If you have not returned to the dark side, Darth Malak has summoned Bastila to the command center:
Dialog
Bastila: Master, why have you summoned me? Without my Battle Meditation there is a chance the Republic capital ships could break through and attack the Star Forge itself!
Darth Malak: This will not take long, Bastila. You will be able to resume your Battle Meditation soon enough. I only wanted you to know that Revan is here on the Star Forge.
Bastila: Revan? But...
Darth Malak: The Force is bringing us towards a confrontation with my old master. The Star Forge has drawn our enemies together so they may all die in a single, glorious day! You must kill Revan to prove yourself worthy of being my apprentice, Bastila. You must finish what began in the Rakatan Temple.
Bastila: Y-yes, Lord Malak.
Darth Malak: I sense your fear, Bastila. But it is unfounded. The power of the Star Forge will feed the dark side within you, it will give you the strength you need to defeat my old master. Stay here in the command center while you use your Battle Meditation against the Republic fleet. Revan will find you here in due time. It is inevitable.
Bastila: Of course, Master. I will not fail you again.
If you have returned to the dark side, he has summoned his three strongest dark Jedi:
Dialog
Dark Jedi: You summoned us, Lord Malak?
Darth Malak: Bastila has betrayed me. I must select a new successor to be my apprentice; one who will one day take the mantle of Sith Lord away from me. Of all the Dark Jedi that have sworn allegiance to me, you three are the strongest. One of you will have the honor of becoming my new apprentice... if you prove yourself worthy.
Dark Jedi: Tell me what I must do, Master! Anything!
Darth Malak: Revan is on the Star Forge, looking to reclaim the title of Dark Lord of the Sith. Wait here for my old master. Whichever one of you deals the killing blow to Revan will become my new apprentice.
Dark Jedi: We will not fail you, Master!
Darth Malak: Perhaps you will triumph, Bastila. But even if you fail it will give me the time I need to complete my preparations of the station's defenses.
Darth Malak: Perhaps you will triumph. But even if you fail it will give me the time I need to complete my preparations of the station's defenses.
Darth Malak: And then we shall see if Revan can stand against the full fury of the Star Forge! Ha-ha-ha!
The elevator door west is behind you at the northeast end of a short tunnel, and the door at the southwest end is closed so if you still need to heal or regenerate Force points then you can do so without fear of attack.
Once you exit the tunnel you'll find yourself at the north end of a broad walkway like the one you just left, except its sentries cannot be deactivated: a Sith heavy trooper stands to the northwest and southeast, while a Sith advanced trooper stands to the northeast and southwest.
Template:~ are only received if unused. However, it's quicker and easier to just run past them since they'll be replaced elsewhere if you kill them: the use of their Template:KotORs gives them less time to attack you before you're out of range, and they won't pursue you (movement is advisable anyway to avoid getting entangled by any Template:KotORs used by the advanced troopers).
Although this is the last you'll see of any Sith heavy trooper, the Sith advanced trooper is among the enemies that can be randomly selected to appear from the central tunnel in the east wall of the walkway: once again, if this enemy is killed then a replacement will appear elsewhere as well. Other enemies include Sith advanced troopers with 110 Vitality (not 100) but no Adhesive Grenades, and Sith troopers:
Otherwise, the only way to go is through the central tunnel and up the ramp in the walkway to the east, which then turns north and ends in the door to a tunnel: if you kill any of the enemies previously encountered then depending on your position their replacements will appear from either of these tunnels, or the northwest and southwest ends of the previous walkway.
Command center
Through the north tunnel the walkway continues upwards to a landing before turning east to the door of a tunnel. As you approach, three dark Jedi seal it before engaging in combat. If you try to use the door before killing them all:
[This door is held closed by some great power, and cannot be opened at the moment.]
The door to the tunnel opens once all three have been killed. Save game before opening the door at the east end: once you enter the command center, the door will be held closed behind you and you'll never return here.
If you have not returned to the dark side, then Template:KotOR confronts you as you open the door. If you have returned to the dark side, Darth Malak's three strongest dark Jedi confront you as you enter:
Dark Jedi: Bastila! You were a fool to betray the Master... and an even bigger fool to return to the Star Forge.
