Endar Spire

Endar Spire was the name of a Hammerhead-class capital ship during the Jedi Civil War around 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin.

Service
Not as grand or as powerful as pre-Malachor V Republic capital ships, vessels during the second half of the civil war appeared to be little more than modified transport vehicles, comparable to the later Consular-class space cruiser and Corellian Corvette. This was possibly the result of the huge loss of ships the Republic suffered at Malachor V, Revan's subsequent departure with the remainder under his command, and the expended resources in the Jedi Civil War upon his return.

These smaller ships appeared to be poorly armed in comparison with those the Sith possessed. Endar Spire appeared to be armed with only a few turbolasers, six is usually the standard. Based on information of Harbinger&mdash;a ship of the same class&mdash;Endar Spire might also have possessed hidden anti-starfighter swiveling quad-laser turret pods.



Endar Spire was assigned to carry Commander Carth Onasi and Padawan Bastila Shan, along with another important passenger, whose identity was a secret to all but certain selected Jedi. 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 Commander Onasi to the escape pod bay. Bastila used one of the escape pods to reach Taris, and Republic Ensign Trask Ulgo and the important passenger 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 the important passenger and Carth escaped, the vessel was obliterated by the Sith.
