Trask Ulgo

"Now hurry up, we have to find Bastila! We have to make sure she makes it off the ship alive!"

- Trask Ulgo

Trask Ulgo was male Human who served as an ensign with the Galactic Republic Navy during the height of the Jedi Civil War. As an officer aboard the Endar Spire, he was assigned as the bunkmate of the amnesiac former Sith Lord Revan, helping him to get his bearings as their vessel fell under attack from the Sith Empire. He eventually sacrificed himself so that Revan could escape the ship, taking Darth Bandon on in single combat in order to delay the apprentice.

Biography
As an ensign in the Republic Navy, Ulgo was serving aboard the Endar Spire in 3,956 BBY, when the ship was attacked by a Sith fleet under the command of Darth Malak in the space over the Outer Rim world of Taris. While the rest of the Hammerhead-class cruiser's crew attempted to fend off the boarding parties of Sith troopers, he returned to his quarters within the ship's command module in order to help his bunkmate, whom he believed to be a new recruit but was actually the amnesiac former Dark Lord Revan, escape. Trask informed Revan that it was their duty to ensure the survival of Bastila Shan, the Jedi was in command of the mission, at all costs. Together they fought their way to the warship's bridge through several knots of invading Sith forces, encountering a short duel between a Jedi Knight and a Sith Lord on their way.



When Carth Onasi, who was also serving aboard the Endar Spire, informed Trask reasoned that their only option was to follow Bastila's example and flee to the planet below. However, before the duo could make it to the escape pods, they were confronted by Malak's apprentice, Darth Bandon. Trask realized there was little chance that they could survive an encounter with a Sith Lord and thus he chose to sacrifice himself to save Revan. He confronted Bandon and sealed the door behind him, making sure his death would buy Revan enough time to escape.

Personality and traits
"For the Republic!"

- Trask's last words

Trask Ulgo was a dedicated soldier of the Republic who took his duty very seriously. He also held a high regard for both the Jedi and the Sith, and knew what they were capable of accomplishing in combat. Despite knowing this, however, he demonstrated his loyalty by single-handedly taking on the apprentice to Darth Malak in order to ensure the survival of his comrades.

Behind the scenes
It is possible that Trask's family were the same Ulgos that were killed by the assassin Selven.

Trask Ulgo's dialogue in the opening sequence of the game serves to teach the player how to use game controls; on the party selection screen, his portrait is on the square that later will belong to Bastila. When the player confronts Darth Bandon later on in the game, the player may choose a dialogue option in which Revan accuses Bandon of killing Trask. Bandon subsequently admits that he did indeed kill the ensign.

Trask Ulgo was voiced by veteran voice actor Cam Clarke.