Bastila: The only fools are those who still follow Malak. Open your eyes and see the true Lord of the Sith: Revan has returned!
Dark Jedi: Revan is nothing! Malak earned the title of Dark Lord by defeating his old Master - and now I will become Malak's new apprentice by doing the same!
If you try to use either door to the west or the south before killing them all:
[This door is held closed by some great power, and cannot be opened at the moment.]
Since you aren't immediately in range to use Force powers, all three will most likely have time to use Force Immunity before you can prevent it by debilitating them: however, if this is a problem then Bastila can use Force Breach to cancel it if you cannot.
Otherwise, their use of Force Immunity gives you an opportunity to use (Advanced) Template:KotOR or grenades (preferably three Template:KotOR), although they almost always save against the latter and the one on the left in the red shirt using a Template:KotOR is immune to Template:KotORs (plus Template:KotORs and the fire damage of an upgraded Template:KotOR, which may make HK-47 and Canderous unhappy):
The door to the west through which you entered is still held closed, but that to the south can now be opened. Once you've done so:
Bastila: The Star Forge is under assault from the entire Republic fleet! If I don't use my Battle Meditation to turn the tide, Admiral Dodonna's capital ships will destroy the Star Forge. I have to stay here in the command center so that I can best use my Battle Meditation against our enemy. If I don't the Star Forge will be lost! You must go to face Malak without me. Find him, kill him and reclaim the title of Dark Lord of the Sith!
The door closes behind you, with Bastila and any remaining party on the other side. Meanwhile, as the space battle rages between the Republic and Sith fleets outside, Admiral Dodonna and Master Vandar begin to realize that something is horribly wrong:
Dialog
Dodonna: The tide of the battle is turning against us. The entire Sith fleet reacts instantly to our every strategy. Every fighter and capital ship attack in perfect unison. I've never seen such military precision!
Vandar: I have - but never from the Sith. It's almost as if... No! Bastila is using her Battle Meditation against us!
Dodonna: What? Impossible! She's on our side!
Vandar: Not anymore, Admiral. I sensed something different about Bastila during her transmission, but I thought I was only feeling the evil presence of the Star Forge itself. I see now I was wrong. Bastila has turned to the dark side, Admiral. You have to give the order to retreat!
Dodonna: I can't do that. This might be our only chance to destroy the Star Forge - we can't withdraw. We can't.
Vandar: Then you will lose.
As Bastila turns the tide of battle against the Republic, you must get to the Template:KotOR for a battle of your own...
Bastila
Bastila stops her Template:~ to engage in dialog: although combat is still inevitable, she disengages several times once enough damage has been inflicted and resumes dialog. This gives you the opportunity to convince her to renounce the dark side and bring her back to the light. Some responses earn you points towards this, and at least 100 points are necessary to redeem her:
2. I'll never give up on you, Bastila. I know you can still be saved.
3. You can't escape, Bastila! Wherever you run I'll hunt you down!
Bastila: Sadly, I know this is true. Had you reclaimed the power of your previous identity I would be your apprentice, not Malak's. But you rejected the dark side.
Bastila: You are wasting your time. I have seen the Jedi for what they are: weak and afraid. The Sith are the true Masters of the Force. You have forgotten that lesson, Revan.
Bastila: I have no doubt of that. I was no match for you in the Temple, but when I fled I knew you would follow me here.
Bastila: Now you must pay the price. Here on the Star Forge the power of the dark side is at its strongest. This time you will not defeat me!

2. I'll never give up on you, Bastila. I know you can still be saved.
If you try to use either door to the west or the south:
[This door is held closed by some great power, and cannot be opened at the moment.]
Bastila: I see now why Malak followed you. Even though you are only a shell of your former self, you are still a formidable opponent. I can't even imagine the power you must have wielded when you were the Dark Lord. You were a fool to give it all up and follow the light side.
3. I'm still strong enough to defeat you, Bastila!
Bastila: Then it's time for you to prove it!
