1st: Engage the Republic as far from the Star Forge as possible and send reinforcements in consolidated waves. 2nd: Stay with Bastila or near her at all times to ensure her loyalty. 3rd: Only rely on the Battle Meditation as a last resort should the battle turn against the Sith as is possible with the assistance of the Jedi. 4th: Lock the blasted doors on the Star Forge. Come on Malak, basic security here. As it stands, the Sith Empire under Malak had the Republic vastly outnumbered thanks to the strategies of Darth Revan early in the war. That advantage needed to be driven home as savagely as possible. While it makes sense to use every weapon (specifically the Battle Meditation of Bastila) at the same time and crush the Republic in one decisive battle, Bastila was only recently turned and therefore not truly reliable.

Um, I think the Republic fleet was significantly larger than the Sith fleet at this particular battle, because the Republic was going all-in on this assault and the Sith weren't expecting an attack and were expecting that if an attack did come, the disruptor field on Lehon would take care of it. If you've played KotOR, you'd know that in the Dark Side ending, Bastila says that if she doesn't use her Battle Meditation, the Republic will destroy the Star Forge. And in the light side ending where you kill Bastila, not redeem her, the outcome is a Republic victory. So to win, either Bastila's Battle Meditation or the disruptor field on Lehon would have been the Sith's only hope.

There's a couple things that always struck me as odd about this battle. The first is that depending on whether you're playing light or dark side, seems to change the number of republic ships vs sith ships. If you play dark side, it says that the sith are outgunned/outnumbered. If you play light side, the republic while taking losses and a star forge that keeps producing ships is still able to defeat a fleet composed of Mandalorian war vets (albeit they did have the support of battle meditation, but battle meditation isn't a guaranteed win). So its not really clear what the size of the fleets were. The second is that the idea of the star forge producing more ships. The star forge, as far as we know, doesn't produce droid star fighters. Nor do we know of the droids it produces manning/flying any of the ships. So it seems somewhat strange that apparently the star forge can keep increasing the odds in favour of Malek when all it can do is produce unmanned ships. Why does Malek, apparently, have a vast army of ship crew/pilots just sitting in the star forge?

The battle meditation basically allowed a crack in the massed defenses of the Sith fleet which the republic capitalized on if they were being whittled down. In the dark side ending tho there's no crack in the defenses and Sith began pressing their attack before finally overwhelming the republic fleet through sheer numbers and firepower Also the factory produces droids and it's likely the ships are crewed by droids till the Sith get some human crew for them

Honestly I think the easiest path to defending the Star Forge would have been venting all hangars into space and filling them with combat Droids... and maybe sealing them off until the battle was over. Or just upgrade the space station to have a meaningful defense of its weak spots. That is, however, only partially in the path to protect the new pawn. I’d have kept her under heavy guard AND stayed close to keep her from turning. You can only dodge blasters in a lightsaber battle for so long... And my Star Forge would live! ÔwÔ

Well since the majority, if not the entire Sith fleet are indicators, my best strategy it lays ships out along the hyperspace lane and pull portions of the Republic Fleet and attack with overwhelming firepower, rinse and then repeat. As the Sith could handle a prolonged battle and could use the tactic to weaken the fleet before they reach the system. Which if weak enough, just send the fleet to overwhelm the battered Republic fleet.

Not unreasonably. If we look at the films and EU, canon and legends, the outside battles outsides always seem to be influenced by the battle between the Sith and the Jedi. Luke and Vader in episode 6. Klyo and Rey in episode 8 and in KOTOR, Bastilla (albeit still new) was a Sith fighting the Jedi Revan. That battle lead to a direct effect on the space battle. I'd imagine given the state of the republic in KOTOR 2, if Malak survived. He could easily rally Sith forces across the galaxy and still defeat the republic. He just wouldn't have the hack that is the Star Forge.

But even if you fail it will give me the time I need to complete my preparations of the station's defenses. And then we shall see if Revan can stand against the full fury of the Star Forge!

"Why is the Starforge actually considered a "weapon"? It´s a factory, given the plans it could create civil products as well!" According to the fluff, or at least how I remember it, initially it was just a factory. But overtime, because of the constant darkside exposure and its semi-living state, it became intrinsically corrupted. So I guess it became like a sith holocron, or some other darkside artifact- intrinsically geared towards dark side outcomes. So I guess it could be used for non-violent production initially, but overtime it would slowly corrupt the lightsider.

Dedicating a group to find and destroy the Ebon Hawk, a ship they knew Revan was on, seems like the only change in strategy they could have made. The Republic fleet was clearly strong enough to force a breakthrough had the Sith gotten aggressive and been drawn out of position. Putting Revan down before he infiltrated the Star Forge was their only option, because Malak was only a threat for Revan in that room where he could feed off of corrupted Jedi. Malak and Bastila could not handle Revan and his party, because Revan is just too powerful. And Malak already tried overwhelming Revan with the garrison, which Revan proceeded to cut to pieces.

