Kreia, who realized that Darth Nihilus had to be stopped from consuming all the life in the Galaxy in his hunger for the Force. Knowing that General Vaklu and Colonel Tobin were allied with Nihilus, she lied to the latter&mdash;who had barely survived the Second Battle of Onderon&mdash;about a number of Jedi hiding in Atris' secret academy on Telos. In fact, the only Jedi inhabitant of the academy was Atris herself.

Kreia's plan worked perfectly. Immediately after leaving Onderon, Tobin reported the misinformation to Nihilus. The Sith Lord took the bait and moved his fleet to Carth Onasi's homeworld which was monitored by the Admiral himself, and was also distracted from Dantooine, the real location of the surviving Jedi. Despite the suddenness of the Sith's appearance out of seemingly nowhere, the Telos Security Force led by Lieutenant Dol Grenn managed to keep them from completely taking over Citadel Station until reinforcements arrived.

The first reinforcements were sent from Dantooine and Onderon, Republic worlds with political situation recently stabilized by the Jedi Exile. After that, the Exile himself appeared on the station after dealing with Atris, who had fallen to the dark side. With the Exile's help, the combined Republic forces cleared the Citadel Station from Sith troopers.

The battle then moved into space, following the arrival of a large Republic fleet under the command of Admiral Onasi. The Exile prepared to infiltrate the Sith flagship, the Ravager, with the help of Visas Marr, Darth Nihilus' former apprentice, as well as Mandalore and a group of Mandalorians. Canderous had his personal reasons to participate in the battle&mdash;he wanted to restore the Mandalorians' former glory and remind the Galaxy of their courage in the Battle of Malachor V.

The Exile, Visas and the Mandalorians boarded the Ravager using a small Mandalorian shuttle and planted four proton charges in different sites of the ship. The Exile and Visas confronted and killed Nihilus on the bridge, after which the group left the Ravager just before it exploded.

With their flagship destroyed and their leader dead, the Sith were eventually defeated by the Republic fleet. But Carth Onasi's business on Telos was not over, for he didn't come alone&mdash;he brought Bastila Shan, who somehow escaped the Jedi purge that followed the Jedi Civil War. They knew that Revan's ship, the Ebon Hawk, was recently seen on Telos, but they discovered that the Jedi Exile knew nothing about Revan's disappearance, nor was he aware that the ship once belonged to Revan.

Carth told the Exile the story of his adventures with Revan during the Jedi Civil War&mdash;starting with their escape from the Endar Spire&mdash;and asked him to tell Revan, if the Exile ever found him again, that he followed Revan's order to protect the Republic. Bastila, however, did not reveal herself to the Exile, and only spoke to Carth about the mission Revan charged them with after the Exile left.

Finally, the Exile took the Ebon Hawk off Telos, heading to the forgotten world of Malachor V.