Otherwise, if you're trying to redeem her and bring her back to the light:
1. I am as strong in the light as I ever was following the dark side.
2. You've been consumed by the dark side, Bastila. Can't you see it's destroying you?
Bastila: The dark side has made me stronger than I ever was before! I have a greater command of the Force than all but the most powerful Jedi Masters. As Malak teaches me the greatest secrets of the Sith, I will unlock more of my potential. Eventually there will be no limit to what I can accomplish with the Force!
1. Malak will never let you become that powerful. He will kill you first.
2. You will accomplish death and destruction with the dark side, nothing else.
Bastila: Have you forgotten the ways of the Sith already, Revan? Eventually I will challenge my Master. If I am worthy he will die by my hand and I will become the new Sith Master.
Bastila: Jedi propaganda. The dark side is only a tool, and Malak will train me in its use. Eventually I will surpass my Master and challenge him. If I am worthy he will die by my hand.
Bastila: Then I will take on my own apprentice and the cycle will begin again. This is the way of the Sith, it is how we assure our leaders are always the strongest and most worthy!
1. You're dooming yourself to an endless cycle of death and betrayal.
3. I won't let that happen! I'll kill you first!
Bastila: No, Revan, it is you who are doomed!
Bastila: No, Revan. You are the one who will die here!

She heals fully before combat resumes. Once at least 90 damage has been inflicted:
Dialog
Bastila: You are growing weary, I can sense it! Your strength falters, the light side is failing you while the power of the Star Forge re-energizes me! Soon this will all be over!
1. I have not faltered, Bastila. You have been misled by the dark side.
4. You are the one growing weak, Bastila. I hear the desperation in your voice!
3. Your emotions get the better of you, Bastila. Remember the Jedi code.
Bastila: The dark side will always triumph over the light! Malak has assured me of victory! You can't defeat me here on the Star Forge! YOU CAN'T!
Bastila: You dare spew those Jedi lies in my face? You will die screaming, Revan!
Otherwise, if you're trying to redeem her and bring her back to the light:
2. Then strike me down, Bastila. I won't defend myself.
Bastila: What type of trick is this?
1. Remember what you once were, Bastila. A Jedi would never strike down a defenseless opponent.
2. You are not evil, Bastila. You will not strike down a defenseless opponent.
Bastila: I am a Sith apprentice now. You place too much faith in what I used to be... and for that you shall pay!

These two options are mutually exclusive. Once again she heals fully before combat resumes. Once at least 150 damage has been inflicted:
Dialog
Bastila: No, this is not possible! You have rejected the dark side, you are a weak and pathetic servant of the light! How can you still stand against me? Why can't I defeat you?
1. Now you see the dark side is not stronger than the light.
2. I am stronger than you could ever be, Bastila!
3. You can't win, Bastila. Now you must die!
Bastila: Yes, I see you speak the truth. I am no match for you. Please, for the sake of what we once shared, do not make me suffer. End my life quickly. There is no other way.
You can continue trying to redeem her and bring her back to the light:
[...]
Bastila Through your actions you have redeemed Bastila and brought her back to the light, just as you yourself were redeemed from your life as Darth Revan.
Otherwise:
2. You're right. Don't worry, you won't feel a thing.
Bastila: Do it. Quickly...
[...]
Bastila Bastila is lost to the dark side, and there was nothing you could do to convince her to return to the light.
The Final Confrontation You were unable to save Bastila from the dark side, and in the end you had no choice but to kill her so that the Republic capital ships have a chance to destroy the Star Forge. But you know that the Sith threat will never truly be over unless you find and destroy Malak himself.
Otherwise:
Bastila: I will stay here in this chamber and use my Battle Meditation to aid the Republic fleet. I am their only hope of destroying the Star Forge and ending the Sith menace. You must go and face Malak, but you have to hurry. Once I turn the battle in the Republic's favor we won't have much time to escape the Star Forge before it is destroyed.
Bastila: Good luck, my love... and may the Force be with you.
Bastila: Good luck... and may the Force be with you.
The Final Confrontation You've saved Bastila from the dark side, and she is now using her Battle Meditation against the Sith fleet. But you know that the Sith threat will never truly be over unless you find and destroy Malak himself.
