Battle of Rakata Prime

The Battle of Rakata Prime was the final battle of the Jedi Civil War, fought between the Old Republic and Darth Malak's Sith Empire.

Battle
The events of the battle were set into motion when the crew of the Ebon Hawk finally discovered the hidden location of the Star Forge, heart of the Sith Empire's war effort. Commander Carth Onasi transmitted a message to Admiral Forn Dodonna of the Republic fleet, informing them of the new information. Unfortunately, the crew of the Ebon Hawk soon discovered that a nearby planet was home to a disruptor field, which caused the ship to plummet onto the planet surface. They soon realised that the entire Republic fleet could be decimated by the field. Eventually the crew were able to disable the field, and joined the battle that raged above.

Carth Onasi soon contacted the Admiral again, this time informing her that Bastila Shan was aboard the Star Forge, using her Battle Meditation against the Republic. Master Vandar, Forn, and Carth decided to try to slip the Ebon Hawk through the defences of the space station, with only a few other Jedi in starfighters for support.

Whilst the battle went ill for the Republic forces, due to both their outmatched weaponry and the effect of Battle Meditation, the Ebon Hawk crew and the few Jedi managed to find their way into the heart of the station. The Jedi were soon despatched by the defences of the Star Forge, but the redeemed Revan broke through to the command room. Revan was separated from his companions, but he met and defeated Bastila, who turned her Battle Mediation against the Sith fleet, finally allowing the Republic fighters to break through the enemy lines.

Revan eventually confronted and defeated Malak, before escaping aboard the Ebon Hawk as the station collapsed. With the Star Forge's orbital stabiliser destroyed by the capital ships of the Republic, the battle station plunged into the star it fed on. The Sith defence fleet was scattered or destroyed, and a celebration held on the planet below.

Aftermath
Dodonna awarded the Cross of Glory to Revan, Bastila Shan, Jolee Bindo, Zaalbar, Mission Vao, Canderous Ordo, and Carth Onasi (and presumably HK-47 and T3-M4) for their actions in the battle.

With both Bastila and Revan back on the side of the Republic, and the Sith's primary factory destroyed, the Sith forces were quickly scattered by the Republic. The survivors went into hiding, attaching themselves to Darth Sion, Nihilus and Traya in the coming years.

The Sith Academy on Korriban became a focal point for the Sith infighting that followed, and even under Darth Traya they were never again strong enough to overtly challenge both the Republic and Jedi.
