Endar Spire

Endar Spire was the name of a Republic capital vessel during the Jedi Civil War around 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin.

Not as grand or as powerful pre-Malachor V Republic capital ships, vessels during the second half of the civil war appeared to be little more than modified transport vehicles, such as the later Consular-class Space Cruiser and Corellian Corvette. This was likely the result of a combination between the expended resources in the war against Revan, and the fact that Revan absconded with most, if not all, of the Republic's former capital ships, such as the Leviathan.

Endar Spire was one such ship. It was assigned to carry Republic Admiral Carth Onasi and Jedi Bastila Shan. However, upon arrival at the Outer Rim world of Taris, it was ambushed by Sith forces, who boarded the vessel in an attempt to capture Bastila. The Sith soon overran the bridge, forcing Carth to the escape pod bay. Bastila used one of the escape pods to reach Taris, and Republic soldier Trask Ulgo and a mind-wiped Revan were forced to fight their way through the Sith forces to the escape pods. As they did so, Trask sacrificed himself to hold off Darth Bandon, who had boarded the vessel. Shortly after Revan and Carth had escaped, the vessel was obliterated by the Sith.
