Skirmish on Korriban The Skirmish on Korriban took place between the redeemed Jedi Apprentice Revan and the entire Sith Academy . History . Arrival on Korriban . Near the end of the Jedi Civil War , Revan and the crew of the " Ebon Hawk " were sent to Korriban to locate a Star Map . However , when they landed on Dreshdae , their way was blocked by the Sith Academy , and the only way for Revan to enter was if he talked to Yuthura Ban , and she let him join the Sith . Reports differ on how Revan persuaded Ban to let him in : it said he may have talked directly to the Twi ' lek and got in ; but it may be possible Revan killed a Sith student in self - defense , took his medallion , and showed it to Yuthura , who let him join the Academy . Earning Prestige . Once inside the Academy , Revan was asked by the Headmaster of the Academy , Uthar Wynn if he was ready to learn the secrets of the dark side . It was immediate that Uthar sensed the " Dark Kernel " in Revan and commented whether or not it was ready to sprout . Soon , Revan was approached by Yuthura Ban , who told Revan that once he gained enough prestige , he would be given access to Naga Sadow ' s tomb , where Yuthura wanted Revan to help her kill Uthar and become the Headmaster herself . Revan began looking for ways to gain prestige within the Sith Academy and the Valley of the Dark Lords . He possibly aided Lashowe in retrieving a Sith holocron , but often had to lie to Uthar in order to receive prestige because many of his actions showed mercy and compassion . For example , he helped a rogue Sith named Thalia May escape the Shyrack cave s by killing a terentatek , and claimed to have killed her . He possibly destroyed or deleted the assassination programming of a droid in Marka Ragnos ' Tomb , allowing it to leave Korriban and tricked the Sith Academy Interrogator into releasing a Mandalorian prisoner . He redeemed two Sith students : Mekel , whom he saved from the mad hermit Jorak Uln who had captured him , and Dustil Onasi , son of Carth Onasi . He even redeemed the spirit of Ajunta Pall by allowing him to finally rest in peace by becoming one with the Force . Revan received enough prestige to enter the tomb of Naga Sadow for his final test . Tomb of Naga Sadow . Once Revan entered the tomb , he was told that a Star Map was inside , and he had to find it . Inside the tomb , he recovered Naga Sadow ' s Poison Blade . He killed several wraids and two terentateks , found the remains of Shaela Nuur and took her Solari crystal . He found a pillar with a fire grenade and an ice grenade . Revan used the ice grenade to freeze an acid pool that blocked his way to the Star Map . After finding the Star Map , he was confronted by Yuthura Ban and Uthar Wynn , who turned on each other . Revan helped Yuthura kill Uthar , but then Yuthura attacked Revan , who quickly beat her . Broken and defeated , she pleaded for mercy , and Revan then convinced her to return to the light side , thus redeeming Yuthura . She departed Korriban for the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine . Battle of Korriban . Revan was confronted by three Sith at the Academy ' s entrance . They realized that he wasn ' t a Sith , and tried to kill him . Revan killed them first , and entered the Academy . Once inside , he regrouped with his party and with his great strength in the Force . Revan managed to kill every Sith inside . Just outside Dreshdae , the lone Sith soldier guarding the entrance to the Academy attacked Revan , but was quickly slain . When Revan re - entered the Korriban colony , nobody there knew of the battle yet , and Revan drove the Sith from Korriban . Afterward the Jedi forces looted the Valley . Behind the scenes . There are many possible outcomes to the Skirmish on Korriban depending on the player ' s skills and actions . The above is the optimal Light Side path that grants the most Light Side points upon completion ; however , Revan can achieve enough prestige to enter Naga Sadow ' s tomb having completed less than half of the available quests on Korriban , and has many opportunities to choose the Dark Side over the Light . The ultimate ending of Revan ' s adventures on Korriban depends on his choices and his Persuade skill ; if he chooses to side with Uthar or to kill both Uthar and Yuthura for being Sith , Yuthura may die on Korriban . On the other hand , if his Persuade skill is not high enough to convince Yuthura to join the Light Side or he simply chooses not to , Revan may choose to allow Yuthura to remain Master of the Academy and depart peacefully with the " skirmish " never having happened at all . Author Drew Karpyshyn comfirmed in an email that this battle is the same one mentioned in his novel that Revan led .