Defender the enpire would end up beating the rebellion, due to the republic becoming the empire and thousands more star destroyers and venators even. with the mass venator production during the clone wars, there might not have been any real chance of the separtists really fighting back. fighters wouldve been their only reliable defenses. becuase the war would go so fast, an empire might not even form and palpatine could litteraly just destroy the senate and republic jedi with his armies, and eventually when the inevitable rebellion forms, wipe them away as well. the galaxy would end up entirely in galactic empire hands, and possibly end up with exegol manufacturing the xyston destroyers, (although the star forge could i suppose) and have even stronger forces to fortify the galaxy with. however, there is always a possibility the the empire gets rebraanded due to palpatine literaly becoming to old to competently rule.

I'd keep the flag ships stationary at a close proximity from the Starforge then send most snub fighters to the enemy capital ships to do some damage, they would be okay against the capital ships as their guns are usually slower. I would then take full advantage of battle meditation, I would send some scouts around the Starforge to detect any infiltrators. If it was Revan, I would lure him to the room with Bastila and catch him off guard, by bringing myself and some Sith apprentices. We would hopefully overwhelm him and take him and the rest out. After the snub fighters did enough damage, the capital ships would go in and attack the capital ships of the Republic, the snub fighters would stay close to our capital ships and ward off any slow bombers or enemy snub fighters. We would push them back, maybe even destroy them in the process.

Set up a laser grid like in the clone wars TV show. At that point, the only ships that can make it through are starfighters, which can be further wittled down with point defense cannons and your own fighters. Plus, if all of your ships are super coordinated because of battle meditation, your ships have an even greater advantage in this scenario. In addition, I'd add some orbital defense platforms outside the laser grid to deal with capital ships.

I'd go with a tiered defense, starting with ion cannon that downed the Ebon Hawk, a couple of interdictors with more troops and equipment at the base, at the very least tie Revan down long enough for the cannon to take a few chunks out of the fleet. Next I'd split the defense fleet into two dedicated defense and assault group, while making up the loss in number from both with reinforcements from the Star Forge, that way you're safe to go after Republic forces without compromising the Forge's safety. Assuming Revan does still indeed take down the base on the planet and boards the Star Forge, I would make sure Bastila is properly defended, like you said Eck, with Malak in the room.

I guess I would hold my forces back closer to the star forge so that they could shield it more effectively. The star forge is durable enough to survive a few shots that might slip through the cracks, so I think its more important to prevent a republic fleet from getting up close. To be honest, since we're outgunned and facing revan, I dont see us having a very clear advantage, so I'd prioritize protecting our two main assets- bastilla and the star forge- above all else. Since we're just defending a stationary object, there isnt altogether that much we can do. The single place where we have the best chance of turning the tide is if we can prevent Revan from ever stepping foot on the star forge. I dont really know its defenses well enough to say what we can do for sure, but if we could close all hangars down and then focus our starfighters enough to destroy the ebon hawk or at least force it to retreat, then there would be no way for Revan to reach Bastilla.

Number one thing I would do as Malak? Send a Dark Jedi in Bastila's shuttle back to temple on Lehon to reengage the dampener field. Number two, have Bastila under guard, not alone while she is using Battle Meditation. Since Dark Jedi might be unreliable here due to wanting her place as his apprentice, use Star Forge droids. Number three, place her in a room that is NOT accessible on the way to his observation platform. He chose to engage Revan there to be able to drain captured Jedi so that was where he should stay as that was really the only thing that gave Revan problems when fighting him. My one gripe with your video is that although stuff like fighter craft might be easy and fast to create, even Star Forge cannot whip up Leviathan class vessels in seconds. And you need crew to man them. So the Sith fleet here could only count on droid reinforcements realistically and we saw only ground droid units. Danger of the Sith fleet lied in their already great numbers as Malak pulled most of his forces there and their positioning. That is why Republic was looking for a way into the formation, there was little they could do from outside.

During the early stages when the republic was holding back, they could’ve just pushed a portion of their fleet out to overwhelm the republic. They don’t even have to outright defeat them, forcing a retreat alone would be enough.

Build a giant, Endor-esque shield generator to protect the Star Forge, and only lower it occasionally to allow new ships to leave. I'm talking, basically, build an entire fleet, lower the shield just long enough for them to leave, and then raise it again. That way, even during the short window when the shield is down, there's an entire fleet of brand new ships ready to defend it. Then you just keep Malak and Bastila on the Star Forge, where Revan can't get to her, and, even if they can find a way, they can't defeat both of them at once. If the Republic try to besiege it, keep the shield up and wait for reinforcements to arrive and more ships to be built. Then, combine the reinforcements coming from behind with the new ships from the Forge, and trap and defeat the Republic fleet.