East Elevator
The door from the command center has closed behind you, separating you from any remaining party. If you try to use it:
[This door is held closed by some great power, and cannot be opened at the moment.]
So you're alone at the north end of a large hangar which curves to the east. On either side are three droid generators, each with a terminal and spike bin beside it: Types A, C and D are along the east side and Types B, E and F are along the west side. If you try to use one of the terminals:
Terminal: ACCESSING DROID GENERATOR INTERNAL SYSTEM LOADING STATUS... GENERATOR INACTIVE
1. Log off.
The spike bins are currently empty. As you approach the door in the south wall at its east end, it opens to reveal Darth Malak, flanked by two choking Jedi knights behind him. As you watch, he throws his lightsaber at the one on the right then uses Force Lightning on the one on the left, killing them both:
Dialog
Darth Malak: I tire of this game, Revan. You have been a thorn in my side from the moment I seized the mantle of Dark Lord from your feeble grasp! You made a mistake coming here, Revan. The Star Forge fuels my command of the dark side. You are no match for me here. And this time you will not escape!
If you've returned to the dark side:
1. I am the Dark Lord reborn! Bow down before me, Malak!
2. I am the true Sith Master! Prepare to die, Malak!
Darth Malak: You may have reclaimed your identity, Revan, but you have lost the power you once wielded! You are not the Dark Lord anymore. You are nothing!
If you have not returned to the dark side then you move closer to the light or dark side of the Force depending on your response:
1. It's you who can't escape, Malak. Surrender and the Jedi might show you mercy.
Darth Malak: Is that what you call it? You think stripping away your power and your identity was an act of mercy, Revan? I would rather die!
Points Gained: +2 1. I was saved from the darkness, Malak. You can be too, if you wish.
Darth Malak: Spoken like a true slave of the Jedi code. Save your preaching, Revan - I will have none of it!
Points Gained: -6 2. The Sith slaughter ends here, Malak, with your death!
Points Gained: -6 2. That can be arranged!
Darth Malak: Ha-ha! You are such a fool, Revan! You claim to be a Jedi, yet you feed on anger and hate! But even the power of the dark side cannot save you now!
In any case, the conclusion is always the same:
Darth Malak: You are an insignificant speck beneath my notice. I have surpassed you in every way and accomplished what you never could... I have unleashed the full potential of this Rakatan factory! You had no idea of the power within this place! Its very walls are alive with dark side energies! And now, my old master, I will let the Star Forge itself destroy you!
The door closes again, and the six forge droids generated in the hangar behind you start to converge on your position. If you try to use the door:
The door has been locked down. The generators must be deactivated before it can be opened again.
Deactivating the generators does open the door... but it's much quicker and easier to just unlock it or bash it open:

A short tunnel ends in the elevator door east, beyond which is the elevator to the Template:~.
The only reason to stay behind and deal with the droids is if you still need to gain experience to level up to 20, which can be received for killing them:
Any Type D replacements have -1 Dexterity (15, not 16) resulting in -1 Defense, Reflex (4, not 5) and Attack (8, not 9), +1 Defense (so still 22) and -3 Vitality (72, not 75). Types E and F are also melee attackers:
A droid of the same type is generated each time one is killed, seemingly indefinitely. Each kill also generates a Template:KotOR in the corresponding spike bin, which can be used with the terminals alongside:
Dialog
Terminal: ACCESSING DROID GENERATOR INTERNAL SYSTEM LOADING STATUS... GENERATOR ACTIVE
1. [Computer] Disable generator. (8 spike(s))
2. [Computer] Override system to generate a droid to help you. (16 spike(s))

Received:
15 * level Disabled generator
Received:
15 * level Overrode system to generate a droid to help you
The same experience is received for both uses, but generating a droid uses at least twice as many computer spikes. However, it also gives you an ally:
Darth Malak: Perhaps you will triumph, Bastila. But even if you fail it will give me the time I need to complete my preparations of the station's defenses.
Darth Malak: Perhaps you will triumph. But even if you fail it will give me the time I need to complete my preparations of the station's defenses.
