Endar Spire The Endar Spire was a " Hammerhead " - class cruiser that served with the Galactic Republic Navy during the Jedi Civil War . In 3956 BBY , it was assigned to Jedi Knight Bastila Shan and crewed by , among others , veteran commander Carth Onasi , Ensign Trask Ulgo , Revan , and several Republic soldier s . It was part of a larger Jedi battle fleet , designed to stop the invading fleets of Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Malak Sith Empire . While orbiting the planet of Taris , the " Endar Spire " was attacked by Malak ' s Sith . Part of the Dark Lord ' s forces , led by Darth Bandon , boarded the ship aiming to capture Shan alive . Those Sith trooper s and Dark Jedi killed most of the " Endar Spire " crew , while Sith warships and starfighters kept the ship intact as the boarding team attempted to take Shan prisoner . Revan , Ulgo , and Onasi engaged the Sith and made their way to the ship ' s main bridge in search of Shan , who had already escaped . Shortly thereafter , Revan and Onasi got in an escape pod and fled as well , with Ulgo sacrificing himself so that Revan and Onasi would survive . Realizing that Shan was no longer aboard the ship , the Sith fleet opened fire on the " Endar Spire " , completely destroying it . Description . The " Endar Spire " was a " Hammerhead " - class cruiser in the navy of the Galactic Republic . It was manufactured by Rendili Hyperworks . At 315 meters long , the ship was armed with four double light turbolaser batteries , two medium turbolaser batteries , two point - defense laser cannon batteries , and a tractor beam battery . The ship ' s deckplan was an identical to another " Hammerhead " - class cruiser , the " Harbinger " . The engines , bow , and dorsal side were painted red , while the main body was predominantly white in color . The " Endar Spire " crew included Republic soldier s , which could defend the ship against enemy boarding teams . Many of these soldiers , the ship ' s Commander , the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan , one Jedi Master , and at least two other Jedi were present when the " Endar Spire " was attacked by the Sith Empire in 3956 BBY . At the time of the attack , other members of the crew included Revan , who had lost the memories of his life as a Jedi Knight and Dark Lord of the Sith , as well as Republic Captain Carth Onasi and Ensign Trask Ulgo . The ship also contained at least one droid , which could be programmed for combat . The hallways of the " Endar Spire " were colored white , with maroon strips running across them while the floor was colored gray . The ship was lit by illuminated panels . A series of blast doors within the ship ' s corridors could be magnetically sealed to protect against an attack from an enemy boarding operation . Crew quarters were equipped to house two crewmen , but due to rotating shifts , it was rare for roommates to see each other . The " Endar Spire " bridge , located in the bow of the ship , was home to the ship ' s navigation computer . Computer terminals lined the outside walls of the bridge , with a chair positioned in front of each one . A large viewport stretched around the front , port , and starboard sides of the bridge , providing a view into space in three directions . The escape pods were located on the command deck , accessible from a door on the bridge . There were at least four escape pods aboard the vessel . History . Republic mission . During the Jedi Civil War , the " Endar Spire " was assigned to transport the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan . The amnesiac former Dark Lord of the Sith Revan was added to the crew at the advice of the Jedi Council , so that Shan could keep a vigilant watch over him , lest they successfully trigger the return of Revan ' s memories of the Star Forge , the superweapon used by the Sith Empire . The " Endar Spire " was assigned to a larger Jedi battle fleet , whose goal was to defeat the Sith Empire ' s invasion fleet at the planet of Taris . Shan ' s battle meditation abilities had been vital to the war effort of the Republic . The leader of the Sith Empire , Darth Malak , believed that if he could take Shan alive he would be able to turn her to the dark side and planned an ambush for the warship . Neither Malak nor the Sith knew Revan was on board at the time . The Sith flagship , " Leviathan " , was stationed above the ecumenopolis in order to pull the " Endar Spire " out of hyperspace and board it . The " Endar Spire " , transporting its crew , was oblivious to the planned ambush . When the " Endar Spire " was stagnated , the Sith boarded under the leadership of Malak ' s apprentice , Darth Bandon , with a force of Sith trooper s and at least one Dark Jedi . Attack on the " Endar Spire " . When the Sith boarded , Republic soldiers on board swiftly engaged them . Revan was awoken by the noise of battle and by Ulgo . Revan , whose memory had been wiped , believed himself to be a normal Republic crewman who had been conscripted onto the " Endar Spire " prior to the mission . Meanwhile , Onasi called for all available Republic personnel to report to the bridge . While a Jedi engaged a Dark Jedi Bandon had led aboard , Ulgo and Revan hastened to obey Onasi ' s order . The Sith , wanting to ensure they captured Shan alive , were avoiding using firepower heavy enough to destroy the " Endar Spire " outright . Shan , realizing her imprisonment was the primary objective of the Sith attack , made her way to the starboard escape pods in an effort to guarantee the Sith lost their prize . When Revan and Ulgo reached the bridge , they found the last of the Republic soldiers aboard being cut down by a Sith squad . They killed the squad , but were faced by Darth Bandon . Ulgo , buying time for Revan to reach the escape pods and Onasi , who had just ordered the ship abandoned , engaged the Sith Apprentice , sacrificing himself for Revan ' s benefit . Revan , reaching the pods , entered the last capsule alongside Onasi , and escaped from the dying ship . By this time , Shan , as well as at least three Republic soldiers , had already abandoned ship . Realizing their target was no longer aboard , Bandon returned to the Sith fleet , and the Sith opened fire on the " Endar Spire " , destroying it seconds after Onasi ' s and Revan ' s capsule had jettisoned . Legacy . The ship , though severely damaged , had recorded the subsequent Bombardment of Taris . The " Endar Spire " eventually crashed on the planet , likely after the bombardment . Surprisingly , the ship remained more - or - less intact . The remains of the " Endar Spire " were visited by generations of survivors , though not all of them were peaceful . As of the Great Galactic War , pirates had made their home around and in the remains of the " Endar Spire " . In an attempt to obtain recordings of the Sith Bombardment of Taris , the Republic infiltrated the wreckage of the ship . In the end , the recordings were recovered by the Republic and they were used to prevent a disaster similar to Taris . Behind the scenes . The " Endar Spire " first appeared in the game " " , by BioWare . Encountered in the opening gameplay sequence , the player is given an introduction to the gameplay and timeline featured in the game aboard the " Spire " . Composed of two separate sets of maps and multiple rooms , the areas include the command deck , escape pod bay , and crew quarters . Unlike most environments encountered in " Star Wars : Knights of the Old Republic " , there is very little the player can do to change the way he or she interacts with their surroundings aboard the " Endar Spire " . The gameplay choices featured on the " Endar Spire " span only methods of killing enemies and different choices of speech to characters in the game . Nothing the player does will affect the fate of the " Endar Spire " or its crew in any way . Its second appearance , is encountered in the game " " . The player , or group of players are given a mission to retrieve the data logs still held inside the ship , which has been taken over by scavengers . Though only the one ship is seen , " Chronicles of the Old Republic " Part XI states that the " Endar Spire " was part of a much larger Jedi battle fleet , whose purpose was to halt Darth Malak ' s invasion force at Taris ; however , this fleet has not been mentioned since . The cutscene of the " Endar Spire " destruction in " Knights of the Old Republic " shows the ship being completely vaporized , whereas in " The Old Republic " there is a mostly - intact crash site on the surface of Taris , seemingly invalidating the earlier game ' s depiction of the ship ' s fate .