I would put my fleet around the star forge so my fleet has cover fire from the star forge. I would cover bastla with several trusted sith around her and many traps around the room is In. I would also use the new ships to my advantage keeping them hidden until a opening in the republics defensive/offense formation and you send the ships through to flank behind them along with several squadrons of star fighters

Simple first i would move several of my forces out of the area having them hide on both sides of the fleet that coming in but still leaving some forces to fight making it look like we are still in this. Then as they come in and try to mob up the forces i quickly order the hiding fleets to come in and flank them from both sides and for them to slowly move out in a way that cuts them off from retreating (I know its space but no one ever thinks of going down or up) then i would have them supplemented with battle meditation and more ships coming in form the forge destroy the remainder of the fleet, With the main fleet destroyed any backup they send would fall apart instantly or or retreat.

Some suggestions (though I'm not sure if you do ground battles) Battle of Kuat (empire at war) Battle of Coriella (Swtor) Each battle of Balmorra (swtor) Battle of Bothuwui (SWTOR) Battle of the Hydian Way (SWTOR) Battle of Hoth (SWTOR) Yeah pretty much every battle from SWTOR if you're doing ground battles

If I were commanding the fleet, I'd move and keep it close to the Station itself. Since the Star Forge had very little if any point defense systems, I'd have ships protecting the vital points: Hangar bays and the like. I'd also keep Batilla with me and under heavy guard while her battle meditation does a good portion of the work. With the Republic fleet drawn in so close I would encircle it with my fleet and prevent many of them from escaping.

I use a large number of interdictor cruisers in an entrapment configuration, catching the Republic fleet off guard and making sure they can’t escape. I would then send a vanguard force of cruisers protected by screens of fighters to harass the enemy fleet, while still having a sizable amount of ships protecting the Star Forge. The fighters would be in defensive screens, and sweep enemy fighters if they try to smash their way into my blockade defense. That’s how I would destroy the Republic fleet if I was the Sith Commander

Just FYI, the Sith in KOTOR had interdictors, one was used to pull the Ebon Hawk out of Hyperspace in the game, which ended in Bastilla's capture and subsequent fall to the dark side.

I would probably use minefields in the republic's approach vector, enough to simply flood their defenses and destroy them from sheer firebower alone. a plus of this is that the intense explosions would destroy their starfighters en masse, and leave their ships in disarray. Also, you could make _so_ many more mines than _Interdictor_ cruisers

The Star Forge is one of the most brilliant superweapons in all of Star Wars. It didn't just draw POWER from the star, it also drew it's resource supply from it...Hydrogen and Helium are make up over 98% of your typical main sequence stars...it is my belief the Star Forge is essentially a matter recombiner, using those most basic elements to create more complex ones. The rooms in the station were massive, easily able to fit a hundred troops within each one. So in a 5 room radius surrounding my main location in all directions I fit 50-80 soldiers PER room let Revan and his party fight an entire army in each and every step they try to get to me....then in a 5 room radius out from that I there is a minimal troop presence; because EVERYONE is falling back as I systematically vent the entire station'a atmosphere and deactivate the gravity controls. At this point the only 4 potential threats in the party are Revan, Juhanni, Jolie, Canderous and HK-47...and of those 5 MAYBE Canderous and HK are capable of being a prolonged threat. Not even Jedi can last long in a vacuum while fighting. Plo Koon managed it in the Clone Wars for what...five minutes tops? So now, they have to navigate a station that is a labyrinth , in a vacuum, without gravity, (and no means of propulsion or life support seen beyond the Ebon Hawk, THEN if they get to my security preimiter they have to fight through a small army 5 times, THEN they have to fight me, and Bastilla, along with another small army at the same time to take the station.

Best scene of KOTOR about Battle of StarForge. Jedi Order & Old Republic vs Sith Empire in battle during Jedi Civi War. Star Forge is an ancient destruction Superweapon from Rakatan Empire in thirty millennial years before KOTOR event. Star Forge looks like Death Star and Starkiller base. I hope KOTOR will be canonized.

Abandon the forge and strike at key spots in the galaxy to finally cripple the republic. You lose the star forge but gain the galaxy. You can also leave behind a defense force that uses the forge as bait to draw in the republic and then abandon defense to destroy the republic fleet whilst your main fleet is attacking undefefended republic key worlds. If the defense fleet acts quick enough you may be able to win before losing the star forge
