By the height of the Jedi Civil War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire , he had attained the rank of ensign with the Republic Navy . During the year 3956 BBY , Ulgo was an officer stationed aboard the " Hammerhead " - class cruiser " Endar Spire " , where he was the bunkmate of the amnesiac former Sith Lord Revan . However , Ulgo believed that Revan was simply a new recruit , and since the two worked opposite shifts during normal duty , they did not interact with each other . That year , their vessel fell under attack from the Sith Empire over the planet Taris , due to the presence of the ship ' s Jedi commander , Bastila Shan . Shortly after the attack began , Ulgo enlisted Revan ' s aid in finding Shan both to help her escape and so that they could fight their way off the cruiser . After Ulgo and Revan battled through many Sith trooper s and discovered that Shan had already evacuated the ship , they eventually came across a Sith Lord named Darth Bandon . Knowing that the Sith could kill both of them , Ulgo sacrificed himself by holding off Bandon so that Revan could escape the doomed warship . Ulgo ' s sacrifice allowed Revan to leave the ship in the last remaining escape pod along with a Republic officer named Carth Onasi . Biography . Serving the Republic . A Human male named Trask Ulgo was born into House Ulgo , an Alderaanian noble family that was embroiled in a rivalry with House Organa on the planet Alderaan . Eventually , Ulgo joined the Navy of the Galactic Republic and had attained the rank of ensign by the height of the Jedi Civil War , which was fought between the Republic and the Sith Empire , led by Darth Revan and Darth Malak , two Jedi – turned – Sith Lords . By 3956 BBY , Ulgo served as an officer aboard the " Hammerhead " - class cruiser " Endar Spire " . That year , he was assigned to the same quarters as a Republic recruit who was actually the amnesiac former Sith Lord Revan , although Ulgo was unaware of his bunkmate ' s identity . Ulgo and Revan worked opposite shifts while onboard the cruiser , and they did not have opportunities to interact with each other . During the time Revan and Ulgo were bunkmates , the " Endar Spire " was placed under the command of Bastila Shan , a Jedi whose skill in battle meditation was essential to the Republic ' s war effort . Under Shan ' s command , the " Endar Spire " was ambushed by a Sith fleet commanded by Darth Malak in space over the planet Taris . While the rest of the cruiser ' s crew and complement of Republic troops attempted to fend off the boarding parties of Sith trooper s and Dark Jedi , Ulgo returned to his quarters within the ship ' s command module to obtain his bunkmate ' s aid in protecting Shan and escaping the ship . Before Ulgo arrived , Revan was roused into consciousness by the battle and the " Endar Spire " shuddering as it was wracked by laser cannon fire from Sith interceptors . Ulgo explained the situation to Revan and stated that it was their duty to ensure that Shan evacuated the ship . After collecting Revan ' s gear , they fought their way toward the bridge through several groups of Sith forces in the ship ' s corridors , until they stumbled upon a short duel between a Jedi and a Dark Jedi . Although the Jedi was victorious , she was killed by an explosion shortly after defeating the Dark Jedi , leaving Ulgo and Revan to continue on to the bridge . The pair eventually arrived at the bridge and defeated the Sith troops holding the position , although they found that Shan had already evacuated and was headed to the ship ' s escape pods . Reasoning that the Sith would destroy the ship once Shan escaped , Ulgo decided that their only option was to flee to the planet as well . However , before Ulgo and Revan could make it to the pods located on the ship ' s starboard side , Ulgo heard a noise behind a door and opened it , revealing Malak ' s apprentice , Darth Bandon . Upon seeing the Sith , Ulgo realized that there was little chance that they could survive a battle with the double - bladed lightsaber - wielding Sith Lord . In order to save Revan , he charged into battle with Bandon and closed the door behind him to ensure that he could buy his comrade enough time to escape the ship . Bandon ultimately overcame and killed Ulgo , although Revan and another Republic officer named Carth Onasi used the last escape pod to evacuate the ship before it was destroyed . Legacy . Later that year , after having been retrained in the ways of the Force and sent out by the Jedi Council in search of the a Sith - controlled device known as the Star Forge , Revan encountered Darth Bandon once again , in the underwater Hrakert Station on the planet Manaan . Along with his companions , Revan bested Malak ' s apprentice and his two Dark Jedi followers in a duel , which resulted in the death of Ulgo ' s killer . Ultimately , Trask Ulgo ' s sacrifice on the " Endar Spire " allowed Revan to defeat Malak and the Sith Empire , which Revan had once controlled , as well as hold off invasion from another Sith Empire for almost three centuries . Ulgo ' s sacrifice in confronting Bandon was admired centuries after his death , and his family became quite powerful on his homeworld of Alderaan . Bouris Ulgo , the self - proclaimed King of Alderaan and head of House Ulgo during the Alderaan Civil War , revered Trask Ulgo greatly . Peema Ahuff , the curator of the Royal Museum of Alderaan , believed that Ulgo ' s sacrifice was an act of martyrdom and that he remained one of Alderaan ' s noblest sons . Ahuff also linked Ulgo ' s sacrifice to Revan ' s defeat of Malak . In 3643 BBY , Peema Ahuff acquired the preserved head of Darth Bandon from a smuggler with the intentions of presenting the head to Bouris Ulgo as a peace offering in order to improve relations between Ahuff ' s House Alde and the king .

Due to his sense of duty , Ulgo was outraged by cowardice and disloyalty . Despite the fact that the odds were against the Republic forces on the " Endar Spire " , he still believed that he should locate and aid his Jedi commander rather than simply evacuate the ship . Ulgo also held the combat skills of both the Jedi and the Sith in high regard , believing that common soldiers would merely impede combat fought between Jedi and Sith .
