Battle of Malachor The Battle of Malachor was one of the last known events of the Old Sith Wars . It occurred in 3951 BBY and was the final major event of the First Jedi Purge . Prelude . Behind the destruction were Meetra Surik and her former lieutenant , Bao - Dur , the inventor of the Mass Shadow Generator , which had been previously used by Surik in the Battle of Malachor V to crush the Mandalorian fleet . Shortly after the Battle of Telos IV , Admiral Carth Onasi appointed an audience for Surik . Having recognized her as one of Revan ' s generals and her ship , the " Ebon Hawk " , as Revan ' s former ship , he asked Surik to find Revan and bring him a simple message that Carth was following his orders to keep the Galactic Republic safe . After that , Surik departed to Malachor V , the last known location of Revan , as she also had her own business on the planet — she was to reach Kreia , who threatened to sacrifice herself and kill Surik as well through their Force bond , resulting perhaps even in the death of the Force . Upon arrival at Malachor V , the " Ebon Hawk " crashed into part of a canyon area and was suspended far above an abyss , falling into the abyss shortly after Surik ' s departure into the Trayus Academy . And as Surik was descending into the depths of the Academy , one of Surik ' s companions , a bounty hunter named Mira fought and defeated Hanharr , whom she had previously fought , and healed by Kreia before being sent after Mira on Nar Shaddaa , and Bao - Dur sent his remote on a mission — which activated via a pre - recorded hologram . It turned out that the droid ' s primary objective was reactivating the Mass Shadow Generator and undoing the damage done to Malachor nine years earlier by destroying the planet itself . The Battle . Once inside the academy , Surik faced off against all of Kreia ' s dark forces , killing them , then finally confronted Darth Sion . As they dueled , the " Lord of Pain " believed that Kreia would accept him back as her apprentice once Surik is destroyed . But despite his abilities to regain consciousness with the dark side , Surik defeated Sion and explained that Kreia was only using him to get to her . Knowing this to be true , Sion confessed that he " hated " her because of her " beauty " and became one with the Force . Bao - Dur ' s remote succeeded in powering the generator from crashed Republic ships . However , it was intercepted by G0 - T0 , who was interested in Malachor staying intact , believing it would help him and Surik bring stability to the galaxy . Following the battle with Sion , Surik confronted Kreia , having again assumed the mantle of Darth Traya , in the Trayus core . After a verbal exchange , Kreia refused Surik ' s offer of redemption , insisting instead that the apprentice must kill the master . After Kreia and Surik dueled , Surik severed Traya ' s hand , but refused to kill her , in which Kreia then used the force to make three purple lightsabers float in the air and attack Surik . Surik defeated all of them , but killed Traya in the process . Mortally wounded , Kreia declared Surik to be her greatest pupil of all , and after revealing to Surik the future of her companions , died with Malachor . On the surface , the remote succeeded in activating the Mass Shadow Generator , and the damaged " Ebon Hawk " was piloted out of the core and arrived to save Surik from the collapsing Trayus Core . Malachor disintegrates , freed from the mass shadows , finally silencing the echo of the Mandalorian Wars and ending the first ever Sith Triumvirate as Surik and her allies escaped the exploding planet . The fragments of the planet became an asteroid field , and centuries later , small pockets of life were discovered among the pieces of the world . Behind the scenes . Destruction of Malachor V was the grand finale of the 2004 Obsidian Entertainment video game " " . In the alternate dark - side ending , Malachor V is not destroyed , and the death of Hanharr is not seen . Several scenes from this event were from the final product . During the G0 - T0 and remote battle , HK - 47 was supposed to arrive with three HK - 50 droids that he recruited from the HK Manufacturing Plant to destroy G0 - T0 and allow the remote to complete its task ; however , this scene was cut because of the game ' s short development timetable . This was later made official in " The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia " .
