Destruction of Taris

The Battle of Taris took place over Taris between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire near the end of the Jedi Civil War

After reprogramming Revan's mind to that of a Republic soldier, Bastila Shan, on orders from the Jedi Council attempted to use him to locate the Star Maps on four different worlds and later, the Star Forge itself.

Only a few select Jedi accompanying Bastila knew of the soldier's true identity. She planned to use the battle as a distraction to the Endar Spire's true mission. However, the ship was ambushed by Darth Malak and Saul Karath in an attempt to capture her, never knowing that Revan was onboard.

Sith boarding craft were already launched from the Leviathan. Sith troopers and Dark Jedi led by Darth Bandon quickly made their way to the bridge, but Bastila Shan was about to escape due to the efforts of Carth Onasi, Trask Ulgo, and the mind-wiped Revan.

Although Ensign Ulgo was killed fighting Bandon, Bastila and later Onasi and the mind-wiped Revan escaped in escape pods before the Endar Spire's destruction.

Aftermath
Since Malak was not able to locate Bastila on Taris, Karath's fleet bombarded and destroyed the surface of the planet.
